The Amazing Spiderman: Amazing Addition to the franchise's music

Probably the biggest and most delightful surprise in film scoring this year (yet). The spiderman reboot/remake/reimagining,  whatever you'd want to call it will have music from legendary composer James Horner.

The music Horner gives the web slinger in this outing is simply the best of all Spidey's outings, and in fact wouldn't be out of place in the sequel for James Cameron's AVATAR.

The main theme feels like a blend of AVATAR and A Beautiful Mind (in fact the whole score gives out that vibe continuously) and pretty interesting too, it does not have the flat out heroism the Danny Elfman's theme had, more like well..prelude to big adventures in distant planets

The love theme (also Theme for Peter Parker)  has to be one of the best theme of the year and eclipses all previous quiet poignant themes in Sam Raimi's trilogy, it is just so beautiful in its simple yet harmonious construct.

After Alan Silvestri's failure in making The Avengers the superhero score of the the year, Horner's arrival with this score is such an amazing delight.

5/5
