Does anyone know where I can find the X1 score? People keep saying it's the best out of the 3, and I can't quite remember the whole thing. I'm desperate to find it

You know... heh... She agrees with you

and me too.

And the O RLY owl in front of her, and then change her caption to "YES RLY!" and you'll have a masterpiece

That definitely sounded more like x1.. darker and less super hero-ish.

I want to know why the music that played in the Danger Room isn't on the soundtrack. It was very epic and almost Star Wars-ish sounding.

 

[Slim_X]

What's the name of the track used in the Danger Room scene?

 

[Charlie No-One]

Read above you.

 

[Slim_X]

Holy ****! Lmao, why didn't I see that?

 

[usagicassidy]

Still doesn't help us with the answer, lol.

God, i just listened to 'The X-jet" from the X1 soundtrack, and...dont you guys wish you were X-men when you listen to it? I feel almost like putting an uniform and going out to a mission the first half of this song is the best track in the trilogy, has the most X-men feeling. i absolutely love it...

I feel the same way... just imagine getting into the x-suit and replacing the glasses with your visor...and then you look at Jean and...holy smokes. She looks ingredible...

question is... would they be in the same room changing into their x-gear? ... lol... -sighs-

 

[flavio_lebeau]

good to know im not alone...this may be my nerdiest post ever, but i cant wait to go to a costume party just to get my X-men movie costume ready

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

would they be stripping out of their clothes in the same room...and then getting into their x-suits? Sounds like fun... and lucky to watch...ahem... get undressed and slip into her x-suit...

 

[flavio_lebeau]

i dont think so...there must be their own closets and such. Cyclops seeing Storm pasing in front of him with her bra...then Jean looks at him and gets pissed...while Wolverine intentionally passes really close to Jean in his underpants...and Rogue stares at Logan, while she's taking off shirt and gloves... then Cyclops optic blasts Logan...and Rogue absorbs Cyclops...then Storm creates lightning, then Jean kill everyone. No, it wouldnt work.

Simply put, the score was not memorable like the second film


It really had no purpose.

For me the scores from 1 & 2 aren't memorable at all and I just watched those recently. The score from 3 was great. Most noteworthy would be the Phoenix theme.

 

[Backdrifter]

the x2 and x3 scores are generic and cliche. the x1 score is the best by far.

Well all the uniforms are kept in the same room but since this is an institution there would be at least separate bathrooms so the men can admire themselves in the mirror and high-5 each other and go "good mission, dude" while the ladies can do each other's hair and gossip about the men

I have to agree on this. X3 has some interesting parts that give in an epic, almost haunting sound to it but overall I found the tone to be wrong an the music very rushed. Especially the alkali lake scene, the music sounded as rush ed as the scene itself. When you look back at other epic soundtracks, especially the work that John Williams does he likes to come up with a basic tune that gets reused in different scenes, arranged differently according to the mood. Like Luke and Leia's theme in ROTJ for example. It can be epic when necessary or gentle and soft if it's a delicate scene. X3 on the other hand doesn't have a tune that's instantly recognizeable or one that you can hum to yourself over and over again. Especially the "Whirlpool of Love" melody. What should be gentle he builds into a loud crescendo, and the tune itself sounds like it's cut 1/2-way through and changes to something else. The music interferes with the setup of the scene IMHO and doesn't flow smoothly, too jagged.

does anyone have the link to where i can get the x3 trailer theme?

 

[flavio_lebeau]

i never understood why the music which plays in the cgi intro is better and different then the version in the cd. They are similar, but the one in the actual movie is waaaaay better.

 

[XCharlieX]

I was expecting perhaps a lame imitation like for t3, I dunno I found x3s music to pass the litmus test. It sounded professional, although x2s score did have the most memorable parts. All 3 films are very well done music wise imo.

 

[sauronthegreat]

I can say that I was most impressed with the soundtrack of x-men 3. I like the movie, it is great. But the music in it is on a supreme level. I am most impressed by the way it was incorporated with the scenes. I cannot say anything about Phoenix's theme, because words cannot describe emotions it holds. I especially liked the X-Men's and Brotherhood's themes, they are strong and fast. But most of all I think Phoenix Rises song is a masterpiece. I hold it on a level with O Fortuna. When looking at that scene and listening to that music no man can't feel anything. It is like a part of some epic scene. I see Wolverine as Sisyphus who must climb a mountain with a burden no man can bear. The burden of Phoenix's external force and his internal struggle to kill the woman he loves.

Has anyone noticed that there has been next to no interviews with the composer of X3, the dvd also doesn't seem to have anything on Powell's score. Strange.

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

Maybe they forgot...
