10 Biggest Mistakes In The Marvel Cinematic Universe
6. Whats The Score?
The recently released Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer gave us our first real idea of what to expect from the highly anticipated sequel, and the outlook is extremely promising. One of the highlights was the surprisingly chilling reworking of the upbeat Pinocchio sing-along Ive Got No Strings, which lent an uneasy edge to the ominous images of an outgunned and at-odds Avengers team. As far as memorable musical moments thus far, however, the MCUs highlights have come from licensed songs rather than soaring scores. The nostalgic Awesome Mix Vol. 1 from Guardians Of The Galaxy propelled the films soundtrack up album charts the world over, but the score was no better than serviceable. Likewise, the efforts of Ramin Djaadi, John Debney, Tom Morello and Brian Tyler pale in comparison to the impact of AC/DCs songs in defining Iron Man. A great score can truly elevate the movie going experience; in the likes of Star Wars, the Bond franchise, Rocky and Superman, the music is a character in its own right. The Marvel scores have been perfectly adequate, but even the better efforts Captain America, Thor: The Dark World didnt come close to establishing themselves in movie music folklore. Several Marvel movies bear comparison with anything their competitors have to offer. Nevertheless, they are yet to feature a score to match Hanz Zimmers thunderous efforts under Christopher Nolan or Danny Elfmans excellent contributions to the Batman and Spider-Man franchises.
I watch movies and I watch sport. I also watch movies about sport, and if there were a sport about movies I'd watch that too. The internet was the closest thing I could find.
