From a storytelling point of view, from a directing point of view, there is one thing I associate with what he does, which is calm. There is such an inherent calm and inherent trust of the one powerful image, that he makes me embarrassed with my own work, in terms of how many different shots, how many different sound effects, how many different things we’ll throw at an audience to make an impression. But with Kubrick, there is such a great trust of the one correct image to calmly explain something to audience. There can be some slowness to the editing. There’s nothing frenetic about it. It’s very simple. There’s a trust in simple storytelling and simple image making that actually takes massive confidence to try and emulate.

Hopefully Horner comes up with something mostly original and great. I take it that Webb hasn't heard that many Horner scores to be that impressed though.

Horner, even if somewhat derivative is still one hell of a film composer.

I'm not bashing Horner. Horner is simply hit or miss for me. A lot of misses. When it comes to his scores i really have to think to myself if it's worthy of a purchase. I only own a few scores from him that I can count on one hand.

I love listening to Horner's music, but I have very little respect for him as a person and as a composer. Sure, it's understandable for a composer to plagiarize a bit when under pressure to produce quick results. But by this point Horner knows that he's going to have trouble coming up with an original danger theme in the future - why doesn't he take a year off from film scoring and come up with a generic but original Danger Motif? And while he's at it, a generic but original motif for all the other melodies he regularly steals? There's no reason he needs to be copying the same melodies from the same composers over and over again. It's dishonest and it's artistically lazy.

It's not even about artistic integrity as much as it is about fairness. If I were Sergei Rachmaninoff and I poured months and months of effort into writing a symphony, I would not be okay with somebody else getting credit for it.Hahahahahahaha!
Elitist twaddle. You are hilarious man.
Yeah, his scores, even the plagiarized bits, are original enough for me to really enjoy listening to most of them. But from a moral standpoint the guy's a jerk. From an artistic one, he's lazy.Horner can't be that bad. I mean, the guy composed Rocketeer and The Launch from Apollo 13.
Of course, not being very knowledgable of the world of concert music, even those seemingly original themes and cues could be plagiarized from something I've never heard.

Well, I feel like it looks really long because the trailer showed a lot of scenes and a lot of plot points, which I feel like will take a long time to cover
I thought it would be shorter than the older movies because... I dunno why. Just a random thought I had. Like they'd be going for more simply and comic-booky and less epic-y

There will be a "Spot A Danger Motif" contest to be held at the premiere of The Amazing Spider-man. Contest rules will be subject to changes. Please wait for further instructions.
If you put John Williams in a dryer, you get Jerry Goldsmith! You get the downside version!

Actually, I've never made any comments to the effect of stating that every JW score before Jaws, specifically the jazzy stuff from the 1960s, isn't worth getting.
Can you say the same with absolute clarity?
Either way, your sense of humor must have been made in Canada because it's broken.

I'm really looking forward to Horner's score and personally, I think it'll be the best superhero score we've had in the last few years. The comic book superhero genre has had some very disappointing scores...
As for the film, I hate it even more with this new trailer. This whole "I need to know about my parents" scenario is such an overdone, tired concept and I can't believe they're bringing that over to this film! And That trailer gets a huge "meh" from me too. To go on, this kid looks nothing Spiderman and doesn't seem to ever convince me that he's Spiderman either. Toby Mcguire was the perfect Spiderman and those films ranged from solid to great....they should have left it with that.
I will watch this money-grubbing, spin-off piece of trash for the sake of the score, but I have VERY low expectations...

I thought Mcguire was great as Spiderman. And yes, the 3rd film kind of screwed the pooch, but I liked the original trilogy. And I still stand by the fact that they haven't really made Andrew Garfield appear to be a good Spiderman in these trailers...

I have to say, while the story doesn't sound interesting or anything, I like the look of the film. The colours, the lightning... Well, I know I'm saying that based on 3 2-minutes trailers, but still...
But, oh, why, god, why didn't they give the Lizard a snout?? He looks like shit without it! Give him a snout, and he would look badass!
