  1. This year, as in all others, we have had good orchestral scores by Doyle, Desplat, Young, Giacchino, Williams ... But I do not know, I can not see the tide turning. What I see is that people are thrilled with Giacchino's hiring for the Marvel films and the hiring of Elfman, and probably Giacchino in "The Batman", for DC movies. As the biggest blockbusters tend to serve as a reference for many smaller movies a lot of people see this as a turning point.

     

    Conclusion: At the end of the day people are excited about Giacchino. They see him as the composer of the next decade.

  2. What is the best song released along with a soundtrack of a DC movie and why is it "Kiss From A Rose"? 

    I listened to a part in a Russian social network and the best of the score is the action material. 

    There is a track on which I almost imagined it would be a reference of Elfman to his Spider Man or Hulk*.

  3. I believe they will use the iconic theme for "inspiring" moments or key scenes of interaction between Superman and the population in which these people's devotion to the character is clear, and the actual theme will be reserved for action scenes, scenes together with the League and romantic moments with Lois Lane.

    Well I was about to type that Giacchino didn't have anything to do with them (because that's what online sources seem to indicate). But just now I was listening to "Duete a Traves del Tiempo" and I could have sworn I recognized a melody from the score. So I'm not sure now. Maybe there was collaboration on at least some of them?

     

    La Bikina, Besame Mucho, Llorona and Un Mundo Raro are popular mexican songs.

  5. I've been so disconnected from everything that I did not even know that they had already released this one! 

     

    EDIT:

     

    Excellent score! It's not as good as the work Horner did for other movies with Mexican ambiance, but it's more a proof of Giacchino's creativity and adaptability.

     

    My favorite moments are the most festive ones like "Fiesta with De la Cruz", "Reunión Familiar de Rivera", "Will He Shoemaker" ("La Bikina", "La Llorona", "El mundo es mí família") ...  Those in which music tries to show itself in a more traditional cultural way.

     

    The songs are fun,  but nothing compares to the ones we heard in Moana.

     

    The flutes remembers Horner the whole time, the same with the danger motif in "Blessin and a Fessing" and "The Show Must Go On".

     

    "The Whom The Bell Tolls" shouts "The Vulture's Theme".

  6. Along with this official casting announcement, Disney revealed that The Lion King remake is bringing back Hans Zimmer to score the feature. Like its animated predecessor, this new Lion King will be a musical, and like with Beauty and the Beast earlier this year, you can count on some new songs being thrown in with the classic tunes. The Lion King will also follow in Beauty and the Beast's footsteps by being a relatively straightforward adaptation of the original Lion King, as opposed to a drastically different re-telling akin to Maleficent.

  7. They are dropping the realistic and serious approach of Nolan and Snyder (successful in 2008, but currently an failure) and embracing the characterization of the animated television series. So it's not a bad idea to bring the theme of '89 or even Williams' back.
    Well, and the motif written for Batman in BvS was one of the worst things about the score. Even with the good arrangements of the material for the scenes with sad Bruce Wayne, we are not missing much.

    And in the past Zimmer has also ruled out Elfman's theme in an interview when he says it's "too happy" for Nolan's movies.
