[RollOnToVictory]

classical music is not dead.... the Motzarts, Beethovens and Bachs of our age are scoring movies.

[DillonB1234]

the track at the beginning is from the island not avatar

[Quistus9]

Well, yeah, Hans is very good, but I prefer Horner any time. When it comes down to beautiful and immensive scores, there is none above Horner. I really do understand why Cameron so eagerly wanted him to score Avatar.

[3carson3]

@Quistus9 they're different tbh, i love both their musics. IMO Hans is better at the epic, dramatic and emotional music while James is better at the musical, umm, more melodical stuff. Though Hans has some outstanding melodies too, and James epic stuff. They're equal in my books ;D

[MagicFilou76]

LOL

We mainly hear some "Steve Jablonsky" and "Immediate Music" musics in this video, which are very nice, but not at all corresponding to James Horner !!!

Hans Zimmer would have done a HUGE soundtrack for a project such as AVATAR

[theawesomesausage]

@MagicFilou76 hans would most likely have some people write it for him haha

[Atubrist]

"My Name Is Lincoln" is a masterpiece...and it fits Avatar very nicely. :D

[cinestar2]

has james lost lots of weight or why does he look so very different from interviews year ago?

[TEgnoto89]

what track on the soundtrack is the theme in the first few seconds of this video from?

[Airbusftw]

The soundtracks of Avatar are good, but James did so much much better than this.

[cobaltcomet]

Really? I don't think so- BUT I personally really like the tribal voices and feel of the Avatar soundtrack. When you listen to it you feel like you are in the movie even when you aren't watching that. And that's a really fantastic feat. I felt the same with Titanic's theme as well. I think James Horner is fantastic- and while The Island music was pretty good, it didn't transport me into the film. & Transformers music was stircly 'eh' for me. Just my two cents. :)

[unknown1982]

James Horner created the BIGGEST selling film soundtrack of all-time! The movie is none other than TITANIC, of course!

[alexpetalvarezz]

Wooouuuu¡¡¡¡ Preciosa Música¡¡¡...

[timothythehermit]

genius work

[babyKreck]

"My Name is Lincoln" good song from Steve J,  he also does the score for Transformers movies, and Gears of War.

[wuugie]

steve jablonsky - the island theme

hans zimmer would have made a more affecting soundtrack...

[ifarthottub]

@wuugie, Hans has got nothing on this, his style and genre is white and black compared to what James Horner produces. Both amazing composers but they both have their on niches, this was not Hans, hence why Horner was called up.

[mikesaut]

what is the name of the beginning of this video?

[laeccc]

it's I'm Lincoln, from Steve Jablonsky

[mikesaut]

thx ^^

[hariharankumar]

James Horner Rocks in Avatar. Oscar also for this time

[neyint]

does anyone know what's the name of the song at the beginning of last trailer? or this video also :) ?

sounds great!

[Guyverman01]

He did the music for Land Before Time.

[navylaks2]

Just finished on the stage, and then have to edit, sounds very cloose to Aliens in the way they worked.

I do think that this will be a great score, the last 2 times James and James were put together the outcome was very brilliant both for Aliens and Titanic, so i would expect no less from AVATAR.

[erwin111111]

James Horner is the best composer ever, with Williams and Shore

[calahoon22]

what about hans zimmer? surely you cant forget him?

[OceanwhisperersMusic]

James Newton Howard & Thomas Newman as well!!

[calahoon22]

of course those two as well all brilliant composers

[Loki1982axala]

I still wish I could :)

[calahoon22]

@Loki1982axala

what? you wish you could forget hans zimmer? are you insane? or am i just readin this wrong?

[Atubrist]

@erwin111111 I absolutely LOVE Shore's score for LotR. Unfortunately, I feel like that's his only really good work. Just my opinion.

[nfsmohpsp]

@erwin111111 hansd zimmer james horner, morricone
