"Both “The Winter Soldier” and “The Causeway” contain what sounds like a processed scream as part of the electronic sound mix, and which appears to be an attempt at a leitmotif for the Winter Soldier character himself; when I first heard it I had to stop and check that it wasn’t my own screams I could hear over my headphones." - Jon Broxton
Fantastic work.

I'm just going to go ahead and be snotty, because that's the reigning tone on this thread.
People who are pooh-poohing everything recent except the Iron Man 3 end credits are just letting us know that they like old-fashioned scoring. Well, duh indeed.
To my ears, those end credits are just as middling as all the rest of these scores - derivative, tired, by-the-numbers. Just a different flavor, and one more appealing to this infinitesimally small cohort.
And yes, perfectly workable for the film. Just like all the rest of these scores work just fine in their films.
Which is the ONLY reason for movie music, no matter how much WE like to listen to the scores apart from the movies.

For those on Facebook this is what Hans Zimmer has to say:
"I haven't seen or heard the movie yet. But this much venom and provocation makes me think it's the next "Rite of Spring"! Now I'm geniality excited!"
As a Stravinsky fan, that might be a stretch; but maybe he's talking more in terms of the riot it provoked.

I guess it depends on how you describe "old fashioned."
Many of my favorite scores are not what I'd call old fashioned. I don't need an orchestra, or grand melodies, or leitmotifs, or any of that (though I like those, too). What I do need is some organizing principle, some technique or instrumentation or idea or something to latch onto.
Basically, something to distinguish music from mere sound.
Now I haven't even heard this new "Captain America" score, so I have no idea whether it has anything for me. I'm talking in general.
About the scores being written to serve the film, to borrow your phrase, "Well, duh indeed." But I don't know that I'd say that all of these scores serve their films well, or well enough. Just my opinion.

I think a lot of people here are overreacting and enjoying it.

So far I'm not digging it. I'll see what I think of it in the movie. I'm just not hearing any Steve in this score.
As far as Marvel Studios movies go my favorites are Thor, Thor 2, Captain America. Iron Man 3 and The Avengers were alright.
As for Jackman, I loved Wreck it Ralph and X-Men First Class.
