The Rocketeer is a mediocre superhero score?

I used to like THE ROCKETEER until it started sounding like all of the other Horner scores.
So, yes mediocre Horner score.

So much for this film having at least a musical identity.

Bad news.

I was expecting someone like Chris Drake. His theme for ALL STAR SUPERMAN is magnificent.

I'd rather hear what Zimmer does to Williams than what Ottman did to Williams.

Zimmer did Oscar-winning work with another composer's themes in "The Lion King," didn't he?

Anyway, how fresh a re-boot is this going to be, if General Zod and the gang are in it?

This could be really interesting. The main problem with Ottman's score for me was that he stuck too closely to the themes Williams composed. I know Batman Begins doesn't get a lot of love on these boards but for me it "fits" Nolan's version of Batman and who is to say that Zimmer's score won't fit Synder's world. I don't think an Elfmanesque score would have been appropriate for Nolan's films.

I'm not a big fan of Synder's films and I bet that if the film has problems, Zimmer's score will be the least of them. Let's hope that both films and score are fantastic.

As long as it's not Tyler Bates, I'll be happy.

After Horner getting "Spider-Man", Silvestri scoring "The Avengers" and Doyle writing "Thor", I thought there was hope that one of these composers would get the opportunity to give the Man of Steel what he deserves: a nice sweeping score.
But then again, those composers mentioned above obviously had to adapt their styles to match the "modern" sound Hans Zimmer helped to create.

I guess I'll listen to Williams Superman now and be content! smile
Those who like Zimmer's stuff got good new today, I'm happy for them.

I'm guessing this means both film and score will be fashioned after that 'The Dark Knight' kind-of thing.

Well, I don't mind that 'The Dark Knight' thing. In fact, I quite like it.

That said, whilst I kinda like some of the moods Zimmer can create in a film like that, you won't ever find me buying the soundtrack CD.

Face it folks, the signal here is that this ain't going to be your 1978 Superman.

Cheers

If this is a truly a reboot of the Superman series, then I don't want Zimmer to utilize Williams themes. I think it should stand on it's on as a new version, just like Nolan did with Batman Begins.

I agree with that. Im no fan of Zimmer but he should be able to do something new rather than reference Williams' iconic themes of 30+ years ago. Im sure the kids of today have no interest in hearing Williams' main theme!

I don´t want Williams´ theme incorporated (I love it too much, it is too wonderful and connected to the other "Superman"-films).

And since this is a re-boot it deserves a fresh approach. I sincerely hope Zimmer will be up to this challenge and make this different from his BATMAN scores.

The question is: will we get a real theme for SUPERMAN - or is this something that the new film does not support, something that audiences nowadays would laugh at? Getting SUPERMAN, the character, right is tricky enough. But let´s wait until we actually can see/hear it.

While Zimmer may seem like a natural fit for the project,

lol

Agreed - it's a shame that Warner stopped releasing the scores for their DTV movies - there have been five good films since then, with very good scores, hidden away.

Well there goes another composer out of a job b/c Hans' hogging another popular franchise. I rather have another composer take a crack at this than Hans (or his clones or Bates).
