Giacchino's Spider-Man music was less Horner & Zimmer and more Elfman

Been listening to the score on Spotify. 0:22 into “Webbed Surveillance” I swear I was listening to WANTED.

Actually quite a bit of it reminds me of MEN IN BLACK and its sequel scores.

It’s a good enough score but comfortably the weakest of the six to date, for me.

Feels weird that in a year in which we’ve had superhero scores by Beltrami and Giacchino that the best one is by Tyler Bates…

Bring on Justice League.

NP: Hellboy II – this is stupidly good.

I like it. To me, it’s the best Spider-Man score after Elfman’s. It has a feel-good vibe that I enjoy. Giacchino experts seem to say that it doesn’t have much imagination compared to his recent efforts but honestly, I’d take Giacchino any day over Bates or Zimmer.

I tried listening to this, but hated it as I do 99% of all Giacchino.
