I love this. It's lively, punchy and with a nice feeling of hope and exploration. It doesn't sound like "roll out the barrel" as Ottman's theme did.

I look forward to hearing more.

I attended last night's performance of this event at the Bowl and upon first hearing, Giacchino's theme for the upcoming F4 movie I thought that it really resembled his themes and music for "Lightyear'. It's also interesting how he is still leaning into a 1960's kitschy pop sound, as he has exhibited in other scores.

Gustavo Dudamel conducted the theme at the Hollywood Bowl on Friday


Yikes that was really bad.


Yeah, I had to stop it. It's not the theme itself, although I don't care much for the choir, but this particular orchestra hit so many wrong/bad notes and the choir did too I just couldn't listen any more. Hopefully it'll turn out fine. I'm more interested in what John Murphy does for Superman.

I really dig it and can't wait to hear more.

Well in this case, it makes sense given the film takes place in an alternate 1960's.

I've listened to this a fantastic four times and I love it more each time. It's got a giddy excitement to it and unlike "RoboCop" which came cheesy at the time (it has grown on me), the "Fantastic FOUR!" is once at the end and is an exciting "fist in the air" moment.

I get it, everyone has their preferences and likes what they like. When Giacchino was the flavor of the month back in the early 2000's and everyone was jizzing over him, I rolled my eyes. Now, I love his work and hear a ton of "he sucks." Same thing happened with David Arnold and Brian Tyler. It's the way it works. Everyone was crabbing about Jerry Goldsmith in the 90's, now people wanna resurrect him.

Enjoy what you enjoy, I f'n love this theme. Going in for #5.

Typical Giacchino, for better or worse.

This! I used to like some of his scores, Tomorrowland and Doctor Strange for example but the shine fades after awhile and Ive lost interest in his music. Like most films nowadays, the music is forgettable and isn't timeless. Other than a few exceptions great scores died when Horner died.

We might get a great score for the next great movie ( ooh when? When you see a Dodo sitting next to a pile of rocking horse crap)
I mean what is inspiring about reboots, sequels, prequels, reimaginings etc. Apart from the cheque.

Yeah I love this new theme too. I think it works and that the film will likely open with a montage of events that lead us into the film proper. This is really going to be a new era for Marvel.

I dunno, maybe the actual story when it comes out? Some work, some don't. {shrug}

The composition is alright but I will wait for a better quality video before judging on the sound.
