Smith's score for the 50s Disney movie is still one of my favorites ever. I would love it if whoever scores Singer's included some references to at least his theme for Captain Nemo.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Egg on my face! I googled around and you are correct. For some reason I thought Ottman's great main theme for X2 was Kamen's from the original. This is probably because I haven't actually seen the original in over 10 years. While I was indeed thinking of X2 can I retroactively act like I was thinking of Superman Returns the whole time to save face? He definitely re-used Williams' original there! :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've already completely mishandled and ruined a story that functions in large part on its sense of intimacy, that is, by basically only involving four characters. And isn't the adventure interesting enough? Scifi plot twists my ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
