Amazing spider man 2 soundtrack movie#
Track two There He Is then plays the mysterious, fast-paced actiony electronics from the actual beginning of the movie (are you starting to see why I mentioned sub-par album presentation earlier?), adding an edge of the ominous to the already rather…different score so far. The music literally feels electric, which naturally I feel works well with the aforementioned supervillain. Much like with Spider-Man’s this also feels very character representative with loud, in-your-face and very imposing dubstep-esque electronics taking the stylistic forefront. Speaking of themes, track one introduces the motif for the villain of the movie Electro (hence its title I’m Electro). Sadly the track is just over a minute long which doesn’t give a lot of time for thematic development – but again, more on that later. As I mentioned earlier I was pleasantly surprised with this motif unlike many of Zimmer’s thematic creations it’s highly note-based and very memorable, not to mention rather fitting of Spider-Man as a character with a happy musical mixture of cheery and heroic. Intriguingly (and rather bizarrely) the cue opens with police sirens before light, upbeat electronics arrive to introduce the theme for the titular web-slinger. It’s track three on the album, entitled I’m Spider-Man. It wasn’t so much what was on Zimmer’s score album that was the issue, it’s what wasn’t – but more on that later.įirst off, let’s look at the main theme. Much like Horner he had also crafted an excellent main theme and several stellar action setpieces, but unfortunately there was a problem. Surprisingly though (for me), I actually really enjoyed Hans Zimmer’s work for the film.
James Horner is one of my favourite composers, and I was so excited to hear how he would develop his themes and stylistic ideas for the Spider-Man sequel, but alas it was not to be. With that being said, you can probably imagine my disappointment when it was announced that Hans Zimmer would be taking scoring duties for the sequel movie. The main theme is amazing, the action cues are spectacular and the love theme is simply sublime. I absolutely adore James Horner’s score for The Amazing Spider-Man. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is an absolutely spectacular score tragically let down by its astoundingly sub-par album presentation.
