Author	Topic: Hulk And Ironman

Quill Standard Userer	Well, if anyone cares at this point, I have listening to Hulk consistently for the past week or so. It grows on me with every listen. I am going to go on a limb here and say that it is my favorite action hero score release of the past few years (yes...better that Batman Begins.) My significant enjoyment of the film could factor in, but the action cues are solid and the emotional elements grabs more firmly than Batman, The Last Stand...any of them. Folks out there should give Mr. Armstrong and this score serious consideration (regardless of whether or not it is recorded on CDR.)

nuts_score Standard Userer	I care . . .

Swashbuckler Standard Userer	I've been enjoying The Incredible Hulk immensely myself. It is a very emotionally charged score which engages me all the way through. The Culver University transformation sequence "They're Here" → "Give Him Everything You've Got") is a good example of how the action music may get loud and intense, but is never just noisy. I really like the love theme, with its homage to "The Lonely Man" theme, and I think that it plays well in its complete form, as the contours of the film keep any of the score's modes from overstaying their welcome.

nuts_score Standard Userer	I'll be honest, I haven't heard the score outside of the film, and what I can remember of the score in the film was very suitable, but I'm still pondering a purchase. On one hand, I'm just too big of an Elfman-Hulk-score fan to accept Armstrong's stuff, but I really did dig those main titles and the music during them. It was the only piece I can recall off the top of my head.

Quill Standard Userer	Nuts...I will be honest and say that I'm not sure how much the film is influencing this opinion, but I find Armstrong's Hulk far superior. I rarely listened to Elfman's score...it meshed poorly with the movie and was hardly worthy of my time in an independent listen. I can sit through both Hulk discs repeatedly and it just gets better. I would give it a shot.

Quill Standard Userer	Enjoy. One of my favorite tracks is not even in the film...first track on the 2CD set - The Arctic.

AaronR1074 Standard Userer	I need to respond a bit to BackToTheFutureFan's comments here. The one about Lazy film making and such that Jeron has been quoting. Marvel now has their own production studio. It no longer relies on outside support for financial backing, only distribution (much like Lucas and Fox with Star Wars). It's no longer Sony Picture's "Spider Man" trilogy. It's Marvel's "Spider Man" trilogy. That being said, Marvel Studios now has the ability to do whatever they darn well please with thier comic book films, with little to no studio input. The ideas are pure marvel. The money that goes into it is probably about 90% pure marvel. That being said, the only "lazy filmmakers" here would be Marvel's. Lets hope they learn from their previous mistakes IE Elektra, Ghost Rider... and put out a good franchise of cross-over movies.

craig Standard Userer	And Daredevil...Holy SMOKES!! Don't forget Daredevil! Let's hope they learn from mistakes like that one! Maybe it's JUST ME, and if it is, so be it. I hope DD made your skies blue, those who saw it and liked it. But, to me Mark Steven Johnson (DD, Elektra, Ghost Rider) has gotta be one of the luckiest guys in Hollywood to be called a director. But...it's pro'lly just me... Saw Hulk today, too. Wasn't bad. Wanted it to be, but wasn't. Wasn't great. But, it was ok. [Message edited by craig on 07-06-2008]

nuts_score Standard Userer	MSJ didn't direct Elektra, former X-Files director Rob Bowman did. At least Bowman has Reign of Fire on his resume, and that movie sucks, but it's not THAT bad. MSJ, on the other hand, the less said the better.

craig Standard Userer	You right, my mistake.... I shoulda remembered it was Bowman...and I think what killed me most about that, he directed the X-Files movie and some episodes, such creativity...and then he makes a movie, Elektra, with blackhole-sized plot holes and...doesn't matter... Forgot about Reign of Fire. That wasn't so bad. [Message edited by craig on 07-06-2008]

Swashbuckler Standard Userer	Reign of Fire is a silly but entertaining B-movie with a great score by Edward Shearmur.

Swashbuckler Standard Userer	Actually, I never thought of that before, but you may have a point...
