Favorite Movie Soundtracks

Since I was a little kid I loved film music. The epicness of some of the themes, the feeling they awake inside you, the scenes or openings they play in…

The Pirates of the Caribbean Trilogy, yes it’s a Trilogy like KFP and Shrek, at least for me.

Such an underrated Trilogy, with my favorite being at worlds end because of the bittersweet ending. Best pirate movies ever, I think we can all agree on that. Captain Jack Sparrow will forever be iconic and Pirates of the Caribbean doesn’t work without him, he is the heart of this franchise. So Disney don’t make a Reboot of it!

The Actors are all phenomenal, the setting is fantastic. You can really feel the pirates of the Caribbean flair. Even if I am not a huge fan of the movie 4 and 5 I really like the scene with the sirens in stranger tides. Also in this movie I cared more about the relationship between the priest and the mermaid Syrena than the actual heist. But the love story between Elizabeth and Will will always be my favorite, but they have to ruin their bittersweet ending in 5.

Don’t let me even start on the soundtrack because Hans Zimmer really nailed this score. He is a Genius. The Score…I can’t even describe how good this score is. The Main Theme is so good and One day being the best piece of the entire series. One day is so powerful and so beautiful. Definitely my favorite.

What do you think about this?

I personally think that Sarah J. Maas if you like her or not, is a stronger author in terms of pacing, character development, interesting characters and the chemistry between her protagonists and their friends. Nesta for an example is her most complex character in the entire ACOTAR-Series. Everything Yarros couldn’t do for me.

Yarros strength lies more in epic battles, but she really needs to structure them better. But some scenes, especially in the first book are to some degree good structured, that you can at least imagine what’s going on.

One thing both books have in common is the black haired male protagonist, which I will say I like Rhysand more, he feels more like a person with a tragic past, who has fought for his city and people. He and Feyre have incredible chemistry since the first scene they met. Violet and Xaden have none of that in my opinion. Xaden feels more like a Wish-Form of Rhys and is more one dimensional. Yeah he has a tragic past and a city and revolution he could fought for, but he is, especially in the second book overfocused on Violet. Which was by the way where whiny and annoying and also couldn’t think of anything else other than Xaden. It’s a shame that Hiccup from httyd gets compared to her, he is complex, has an amazing development and has a motive for everything he does. The only thing were I really cared about Violet, was with her friends and family. But always gets sidelined very fast. God, I shipped her more with Dain than her actual love interest. 😂 I have to confess the first book of fourth wing is not that bad, it’s mid but I wish the story were more about Violet and her relationship with Tairn because he had lost his Rider because of her brothers death. There are good Ideas in Fourth Wing and Iron Flame, what baffles me about both books is that we didn’t expand on them, like the Idea of what your sign says about you or the political stuff and the threat of Melgren and his followers. But I have to give Fourth Wing and Iron Flame that: the background story with the government and military is very interesting, I hope it will see more of it in the upcoming books. I prefer this over the Drama with Xaden and Violet any day.

As same as we got THAT from a lanky Viking Man with a twig of a neck and fluffy hair, who got a bit buffed with 31 or maybe it’s just his armor 🤔

The Jurassic Park/World Saga

Like with most Trilogies I like all of them, but have a favorite here. My favorite in this case is the lost world, I just love the wildness of this movie, the death scenes are more intense and remind me a lot of what happened in the book (when I listened to some audiobook tapes). The chase scene with all the hunters and dinosaurs is amazingly filmed, and the scene in the camp is scary as hell. I don’t want a T-Rex in my tent, I can’t imagine how scary this would be if this really happened in real life but we are luckily that the dinosaurs got extinct. But my favorite scene will forever be the scene in the long grass with the raptors. I also like the third movie even though it’s trash but let’s be real it’s beautiful trash, where you can have a lot of fun with, if you don’t think about the plot. The Raptors are my favorite in this movie because of how smart they are, plus the mystery of the amalgam testing. The scene with the pterosaurs in the big cage still scares the hell out of me as the final fight scene with the spinosaurus does. It’s a great movie in its own trashy way and if you still don’t like it, get back to it because than you didn’t know how much fun you can have with it. Some people even prefer the third movie over the second one, which I can sometimes understand because the second one do have its mistakes. Still it is a pretty good sequel.

The Jurassic World Trilogy is for me more like a guilty pleasure but it gets plus points for introducing the hybrids and the allosaurus. But same Rule as with the Jurassic Park three, don’t think about the plot just enjoy the action. Also it’s mostly the perspective of a child, which was Michael Crichtons early version of Jurassic Park. So to Dominion I have nothing much to say then that I like the extended cut more than the cinema version, luckily I have seen the cut version in the cinema. But the beginning and end of Dominion are awesome (and some of the action scenes) but I like mostly the scenery of Dominion than the actual plot. I think the plot got lost in the pacing and also the fact that Colin Trevorrow doesn’t care.

But I think my favorite part of the Jurassic Franchise will always be the two books, the two animated tv shows and battle at big rock.

I love this 😂🤭
