Lord of the Rings: Vol I for SNES. The game is worse than mediocre. It’s utter trash. I remain convinced they blew the budget on the soundtrack! It does a lot of things you really don’t hear that often on the SNES! Amazing!
Tron: legacy
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World has an awesome soundtrack.
The movie itself, has aged towards somewhere between mediocre and good.
We are Sex Bob-Omb and we’re here to make You think about death and get sad and stuff
Whale’s Voyage had a banger soundtrack: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=mWfM_tamSjU
I mean I’m seeing a lot of Tron legacy, but Tron Ares has a fantastic soundtrack and I’m in no rush to actually watch the film
Depending on who you ask, Tron: Legacy.
(I personally love the movie and rewatch it every couple years but it didn’t do well, IIRC.)
I murdered a lot of reapas in Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer to some of those songs.
| Depending on who you ask, Tron: Legacy.
The last real Daft Punk release.
Depending on who you ask, Tron: Legacy.
The movie was OK, but I vastly prefer the original. It has a certain 80s “Gee whiz aren’t these newfangled computers the greatest” feeling that you just can’t recapture.
Weirdest Sheridan and Londo fanfic I’ve ever seen. 👍
True, the soundtrack single handedly elevates it - there’s not much without that.
Rinzler’s my fav, tiny gods it’s still so good. Thanks for the share.
I feel like the entire, boring indie game Regions of Ruin was carried by its epic music.
A load of Amiga games I could mention - Shadow of The Beast, Shadow Of The Beast 2, The Killing Gameshow, Turrican 2, Blood Money - mostly Psygnosis. They were known for it at that point.
Agony’s main theme was so fantastic it got stolen by a major metal band.
The fountain (2006). The soundtrack was partially produced by the band Mogwai.
Love the movie and love Clint Mansell scores. Didn’t know about Mogwai and that’s dope! Only just recently discovered them.
Spawn movie.
If Spawn counts as a mediocre movie with good music, then you’d think Flash Gordon would be in the same category. But I don’t think either of those movies are mediocre.
I mean, cool, I fucking loved it, but let’s be real that outside of John leguizamo, the performances were mid. And it had almost no lasting impact. It’s just kind of an “oh yeah that was a movie wasn’t it” mid 90s comic book schlock.
But that album was like, actually peak 90s metal/ hardcore.
I might have a strange definition of mediocre, but basically, I think that if I had seen the movie once, and then I decide it’s worth watching again, then somehow it must not be mediocre. I’ve seen Spawn several times.
I think “mediocre” in this context would be mediocre to most people. Rather than you specifically. At least, that’s why I added some brackets explaining my Tron: Legacy answer in this post. (I personally don’t think it’s mediocre but imagine most did.)

I think you cannot ask about something subjective without getting people’s personal opinions. If you ask about an aspect of a mediocre thing, then you can expect at least some debate about what counts as mediocre, and probably none of the people’s answers will be correct.
For me, a “mediocre” movie would be something that I would only watch again if a friend wanted to watch it, but if it was just an option and I got to choose, I’d never choose it. But if it was just “on”, I might not change the channel. Let’s see, like The Rock directed by Michael Bay.
And then there are “bad” movies that I wouldn’t watch even if I had a friend who wanted to see it, like any other Michael Bay movie that I’ve seen. Armageddon had pretty good music, but it wasn’t mediocre. It was bad.
/shrug, you do you. I’m just leading a horse to water. But I cannot fill a cup which is already full.
I don’t know if it’s actually mediocre because I never played it, but Monty on the Run’s (C64 game) main theme seems hard to live up to.
Also Yor - The Hunter from the Future (1983) has the greatest intro song ever put on film.
…YOR’S! WORLD! HE’S! THE! MAN!
Huniepop is a porn game with the barest of stories between the titties, juvenile humor, and honestly the porn itself is just so-so. This is all wrapped around what is admittedly a pretty good match 3 puzzle game, but the soundtrack! For chill atmospheric music, that shit is fucking incredible.
Imagine slotting
into your SNES in 1993 and hearing THIS. The game kinda sucks but the music keeps you going.
I’ve never played mystic quest but I heard that song in Super Mario Bros Crossover!
sgu was pretty mediocre and somewhat subpar in the 1st season by scifi standards, and its previous incarnations(shows), but had great sound/music track though.
star trek enterprise , the original opening theme, not the wierd cringe singing they later replaced it with. and the other themes for the rest of the series. the singing was shoe-horned in and pretty inappropriate for the nature of the show, much like the ending of FF-X2 inappropiate cheerful singing as the “world” was getting annihilated by the unseen realm.
Jeez. I must be getting old. Mortal Kombat from 1995.

Recently got reminded of this (sadly) due to Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa passing.
The first “MORTAL KOOOOMBAT” yell from the song still owns some space in my head.
No no no, they said mediocre.
I thought for a sec you were talking about the game and not the movie. I’m not into fighting games or gore for the sake of gore but the game is a cultural landmark.
