Stop the presses! I've grown to LOVE this score! It's addictive and I'm constantly humming Spidy's theme.
No kidding. (I was whistling Doc Strange on the way out of that film as well.)
Saw this yesterday and hadn't really listened to the score before either. I'm glad there are a couple of MG first timers on the thread (or first time enjoyers anyway). I didn't hear anything that made me reassess MG but it was a very solid score that I enjoyed. (I like MG.)
I thought Horner's theme was *ahem* amazing but nothing from the rest of the score jumped out at me. (Kind of like Garfield: Loved him and his Spider-man, not crazy about the movie.) I was never a fan of Elfman's theme but I liked the score.
Wow did Toomes (Keaton) glue this movie together. OTOH, um, is that the John Carter theme?
This was one of the movies that I went in thinking "Well, I'm pretty sure the previews have shown me the whole movie" and I was blissfully wrong. Sure there were three or four plot moments that I knew were coming (Death Star, Washington, Ferry, With Great Power Does Not Come a Suit) but in between those was a hell of a ride.
I don't know what this movie was like for people who 1) had not been reading Spidey comics for 45 years and 2) were not deeply entrenched in the Marvel Movies. I mean, when you tear up when (after the movie begins with Sony logos) the Marvel Studios logo comes up with the music telling you that Spider-man is finally in the MCU then you know you might be experiencing this movie in a different way than the people who just wanted to be out of the heat for two hours.
Oh, MG (or his directors) still seem to know the lost art of "Hey, let's have NO music over this scene!"

Maybe I'm not finding the right threads for this score where lots of people are talking about it.
If not, why is no one talking about this? Why is no one raving about this?
Between this and Rogue One, Giacchino has had two home runs in six months. (I liked Doctor Strange a lot, but it's not in the same league.) I still see active Rogue One threads.
S-M:H was the kind of movie that can really draw out a composer's abilities because it's not just one note of "HERO" for the whole film. There are several different flavors in this film for MG to work with.
Academic Decommitment is one of my favorite tracks in ages.
