While it does irritate my friends, I seem to enjoy it profusely. Just phenomenal.

Love this, especially the dark string chords at 1:17.  I'm like obsessed with that sound. 

Koray isnt completely wrong in one respect. A lot of times scores made by these Remote Control guys sounds just fine in the film. In that they adequately support whatever scene they were written for.
 
However I do maintain that worthwhile film music should do more than that, and I can't blame others who think likewise.

Can't believe Lorne said that. It should be both!  

I'm not a big fan of Screenslaver's theme.  Maybe it's because I loved Syndrome's theme too much! 
 
Compared to the original, this one feels more like a superhero score rather than a spy score. Which probably makes sense considering this didn't really have much genre mixing. 
 
Also I hate how Giacchino just uses repeated chords at the end of Looks like I picked the Wrong Week to Quit Oxygen.  It feels super amateurish!  Hes done that in Jurassic World and Rogue One I think and its always so jarring to me.  

I kinda liked the score and went in blind (didn't listen to the suite or any music before the watching).  The use of the original 60's theme in the logo gave me hope but hearing MGs real theme for Spiderman was okay. It did remind me of tintin.  
 
However all I could hum at the end was Vulture's theme. Anyone else draw parallels to the Bond motif from Casino Royale, at least to the first half of the Vulture theme?  It's all I can think about. 

It's been years since I've posted, but I gotta say I'm not the biggest fan of the score.  My main complaint is the Imperial/Krennic theme.  It's super close to his theme for InGen in JW, which doesn't do it for me as Bad Guy themes.  Something more akin to General Grievous's theme or even that motif in Enter Lord Vader is much more menacing and militaristic (without having to be the Imperial march) would be better.  Hell, he should've developed the short Imperial Motif from ANH for Krennic and it would've been better.  His theme for RO seems too try hard and generic bad guy without any true menace.  

I also like how Zimmer said that he didn't want people to misjudge his "Ideal of Hope" track, because its an edited version of "What Are you going to do when you're not saving the world". It's the same thing. Exactly.

Anyone else here a fan of his action/chase music?
I love the musical complexity.
So I'm trying to expand my John Williams library, so does anyone have any awesome selections of Williams Action cues?
