Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Easy. Man of Steel and Man of Steel, although Begins is the most appealing of that wretched trilogy (TDKR is my favourite of the scores).It's the thematic material and monochrome nature of the score for Begins that brings it down for me, and I never liked the Heroics theme (Molossus) which I remember playing significant part. Too power anthemy, Teutonic and stuffy. It's as dated as a Sony W800i. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A. A. Ron 1,742 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Film-wise, I prefer Batman Begins. Even with some of its cheesier moments, there isn't a whole lot I'd change about it. Man of Steel on the other hand is just too much, especially at the end. Honestly, I'm very interested to see how BvS will address the insane levels of destruction porn found in the first film.Score-wise, neither is a favorite of mine (especially compared to their older counterparts). I hardly ever play the whole album to either score, let alone one of their *ahem* expansions. I'd say Man of Steel gets more play time though, if only because of First Flight (Film Mix).

crocodile 8,017 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I voted Batman Begins film. No brainer there, it is actually in some ways one of the best superhero films out there and the most entertaining and enjoyable film Nolan has ever made (note that I didn't say "his best").As for the score, it's a bit more complicated. While I don't exactly love Man of Steel, it does have probably about 30-40 minutes of material that I really like. As long as Zimmer stays away from action sequences, his effort is strong. In its own way.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I've grown to even enjoy the action material of MOS which initially was a bit grating. But it has a distinctive character that you come to appreciate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 We best hope nobody ever does a poll on Brad Fidel's Terminator scores, because it's a scientific impossibility for a person to have an opinion on the merits of a film's underscore which one wouldn't normally listen to away from its movie.

KK 3,307 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Batman Begins is clearly the superior film.The scores are a bit more complicated. But like croc says, there about 30 minutes of serious ingenuity in MoS that I'd probably take over his largely dull Batman scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are Holkenborg scores ofcourse, strongly percussionistic. I would say both have strong merits in there own ways and showcase the fact that Tom Holkenborg is a rising star of film music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Quite so. It's hard to judge them both against each other as Holkenborg scores though, since there was obviously cross-pollination with Hans on the first one. But if you want to take some of the most prominent action cues from MOS as representative of his work, then I think Fury Road wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I heard both scores during their respective movies and I prefer MoS, I found it considerably more affecting than what I noticed of Mad Max's soundtrack. Sharkissimo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 The percussion writing in both scores are largely uninteresting. But MoS has some nice impressionistic moments of colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
