MSM 126 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Were I extremely positive about the music in the first trailer, the music i hear now is shamelessly generic, there is no theme whatsoever but some bland repetitive motive and driving synthesized percussion. It sounds all like Batman 2.0. Nothing original. Disappointing. Let's hope it's not part of the score but actually from a stock of trailer music.

gkgyver 1,646 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I'm sorry Quint if I have to do some more "random trolling", but this looks just dreary.This looks miles apart from the Superman I would like to see. "Good natured" and "fun"? Eh, no, I don't see it.And yes, sorry, the music is atrocious. There is no difference between this or any other random RC trailer music, the difference is merely that this was actually written for the film, which makes it even worse.Zimmer's music used to be simplistic and tedious, but at least fun in the early 2000s. The fun is gone, and all that's left is the simplicity, paired with eye-rolling melodrama that is amped up even more by the apparent lack of skill, or will, to achieve it with means other than stupifying drum patterns and brass farts in D minor.

But some of his own aportations and placements were cool.I don't recall a single cue or note in the whole movie, and I love the movie. I guess that means the music worked well enough. Snyder hasn't yet had the experience with a truly masterful composer, so he probably just accepted what he heard from Zimmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Good natured" and "fun"? Eh, no, I don't see it.You had the same neurotic reaction to SKYFALL. It's just another movie come and gone.It's a huckster trick either way - fun or solemn, it's only designed to cram as many overlong action sequences as possible into its bloated running time.

Ollie 1,059 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I guess they are trying to appeal to everyone because I'll see a somewhat thoughtful preview for this film on TV one day that will interest me and then I'll see one, like this morning, that looks dumb and brings my misgivings about this film to light.

A24 4,355 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Spoiler-free review: http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/DarkKnightNews/news/?a=81311 And IGN calls it the best Snyder movie to date. Read the review: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/06/11/man-of-steel-review And William Bibbiani calls it: "Awe-inspiring and, by far, the best Superman movie ever made, Man of Steel may not present a new standard for epic filmmaking. But it certainly evokes a grandeur rarely attempted on the big screen anymore, and achieves on a level greater than most other cinematic epics. It’s the Superman we wanted, the Superman we need, and – thankfully – the Superman we actually got this time." http://www.craveonline.com/film/reviews/516491-review-man-of-steel-2 Drew McWeeny sums up the essence of Snyder (IMO): "Emotional, beautiful, and filled with brutal battles, this is a winner top to bottom." http://www.hitfix.com/motion-captured/review-zack-snyders-man-of-steel-delivers-a-whole-new-level-of-superhero-thrills/2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,643 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Well, i've warned you. It's a soulless and mechanical movie without much charm but plenty of frantic cutting, overloud effects and overlong action sequences, plastered with a score that is as relentlessly loud. Some of the actors are good enough, but they there's only so much they can do.This isn't a movie that desperately wanted to be to be made - just a blockbuster cash-in on WB's only remaining comic property.
