The Amazing Spider-Man James Horner's Score in action

Thank you.

You get it, you understand how the music will support the film and don't have these misconceptions ('too Disney like' or 'too much like Twilight') about it.

Nice edit. :)
 
That calmed some of my worries, but that first song you played is still absolutely abysmal. It's sounds so...gross. I cannot get past that song. Ugh...
 
You seem as though you don't watch any movies that don't involve loud action music then, because there's music in that style in many movies.
 
the 26th needs to get here quicker. :(

Fanboy moment complete.

No, I do. Doesn't mean I want it for Spider-Man. It's all a bunch of chirpy horns and snapping fingers. It doesn't sound good and it sounds even worse for a Spider-Man movie.

Does movie game scores at all close to the movie score or are they entirely different scores. I know it is done by a different composer, but I am not sure if they work with the movie composer at all. Just curious because I like the game samples.

The game composers usually try to make it sound similar to the movie's score.

EDIT: I just listened to the game score sampler and I have to say, I prefer the Horner sample. That game score sounds pretty generic to me (and it doesn't sound to me like the composer tried to make it sound similar to Horner's after all). At least the Horner score has its own unique flavor.

That depends entirely on what kind of Spider-Man movie you're looking for.

That music is clearly for more comedic moments, so if it sounds "worse for a Spider-Man movie" then maybe the Spider-Man movie you want is humorless?

Seriously, I don't get it because the movie hasn't even come out yet so neither you or I know what the film will contain. I just seem to be more open-minded about it because I'm not saying something doesn't belong when I haven't seen the film so it makes no sense to say that anyway. Won't know until it actually comes out.

I don't know about this movie, but I do know that for the "Avatar" game, James Horner did meet and consult with the video game composer Chance Thomas, because Thomas was basing his music around Horner's film score.
 
Sounds absolutely great, very diverse, very different from what he usually does.
 
Some of it I'm a bit meh about but some of I loved from the first listen. Hopefully it'll work great in the movie.
 
I'm not digging most of the score at all. To be honest some of that music (the first song and the song at 2:08) sounds like it would be ideal for a Home Alone movie rather than a Spider-man film :funny:. I cringed at the "small knives" scene being paired with that godawful music. I imagine that kind of music will be played when he's building he's discovering his powers or building his web-shooters and screwing up where some comedy relief will be involved. 2:25 - 2:42 made me smirk. Sounds very melodramatic and soap-operish and the clips that went with it made me stifle a laugh. 2:43 haven't decided yet. It sounds like theme music for a cheap sci-fi TV show to me but maybe it could work somewhere in the film. I don't see it working for a swinging sequence though lol.

The parts I liked...

1:02 - 1:26 is good.
1:27 - 2:06 is also nice but doesn't fit the bridge scene at all. It would probably go much better with fast-paced clips and will most likely be used in a fight scene against The Lizard.
 
In other words, music written by a person instead of by a computer.

I know, I know, everyone loves that music written by computers. It's the "in" thing for movies now.
 
I'm sure it will work with whatever scene it's with in the film. There's still about 2 hrs of unseen footage that the score could go with.
 
Honestly I have to say I'm somewhat reminded of Atlantis the Lost Empire (which is a favourite of mine) and some older movies.
With all the music for the trailers it's been dub-steppy, Glitch Mob and and very modern, epic type music, so it's kind of a shock to hear all this light, comedic music. But I'm sure it will fit well in the context of the film.

I also have to say I love the sad sounding music starting at .37 seconds.
 
hmm... I know it's out of context but right now some of it sounds kinda cheesy
 
I like the score. I think when people hear it in action they'll love it.

That's the first I've heard of the score and I liked it. It's not Elfman's score, nor should it be.

I'm not sure if there is any great recognizable Spidey or Peter theme from it and it probably won't click until the final film is out if there is, but for an overall tone it felt very Spidey. So in that sense, it worked.
 
It sounded really bad. Horner is a hack nowadays.
