I'm not saying there are fewer of you, of course. I'm saying that rescoring it would not impact you in any way whatsoeve

A re-score of the film would be ok with me, so long as they include the original score (or theatrical version) along with.
Maybe they could do this for a special edition blu-ray, which will contain the new version along with the old version. -

I just watched it today for the first time and didn't really like the score much, it sounded more like it belonged on a buddy cop movie than this! the movie was great but most of the music was really bad. It'd be better with not techno 80's music.

You people are a bunch of morons (those agreeing with the sentiment of the OP). The unique score to this great film is one of the many things that makes it well, unique.
I'm surprised any of you would like the film at all, since it shows some degree of good taste.
Just go back to your cookie cutter and incredibly mediocre lord of the rings / hobbit or whatever movies. -

My first thought every time I think of this film is - "Great film, but what a HORRIBLE score". It is perhaps the ultimate example of how a musical score can tank an otherwise beautiful and wonderful film.
Somehow, someway, someone has to fix this. -

Whether it's unique or not is beside the point really. Unique / different doesn't win any points with me if it doesn't work. It's whether it's any good or not (obviously subjective). Different and good is always welcome but being different isn't a good excuse in its own right, particularly if it looks like being different for the sake of it rather than "I've got this new idea I'd like to try and I've thought about it and think it'll work."
Just occasionally it does work - the score when they nearly touch at sunrise works very well indeed for example, so it doesn't necessarily have to be orchestral (and let's face it most orchestral music doesn't sound remotely medieval either). -

I just saw the film, and while I enjoyed it a lot, the music was distracting, and didn't seem right for the material. The same year as this was done, Elmer Bernstein gave a magnificent score to The Black Cauldron that sounded appropriately medieval. I wish that Bernstein had scored this film as well.

How can someone say that the score is bad? I love this song for instance:

And at the parts at 1:31 and 2:40.. aren't they beautiful?
