Anyone here ever tried to make a film, or even write a screenplay? That's shit's hard. I think if people want to focus their negative energy in a positive way - let's call out the greedy suits who know nothing about films or filmmaking, set arbitrary deadlines for the sole reason of wanting money sooner rather than later and are willing to sacrifice long term quality for short term gains.
Of course it's hard. It's a miracle any movie ever works. Still, it's hard to make an airplane fly, but we sort of expect the people at Boeing to do it right. As for greedy suits, the plain fact is movies like this cost well north of $100 million, and the longer a studio sits on that debt before trying to earn their money back, the more trouble they're in. It's just the nature of the beast.
We walked in with low expectations ( me mostly expecting to NOT hear the score) but all around found it to be a pleasant surprise. Not a home run but, it was fun. Sam Rockwell never disappoints, and the pacing was pretty brisk.
Debney's score got better treatment than I'd thought - although yes it was buried lots of times in the mix, it got a good workout in spots, the main titles were very nice. Good to see John attached to a blockbuster. Or a blockbuster I'd actually gone to see.
And Scarlett Johannson, yum and yummier.

Took me this long to finally get this score. It freaking rocks! While I am not a fan of the film itself, the music, which was drowned out for the most part, is really fun. Very muscular and the "I Am Iron Man" cue (unheard in the film) is addictive. If I ever have a prizefighting bout, that's gonna be my entrance music.
