Editorial Review:
Album Description:
Stunning original score for the hotly anticipated Warner Bros. Pictures epic feature film Superman Returns.
Amazon.com:
John Williams's theme for 1978's Superman remains one of the most famous of the '70s, so it's both obvious and a little weird that it would feature so prominently in the score for Superman Returns: Why would director Bryan Singer and composer John Ottman so willfully compare themselves to the earlier movie? Not only does a turbocharged version of Williams's theme ("Main Titles") open the album, but the "Behind the Scenes: Superman Returns Score" featurette that's part of the CD's bonus enhanced section is all about the orchestra performing the 1978 theme. Ottman's own work thus has to unfold in the shadow projected by Williams, which is a bit unfair since, while the new score isn't revolutionary, it delivers all the pomp, triumph, and vaguely atmospheric choirs that are now de rigueur in Hollywood action films. Ottman, of course, is used to dealing with superheroes (he wrote the scores for X2: X-Men United and Fantastic Four ), but this time around he's had to reflect the essentially noble nature of his main character, and so he's come up with themes that reveal even more pomp, pathos, and atmospheric choirs than before. It's not what you'd call subtle, but it does the job. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

- Amazing...up to par with the original....With all honesty, I had never been a real fan of Ottman's works. His work always seemed to be centered around one major theme and then just a lot of noise. The only score I really liked by Ottman was Hide and Seek.
Needless to say, when I heard that Ottman was signed on to do Superman Returns I was freaked out. There was no way they were going to kill off Mr. Williams' theme (if they did, there went all hope for the score and the movie) and could he really adapt from it?
Quite simply..John ... Read More

- A Blending Of New And Old With the return of the Man of Steel to film screens after almost twenty years also came the return of the classic John Williams' themes that made up the musical side of the franchise. Composer John Ottman had some big shoes to fill with this score. I mean, it isn't easy bringing one of the best known film scores of all time into a new era. But Ottman proves himself with this score that not only pays homage to Williams but also adds on to those classic themes.
The score starts with a triumphant ... Read More

- Super, Dynamic Score Full of Energy and EmotionJohn Ottman, who is certainly no stranger to the superhero genre, having composed the scores to X-Men 2, Fantastic Four, as well as the upcoming Fantastic Four sequel, outranks them all with Superman Returns. Of course, it is a daunting task to score a film of this calibre, especially picking up the slack of a classic John Williams score. The big question is, did Ottman simply re-use Williams' themes, as Alexander Courage and Ken Thorne did in Superman II, III, and IV or did he integrate the themes into his ... Read More

- Very good, but missing a couple of biddiesGreat opening score. I didn't think so at first, but I truly prefer this one over John Williams '78 score. It's cut down just a little bit though, but it's a bit faster, crisper, and better uses the snare drums - particularly during transitions within the score.
Only a couple of things missing:
1.) The Krypton theme as mentioned earlier
2.) Superman's standing ovation in the baseball stadium and Titan-tron view at the end of Rough Flight. Very uplifting. I almost wanted to stand ... Read More

- Rough FlightI really loved Ottman's work on "X2" so him taking on "Superman" should have resulted in something special. Unfortunately what we get is less than stellar, and we get to hear a pretty poor treatment of Williams original "Superman" material.
A lot of the music we get is all themes from Williams original score which should have been a good thing, but Ottman decided to update it for the 21st Century, and apparently the best way to do that is to add choir to everything and try to make the music as sappy ... Read More
