Listening to Tyler's new Iron Man 3 theme, it's like a breath of fresh air in the superhero canon of recent "themes". I'm in agreement with Erik here: having a theme that actually goes somewhere, has an actual melodic line, it can be used in a variety of different ways in the score itself. It can be cut up, flipped, reversed in a variety of different ways (if that's what's required).
Tyler's orchestration for the theme reminds me a lot of the NFL Film scores from the likes of David Robidoux: adrenaline-fuelled, propulsive and a strong hint of patriotism. Attributes which I think that Tyler would have wanted for Iron Man's theme?
First listen here. Very energetic and it's a lot more listenable than some of his other action scores. Very cool!
He's evidently maturing as a composer. The short time-off after a couple of years when he'd score everything that was shot around him and had a big budget and finally wore him off, seems to have paid off for the better!Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

On my alphabetically-ordered Horner top five, they are in positions one and two.
What nonsense you speak sir, hast though so soon forgotten the mightiness of KRULL which, as I remember astutely took up places 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 in your list of top 5 Horner scores.
How right you are. -

Brian Tyler - Iron Man 3
A lot of pure fun with some emotional depth rarely heard from Brian Tyler. This time the emotional music goes further than just strumming on a guitar with delicate strings involved as he usually tended to do. The action music is more structured than usual too.
The theme is a corker, probably the best theme Brian Tyler ever wrote, though I am torn between this and Far Cry 3 (Further is the closest thing Tyler ever came to a masterpiece if it's not one!). There is a bigger sense of orchestral arrangement in the action music, though a bit sadly maybe missing a bit of the section interplay that was prevalent in Expendables 2. Still, it's exciting, even if a bit heavy-handed, which is understandable, knowing that, I believe, a superhero score need a bit of a heavier hand to handle all the epic character, especially that Iron Man while being very quirky and more like a celebrity (which very much leads to the heavy metal sound used by the previous composers, which I believe was very appropriate for the characer) has a depth and darkness that fits the modern cinema. He isn't exactly the type of campy superhero you could imagine even with Batman (like the Adam West series and its theme). Tyler probably doesn't gloss over the character depth (though I have to wait a few weeks until the movie comes out).
The last track is just plain hilarious fun. Great stuff. And yes, I can dig it.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

NP: The Diary of Anne Frank - Alfred Newman
My first listen to this score - and it's another great Newman score.
Taking advantage of the different copyright laws here in Europe (I am assuming that this is the reason) to bring together as much of the music available on iTunes to put together a 45-minute listen: the Red Bitch Music label has recently released a 38-minute album and also grabbing 3 tracks from an old release from Classic Soundtracks Records adds another 7 minutes (mostly versions of the main theme I think).
With the various versions of these copyright laws around the world, you win some (The Diary of Anne Frank) and you lose some (the recent extra Jurassic Park tracks).The views expressed in this post are entirely my own and do not reflect the opinions of maintitles.net, or for that matter, anyone else. http://www.racksandtags.com/falkirkbairn -

Steve Jablonsky - Pain and Gain
Not good.
I enjoyed it. It's not boring to listen to. There's a bit of an 80s bent to the electronics, which is appropriate given the story, though with a modern sensibility, a la Cliff Martinez and less Trevor Horn. I'm disappointed in the fact that the main thematic materials (heard in "I'm Big" and "I Believe in Fitness") doesn't recur as much as I want it to. Since I've not seen the movie, I won't comment on how good it is for the movie, though, knowing Michael Bay films, it's probably functional enough at least. -

The music is better than Brian's usual stuff. There are excellent moments within and his use of the thematic material is admirable and very welcome. And speaking of the main theme, I'm warming up to it. I still prefer Ramin's version but Brian's theme fits in better with the Alan Silvestri's Avengers theme. -
