Audio Interview with Ramin Djawadi.
http://www.filmmusicmag.com/?p=1139
http://www.ifmagazine.com/feature.asp?article=2769
From reading/listening to both interview, it seems like final sound of the score wasn't just something that came independent of the Jon Favreau's input. If Ramin wrote an orchestral theme/cue for the character, and Jon wanted a heavy metal approach, then can you really blame Ramin for giving the director what he wanted?
Anyway, the interview is one of the more lively composer interview I've heard lately. Nice job, Daniel. -

Point is, if it was bad for the movie, they would have replace it.
IMO, I haven't heard any good heavy metal score, though I wouldn't care very much either way as long as it works for the movie it was written for. -

Nice interview. Very interesting. And Djawadi seems a nice guy.

Sure, Iron Man won´t be in 2008´s top ten, I think we all agree here.
But we´re talking about a 33 year old guy (damn, he is only 3 years older than me!). He has just started his solo career ("Beat the Drum" was a good score, even "Mr. Brooks", besides his additional writing in many scores by Badelt and Zimmer). We tend to judge this new generation as if they HAVE to be GREAT since day one. Give ´em time, and we´ll see.Anything with an orchestra or with a choir....at some point will reach you -

Marselus, I do agree that it would be very unfair to judge the composer and write him off based on his first major score. But on the other hand, just because it's his first major score doesn't mean we shouldn't say it's hideous beyond all belief, if that's what we think. And I do. -

Sure, and as I´ve said, Iron Man won´t be in our fav list at the end of the year. But I don´t know, sometimes we (I´m included too) tend to be too harsh regarding this new generation of composers, specially if they are MV/RC related composers. I mean, if somebody, in 1990 (Days of Thunder....) had told me that the same guy would do The Thin Red Line or Gladiator or The Da Vinci Code I´d probably had sent him to a mental hospital. Perspective (and time) are the key

Yes... but Days of Thunder sounds just as crap now as it did then!
(I did like Beat the Drum, by the way. So hopefully I can't be accused of disliking people just because of their name or where they work.) -

It wasn´t a direct accusation of course . I was talking in general (and including myself) and the truth be told, "Beat the Drum" reviews and comments were pretty positive.Anything with an orchestra or with a choir....at some point will reach you -

I wouldn't call Tokyo Drift heavy metal. Hard rock, yes, but not metal. It's not nearly as harsh as say BHD or rock parts of Scorpion King.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

Those aren't heavy metal scores. They're, more or less, heavy grunge rock score. I define heavy metal by the standard of Metallica's S&M album. -

I;d say portions of Scorpion King and Kull definately have the right elements of heavy metal. BTW, heavy grunge rock is also heavy metal.... actually, it's all rock and roll.

I actually listened to Iron Man after all the negative comments (I needed my own opinion).
Add me to the band wagon. This score is awful. It's just meaningless rock and guitar riffs.

Another movie from that guy (he's Belgian )
Fly me to the Moon is the first real 3D movie btw. Especially made for 3D cinemas, not unlike Beowulf, which is a generic movie but then processed afterwards for 3D projecters.Kazoo -

I saw Iron Man last weekend. Good movie, good supporting score. The score was seamless, weaving in and out of the visual almost effortlessly. The whole approach is similar in feel to Batman Begins, and I think they were very successful in hitting all the highlights. generic-background music. The score sounds lacking on album, but I think it was a smidge better than Steve Jablonsky's Transformers score (don't know why I thought of Transformers though). -

SOUNDTRACK.NET interview with RAMIN DJAWADI:
http://web1.soundtrack.net/features/article/?id=253
"Composer Ramin Djawadi gained recognition for his Emmy-nominated work on the hit FOX TV show "Prison Break" as well as his work writing additional music for composer Hans Zimmer on such films as Thunderbirds and Batman Begins. Most recently he scored the hit superhero film Iron Man for director Jon Favreau, and SoundtrackNet had an opportunity to talk with his burgeoning talent."Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.
