Probably the last. God bless the internet.

Can't you people wait?

according to one person who has seen the film John Debney is credited on the end titles for additional music.

In addition there are unconfirmed RUMORS (Take these with a gain of salt) that Christopher Young did some additional music (No surprise since the film was temped in some sections with HELLBOUND-HELLRAISER 2 according to one editor who worked on the film), Steve Bartak did some stuff as well and even Joseph LoDuca was called in for a cue or two.

Cool! LoDuca! Hey, why isn't he scoring big time movies like Spider-Man instead of that crappy He-Man remake and additional music?

Its got everything you can expect from Elfman and carries on with all the style from the first score.

This time around, the action cues are even more crazy.

And what about the theme for Doc Ock? Fits and is great.

Best regards,

FYI, Christopher Young indeed composed two cues for the film.

On their syndicated show this weekend Ebert was blunt--it's the best superhero movie he has ever seen. Up there with Superman (1978). Superior to the first Spider-Man, and better than any Batman film.

Roeper had raves for it too, even though he thought Dr. Octopus wasn't quite as scary as the Green Goblin from the first film.

Both praised the balance between action scenes and character interplay. The relationship between Mary Jane and Peter evokes emotions that you don't normally expect from a movie of this type, one said.

They praised the action sequences ("mind-blowing," according to one). Ebert said that this time the CGI Spidey and live-action Spidey combined better than before.

Wow.

Here's a mini-review of the score tracks (come on, that's all we're interested in...)

SPIDEY SUITE (4:00)
A neat albeit short re-cap of main themes from the original movie from what I can tell. Good stuff.

DOC OCK SUITE (3:54)
Too short to hear any major themes but it's very cool. Would really like to hear more...

Sorry Steve, I don't mean to single you out, but how is it that Danny Elfman writes these invisible themes for the Spiderman movies? And by invisible, I mean thematic material that a lot of people can't seem to recognize- but it's right there, screaming at you. The Doc Ock suite contains the Doc Ock theme over and over again. There's actually 2 themes. One is a short 8 note, straight quarters and eighths mechanical motive... it's perfect for the character. Then there's a lyrical theme that reminds me a lot of his Penquin theme from Batman Returns. The Doc Ock theme appears a lot in the Spidey Suite too.

Sorry Tim, I think you got the wrong end of the stick. I meant that I thought the cues were too short for the themes to develop in such a small amount of time. There are themes, but we need to hear more! Hopefully now we will!
