I dislike the music in the movie. All of it. I hate it. I also am of the mindset that if this came out in any other decade besides the 80s, it’d have a different musical score/soundtrack. It’s distinctly 80s and if it wasn’t then IN MY OPINION, both the soundtrack and the movie would be better.
So “dated” felt like the best word for it. Since that clearly is not allowed, I’ll just say it’s terrible IN MY OPINION. Literally no one has to agree with me. Based on the replies I’d say no one does agree with me, too. So be it, I don’t care.
Honestly Die Hard feels just as 80's to me. The movie uses a crappy Run DMC song within the first 15 minutes.
I have 8 movies from the 80s on my Top 50 list (Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Thing, The Empire Strikes Back, Die Hard, The Shining, Blade Runner, Evil Dead II, and Batman).
Want to know what they all have in common? A creative and effective score. Even if it’s minimal (ie The Thing) or unorthodox (ie Evil Dead II), it’s genuinely effective in my opinion.
Lethal Weapon’s is not effective or creative. And it’s not just the use of jazz-like music or some synth sound I don’t like. Taxi Driver and Blade Runner have scores that utilize both of those respectively and I love their scores.
I just don’t like it. And I enjoy 80s cinema just as much as the next person.
