Spectacular SPIDER-MAN Score! This is one potent,powerful and memorable Motion Picture Score that enhances the quality of this film. When I first saw the "Spider-Man" film, not only was I in awe of the impressive visuals that were appearing before me,but also as much with the spectacular score that the genius Danny Elfman had composed. From the very first notes of the "Main Title",I knew this score was going to be something special - and it is! It has so much going for it. The "Main Title" and other compositions throughout the score make great use of the choir,whether it be for fast paced action sequences or personal,emotional scenes that occur every so often. The track "Costume Montage" also is a beautiful combination of score and guitar,and the two compliment each other well. It being one of my favourite tracks on the album. The track "Revenge",this is another pure delight from the score. It firstly commences in great style with orchestra,then as the pace and emotion gradually picks up, the forces of orchestra, choir and synthesizer combine,to produce another memorable piece. If I were asked to mention a few of my favourite tracks from this admirable score they would have to be the following - the "Main Title","Costume Montage","Revenge","Revelation" and "Final Confrontation". This score would have to be one of the best that Danny Elfman has composed thus far in his long and illustrious career. A bold statement, but a true one nonetheless - to my way of thinking anyway!. Awesome It is rich, percussive, choral, brassy, and huge. All though not as brilliant as the earlier Burton scores, Elfman strikes again with this amazing score. One of the best scores in the last several years. Spider-Man 1 And 2 Score Have you all notice something different in the (score). This May Get to you all. I will tell you the bit where Peter Parker climbs the wall, Also when he looks into the mirrer, when he misses the bus and starts running for it. Shore there is a bit of the music after the bus but all you fans need that little bit extra. Now I Am a Spider-Man Fan big time and some fans know what that little extra needs. With Spider-Man 2 what about Train & Appreciation that was not used in the movie. I don't care if the counduct the same thing over it's not Elfman wants its what the customer wants also the fans. The missing bits in Spider-Man 2 Score was when his bike got run over and he races after the bad guys or what about the extra bit on The Bank/Saving AuntMay where Doc Ock gets shot out to the car and Web Slinger Runs for him that little bit. Hey its a exellant Cd but when i was reading a kid story this is what I was reading. Maked a disc 2 Edition now with all the stuff on the Cd. where with you mate. Spider Man 1 and 2 The extra music like when Peter Parker climbs the wall i thought that Danny Elfman put that in the Scores also plus the TRain And Appreciation they Conduted differently think the Train And Appreciation should be change immediatley becuase it's not used in the movie. I think that all scores are good and i just want to say something to you all the (score) are missing somthing. If I where Danny Elfman i would of made 2 CD's and the whole lot of on the Cd. The Scores now Are great but its just not complete with the left over music he made. This is Bradley And I Live in OLD AUS Reporting my juggment on this Score it is great but make another Cd with all the stuff on it Please. Ps. I think Venom Goes Well In Spider-Man 3 and the other Villan The Green Goblin. With a sweeping score Elfman's Spider-Man Soares! Spider-Man is the premier Marvel hero, and Elfman gives him the perfect score. Returning to the super-hero genre with a vengeance is Danny Elfman. Starting quietly, Elfman builds up a crescendo that captures the feeling of Marvel's webhead swinging through the city. Throwing in a rough theme for the Green Goblin and an enjoyable love theme, Elfman creates 45 minutes of enjoyable listening. I have to say that without his music for the Goblin, the movie would have been slightly ridiculous. Overall, Spider-Man is a truly enjoyable score.
