    To top it off, the video refuses to play for 30 seconds and then suddenly it becomes 1 second long.

    • @blueskybelyr
      @blueskybelyr 9 лет назад +10

      Maka Soru Man of Steel never had this theme because it's too triumphant. Clark never felt truly heroic in that film - more like a person desperately trying to validate himself by doing what he believed was right; protecting people. From being held suspect by humans and hunted by Kryptonians, there was never a time that Kal-El felt like 'Superman'. The darker, grimmer score reflected Clark's feelings of uncertain identity, and the fact that he didn't really belong anywhere. That's why Man of Steel was so great, in my opinion. It did the impossible - humanising the most incorruptible of characters ever to be created. This original theme is awesome to listen to, but it would have come across as trite and cheap had they stuck it in Man of Steel. I would't be watching a story about a man trying to find his place in the world, but another superhero movie churned out of the capitalist machine. (Which MoS may be anyway, but I'd like to keep the blinders on).

    Un tema épico, tal vez, hablando de personajes de cómics, es el más reconocido a nivel mundial, de un inicio se identifica de quién estamos hablando y en especial, se refiere al Superman de Christopher Reeve... ahora existen otros temas fuertes como el de Wonder Woman que de inmediato nos hace pensar en Gal Gadot o el de The Avengers que les identifica como grupo, pero el mejor tema de un sólo personaje no podía ser otro que el de Superman...

    If you knew the first thing about music, you'd know that music can never be performed perfectly. And that there's an awful lot more to it than playing the notes, as it was written. There's a lot wrong with this performance. Many mistakes that I simply have not the room to list. An example is audible at 2:07 where the strings crescendo consummates far to hastily. When performed much more acutely, it's 'one of the' best movie themes, yes.

  • @nathanrieke5061
    @nathanrieke5061 12 лет назад

    Wrong, Keefo2009. When I saw "The Dark Knight Rises," there was a theatrical preview of Man of Steel. One of the shots was of Superman flying straight up in the air, vertically, towards space. He was flying so fast, he was creating a sonic boom above his head. During that shot, the classic John Williams theme was playing. Also, from everything I've heard, that theme will be used, even if Hans Zimmer is doing it.
