The Amazing Spider-Man 2 The Hans Zimmer Score thread

[A Necessary Evil]

I love the piano part. and I really hope the final version of the first half will be a lot better, the horns sound way too sharp, and the "tyyyy, tyyyyy, tyyyyy, tyyyyyy, ty-ty-ty-ty-ty-ty-ty-ty- tytytyyyyyyy" was pretty cheap composing

so, Zimmer did compose for Batman originally but they mixed up the movies with "Black Rain"?

 

[A Necessary Evil]

Whut?

Black Rain came out way before BB.

 

[AF3619]

Whut?

Black Rain came out way before BB.

i mean that Black Rain came out the same year as Batman (1989) then they mixed the scores , it was a joke...

 

[A Necessary Evil]

lol oh

 

[AF3619]

lol oh

 

[GENERAL RAAM582]

Wow, that Zimmer thing is crazy. lol

Wow, that Zimmer thing is crazy. lol

lol yeah I still love his Batman theme, but it also kinda ruined it for me, in a way.

I do like Hans Zimmer (his The Prince of Egypt score is still one of my favorites to this day), but I think its pretty ridiculous when a lot of his fans say he's one of the best and most progressive movie composers living today, when in fact he's actually "borrowed" from old musical pieces (like when he "borrowed" certain parts of Holst's Mars for the Gladiator Waltz), and even himself in some cases.

Not dumping on the man completely. I'm just saying that some fans take their praise of Zimmer just a bit too far a lot of the time.

 

[A Necessary Evil]

I mean, TBF, alot of composers borrow from themselves. Williams does it alot too.

Not for me. He's 'stealing' from himself in the Black Rain instance, it's still his music.

Yeah, but I think Zimmer is a little more, shall we say, obvious than other composers, and he does it a bit more frequently. Not to mention that his musical style is prevalent in nearly everything nowadays, even in stuff he doesn't even compose himself.

I will say, though, that his compositions for animated films, especially Megamind and Kung Fu Panda, are much more varied and interesting than his live action work. Though, that may be because he has another composer working with him.

I hope that he channels his composing style for those films into this film, considering how upbeat and action-y it's supposed to be.

I still love his Batman theme & music, I play them constantly. It was just a revelation when I saw it, lol. It's like how his Sherlock Homes theme sounds like Jack Sparrow's theme, or even DVC having Lion King music in it, It's jarring, but it doesn't stop me from loving the scores.

I'll agree with that first sentence, but I can't blame Zimmer for people emulating his sound. Directors want what they want, and composers must oblige or find music elsewhere.

the SITE score sounds different from what i´ve listened from Zimmer (im yet to be proven wrong), besides Pharrell Williams and the rest of the crew i hope they give us something different and fresh

 

[AF3619]

do you think the superbowl spot will have something from the score?

 

[Airnick]

do you think the superbowl spot will have something from the score?

I sure hope so that would be great.

 

[FN Spider-man]

Shoot that would be great

 

[A Necessary Evil]

It's possible, Zimmer scores his movie trailers, I wouldn't deny it.

 

[Nicko-Ray]

Since it's sort of a worldwide showcase, I would imagine they put something commercial like dubstep, though.

 

[AnneFan]

The Amazing Zimmer-Man 2 is my most anticipated score, along with his Interstellar one.

The snippet is a very small portion of the whole thing, obviously. But the last half of it I like a lot. The first half very subtly evokes Horner's theme and I'm sure will work just fine.

The super bowl isn't that worldwide, 98% of the people that watch it are in north america. I didn't even know it was football until a few years ago, I thought it was baseball.

 

[Repulsor Blast]

bowling would make the most sense

 

[smidders]

bowling would make the most sense

Yeah it probably would, but I couldn't imagine 100 million americans watching a game of bowling.

 

[Captain Croatia]

It kinda sounds like some opening theme for the TV news. Expected something more badass, but maybe we'll get it.

I thought that this was written off as NOT being an actual Hans Zimmer piece, and only something created for the website?
