Man of Steel (SPOILERS)

Re: The Man of Steel

I wonder what made him change his mind. Probably $$

That quote just furthers my belief that he won't be going for a memorable theme like Williams.

It'll probably be a moody score and have a heroic refrain for Supes that builds up and gets 'fleshed out' during the course of the film

Clearly its going to be nothing like Williams' work. Sounds like he doesn't want to even try to do anything comparable.

yeah I remember that.
Mb he realised that his talk about "one of his greatest themes" and "rewriting Beethoven's Ninth" was tooooo silly.

He don't need to.

Nothing silly about saying the Superman theme is one of Williams greatest themes. It is. Arguably the best. I also don't think there'd be anything silly about suggesting it as one of the best pieces of music ever written.

 

[IrishJedi]

Indeed we shall.

Superman requires an entirely different type of scoring than he's done with the Batman films. It will be interesting to see how he approaches it.

Re: The Man of Steel

Hans Zimmer is a great composer but has he scored any memorable themes? Off the top of my head I feel like Travolta's theme from Broken Arrow might be his coolest (which was randomly copied for Dewey in Scream 2.)

Crimson Tide was good but not really "transcedent" like so many from Williams.

Re: The Man of Steel

I don't think anything HZ does will come even remotely close to Williams score. That's why I don't really care what he does.

Void mentioned Gladiator which I agree has memorable themes that are more than just brrrrrrr BRRRRRRRRRR! (not that I dislike his Batman music, I do like it). And I'm sure hes done lots more. He did Rainman I think - totally different kind of film obviously but it has a good melody piece of music in it.

Ohhh forgot about that one. That does have an incredible march in it.

Yeah but still if you yell "Gladiator" people go "huh, what?" But you say "JAWS" and you've got a tune you're humming on the fourth of July.

Still sounds silly and pathetic.
You can respect the work of those who came before and it does not necessarily to "lick their asses" for/on public.

No one beats Williams. Not in ability, talent or impact on the industry. Who else has scored so many classics, the Olympics, the Nightly News and the Boston Pops?

Re: The Man of Steel

Personally I think this film will ultimately be a letdown. It's clear that Snyder is taking his own spin on this, couple that with the Nolan vacuum ideals and the more and more I see from Lois not looking like Lois to homeless Superman to the new 52ish suit (which I actually hate) to the Sauron battle armor for Kryptonians to the impractical Leonidas cape, I feel like it's going to be a hodge podge of stuff that resembles Supermanesque stuff but will be overdone to the point of not hitting the mark. Hell the Kryptonian suits remind me of something Burton would have pushed into his failed attempt. This definitely has a long way to go to get me on-board.

Good bit of paraphrasing of a Jaws line. I'll think of an appropriate response later on when the moment is long gone. The Gladiator music is reasonably well known though. I'm sure I've heard it used in trailers and sporting events. Though perhaps people aren't recognising what its from.

Still sounds silly and pathetic.

So you just don't like the lickarsedness of him saying it, not necessarily what he actually said?

I realize you like to open your butt for these guys but seriously, why even bother if the intent is just to halfass a score? YAY! I EXCEL AT MEDIOCRITY!!!!

The cape is pretty amazing, actually.
