It was a tad more inappropriate at times, however.
I liked Horner's score. I don't think I'd call it more subtle and nuanced than Elfman's work though. I think Elfman's took a way more subtle approach, whereas both Webb and Horner were very deliberate about giving Spidey that very overt, hummable superhero theme.
My issue with it is that theme kind of feels a bit forced into the movie, mostly because I don't think Spider-Man really earns that uber heroic theme by the film's end.
I think it's an interesting contrast though, to have a more modern reboot but with a more retro sounding heroic theme.
Overall, still prefer Elfman. But I'm excited for what Horner will bring to the sequel.
