This score is growing on me. Love the little WOLF MAN nods in “Slappy”, and Elfman is at his most Williams-y in “Mantis Chase”!

I watched AGE OF ULTRON this weekend. Maybe I’m getting old, but can anyone explain to me what was happening in this film? HAHA.
The score as heard in the film is a total disappointment. I recently downgraded my surround system to a soundbar for space and I could barely hear the music in any of the major actions sequences… What a mess.
+1 for Apple Music. Listening now.
I’ve got the CD on pre-order, but I don’t think it ships until the end of August.
I watched the DC some months ago. I hadn’t seen the film since buying the new release DVD in 2004, so we’re talking a decade-long absence.
The DC does take considerably longer to get moving, but doesn’t really solve issues with the theatrical release. I always assumed something was missing when we cut to Dekker staggering through traffic on a highway — the transition from the previous scene always seemed clunky. Sure enough the DC cut unfolds almost the same way.
The reuse of music is troubling as well, as is a missed opportunity. I suppose it was a budgetary decision not to go back and locate the original stems of the score, giving the filmmakers the opportunity to peel back orchestral layers to give them more to work with.
Considering the financial failure of the pic and it’s overall just being a “fine” movie, the DC is more than anyone could ask for.
Got my copy of the CD today and I’m having a hell of a time ripping it in iTunes. Lots of digital skips and snags. Bummer.
89-93 is my favourite Elfman period, but I also like a lot of 94-98. I have no problem following the changes in his musical voice. I even rank modern stuff like OZ and DARK SHADOWS among my favourites. And I make no apologies in wanting big, fantasy scores one after another!
