Main Title Music

[Symbiote Hulk]

Who wants Danny Elfman using something similar from the previous Main Title from "The Hulk"?

I say something very similar. That song's awesome!


Dammit: Forgot add choice: New Track by Danny Elfman

 

[SpaghettiHULK]

a new version of the main theme!

 

[Golgo-13]

New version. Elfman's a hack.

 

[ArtTeacher]

Even though it came out in 1978, I could hum the "Superman theme" right now. No matter where or who you are, if you hear that music, you think of Superman. It's like the Imperial March from the Star Wars movies. When you hear that impending doom and dread of the Imperial March, you think of Darth Vader (both scores done by the amazing John Williams).

Even though I've seen them a few times, I could not hum you the music from the Spiderman movies (Danny Elfman).

When you see two mammoth green feet come crushing into the ground and the camera pans up to find a veritable mountain of muscle, I want the music to be as epic as the hero you're looking at.

So, let's call up John Williams. I mean, if you're going to go all the way and get an Ed Norton for your movie, why stop there? Get John Williams while you're at it!! I want kids humming the theme from the Hulk as they play with their action figures and have their new Hulk figure stomp a mud hole in their old Brandon Routh Barbie doll.

I actually like this theme but I've always considered the song from the desert chase for some reason. The part when he starts making huge leaps with that woman wailing in the background. I'd be fine either way though, really.

 

[co2]

I like Elfman's score and think it is one of the most interesting scores he has done....but it was designed for Ang's movie, and I think this will have a different feel so it will need a new score.

 

[odiin]

New.

I like Danny Elfman and all, but enough with him doing Super Hero scores! I get tired of hearing his style all the time, because it's very unmistakable. Plus I don't think it fits the character very well, going back to ArtTeacher's post, If I looked a picture of Superman, and started humming his movie theme, the sound and visual fits really well, but looking at the Hulk and listening to that theme... It just doesn't fit.

Whatever the theme is, I think needs to be epic and exciting with some memorable strings and big deep booming tuba, because it's a very Hulk-like instrument.

Same happens with Elfman and Batman.

I don't think there's anything wrong with Elfman in general, i think he's really good, and he did some really cool things with the first score that matched what ang was trying to say with the hulk, but whomever does the next one i think needs a more primal edgy score. I can totally see the intro with some heavy drums, some strings and a little electronic for energy. They said they wanted a fast pace action movie thriller sort, i'm thinking like the bourne identity sound with some heavy base to capture that primal rage the movie will probably focus on. No electric guitar though or at least very sparingly, that always makes it sound cheesy.

 

[Obi-Ron]

I'd like to hear the fanfare from the TV show at least once.

"DUN-DUN-DUNNNNNNNNNN-DUN!"

 

[webhead731]

I love Elfman's. Just have him back again.

 

[Sentinel X]

Elfman's theme MUST remain..its amazing and added so much to the depth of Banner in the first...and from what Im hearing, this movie will focus less on that so maybe its important to emphasize it through the music.
Also I think it was a very different score...especially coming from Elfman.

I dont get it ...Ive heard this argument before. So now people just want a score that they can hum to...thats why we need another composer?...to hum to the music?....okaaayyy

 

[Steelsheen]

new track, new artist.

Hulk's theme was the only thing i wasnt too happy with in the whole movie. too Spiderman-ish.

 

[Sentinel X]

I dont know, to me the Hulk theme sounds nothing like spider-man, seriously...they have no similarities whatsoever to me. But I can hear a similarity between the Hulk's score and Edward Scissorhands at times...Spider-man's score reminds me more of his batman score

 

[Spidey]

I really hope they keep Elfman, that guy represents the epitome of epic film scores.

really? i was about to say that Elfman should've done for the Hulk what he did for Spiderman and Batman-- sounding very different but still mainting that signature Elfman style.

 

[FinchersGhost]

The Elfman theme is beautiful. Probably his best work.

 

[Retroman]

I love it too but Marvel are obviously going in a very direction with this new Hulk movie. New cast, new crew and a different lighter story than Ang Lee's. So i don't have much hope that Danny Elfman's themes will remain intact for the 'sequel'.Especially now that Elfman has signed on to Hellboy 2.

If they do go for something new i'd love it if they used the bombastic opening theme of the 80s Hulk animated series (or something similar).

Yeah they were great.

Personally, I'd love some kind of re-working of Joe Harnell's classic theme.

Possibly one of the most famous themes ever.

[Punitore]

i noticed that nobody noticed, atleast here, that the ang lee's hulk theme, the part posted here is just the new version of the same part of the incredible hulk tv series, the live action one..

Well spotted

Is it the same as "Joe Harnell's classic theme."???

But anyway, Elfman score was even more spot on

 

[AkimBischoff]

I didn't love all of Elfman's score... but I do love that main title theme. I hope they can incorporate it one way or another....

 

[Doc Samson]

I do like the Elfman Score, but at the same time, I always did feel the similarities between it and some of the other films he's done. Besides Batman, I don't think any of his other work is that different from film to film, but I could go either way on this one...
