how is it out of place? elfmans spidey theme fits exactly who spider-man is. it's not everyday you get a great composer like elfman. young is good, he's a talented composer but I think he's not the exact guy to do part of the score for spidey. elfmans train sequence theme I liked better because it had more intesity and fit the action that was going on in the train sequence. same for the reest of the music he did in the spidey movies. I mean elfman has been my favorite composer for a long time, he fit that music into a scene that it works best in. take the peter and mj scenes for example, he puts a romantic song that fits with peter and mj's love. if theres a suspensful scene then he will do a song and make it become loud as soon as it pops up and you jump. if elfman was a bad composer than why did directors have him do the score? they do it for a specific reason and I think it's because of how great his music is. chris young will do good though, I have alot of faith in him and I think he will do a very good job.You know I will.
That's funny, because I thought damn-near the entire original Spider-Man score was out of place. To the point where I didn't know whether I was watching Beetle-Juice or Batman, both actually, being they sound the same. A so-so score would be Elfman's work on Spider-Man, that usually never enhance a scene, but makes you wonder was the composer blind, and just didn't see what was being shown on the screen.
Danny Elfman's train sequence was horrible, it's no wonder it didn't make the final cut, it was just more regurgitated Elfman music, as usual, that's all over the place and not focused on what's on the screen. And it was Sam Raimi's idea to put the Hell Raiser's cue in there, not Young's.
And even when Elfman was scoring the Hulk, can you imagine a director telling you, "I don't want to hear YOUR STYLE of music." As to say, it isn't good enough and I'm damn angry that the studio chose you as the composer. Why, because Ang Lee knew he going to get the same regurgitated sh:t that Elfman always delivers.
