Man of Steel (SPOILERS)

Re: The Man of Steel

I'm as big a fan of Williams as there is here, probably the biggest.

But I feel Superman needs some fresh blood. I mean, before Elfman, no one could imagine a Batman without that 60's da-da da-da da-da duh... then it became hard to imagine a Batman without the big Elfman score. I find the Nolan scores utterly forgettable, and time will prove me right, but that's another story.

Elfman score is great. Zimmer & Newton Howard's score is even better for me.

No way.

Re: The Man of Steel

I think it would be cool to use JW just for the opening credits. Leave the rest of it alone i guess.

But whatever eff it. Not happening so don't care anymore.

Bring headphones and listen to the orignal score during the opening titles.

I want to watch 89 Batman with Nolan score and Nolan trilogy with 89 score.

How can you find music like this forgettable?

Elfman's is good, but for me this is more Epic.

Or have Zimmer put his own take on it like Ottman did with Returns.

It's not "forgettable," but it's pretty generic (eveny within the context of Zimmer's own work) and pales in comparison to Elfman's theme.

The Williams music is perfect - if that's possible.

I was watching the 'making of' JAWS the other night, & it really is remarkable how the man knows just what to compose to compliment the subject matter. Spielberg said that half the success of JAWS should be attributed to the score. Wow..

The original Star Wars score is absolutely magnificent - Lucas even said that it was the only thing about the film that went beyond his expectations!

Getting back to MOS though.. I have reservations about Russell Crowe playing Jor-El. I guess I should give him a chance..

Williams isn't my overall favourite composer but he has made, I think its fair to say, some of the best music of all time.

I actually thought that was brilliant casting.

I think the casting has been great.

The biggest question casting wise for me will be Amy Adams as Lois. She's a really good actress, just not sure yet if she's right for the role though.

She's a lot prettier and/or less trampy than previous castings though.

Re: The Man of Steel

I agree with Void in the sense that Lois is supposed to be really smart and driven/ambitious, and those characteristics should outweigh the fact that Lois is a looker, which seems to be the biggest thing that Adams brings to the table. But we'll see. Say what you will about Margot Kidder, she came off as a realistic career-oriented newswoman.

Re: The Man of Steel

Yeah, well strangely enough Erica Durance has been the best screen Lois for me by a long shot.

I wouldn't use those words but I have to agree
