Are there any movie scores that you feel didn't mesh with the film? I'm trying to think of one, but can't think of any. I think maybe the new Gatsby movie is one. I get what they were going for with the modern soundtrack, but I didn't think it worked well. It took away more than it added to the movie. What do you think?

For Gatsby, I think the startling contrast of the modern music was intentional. I thought it was a little much, but it was the least of the problems in that hot mess of a movie. I can’t really think of any films whose soundtracks didn’t mesh well with the movie. The only recent one that comes to mind is The Amazing Spider-Man 2’s score, which was fucking awful. Completely took me out of the movie.
