I guess I’m the only one who liked the movie. As for the music…Young’s symbiote/black suit theme was pretty good. But, Elfman would have done better.
Yeah, I heard it opened May 1st in many countries. Well I’ll be watching the film at midnight on May 3rd (may 4th to be exact) so I guess we’ll discuss the film and music then.
Nice to see others who like it. I know people who dislike it. Heck, even the guy who writes reviews for this site wasn’t too crazy about the score.

The first I hear of Shirley conducting Pee-Wee. HOWEVER, there was some other guy conducted Pee-Wee that apparently wasn’t getting along with Danny and Steve. I remember reading about that in a Steve Bartek interview.

How many orchestrators did he have in Meet the Robinsons? Cause in Batman he only had one and that was Steve Bartek. Its true that Shirley Walker did some additional orchestration but it was mostly Steve. The same applies to Nightmare!
But, anyway, I was just wondering…that is all. Danny’s music is STILL GREAT but you can’t deny it was better back in the day. As great as Spidey is it doesn’t top Batman. As great as Corpse Bride was it doesn’t top Nightmare. As great as Charlotte’s Web was it doesn’t top Black Beauty.
Remember in 1990 when Elfman composed FOUR movies? Edward Scissorhands, Darkman, Nightbreed, and Dick Tracy! So, I don’t think time has anything to do with it!
You’re watching Spider-Man 1 on TBS right now, huh? lol. Yeah, costume montage is like my favorite track in the soundtrack.
Some of the comments have been kinda confusing. You are aware that all I did was add some Elfman’s music to some of the IGN clips. Here’s the link to the clips with what Young composed: http://iesb.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2319&Itemid=99
Well, anyway, I tried adding some Elfman to the Peter vs. Harry fight and it was VERY difficult but check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfYKCCTE_C4
and let me know what you think.
