The themes tailored to the relationship of Peter and Gwen sway on both a piano instrumental of the main fanfare (‘Ground Rules’), demonstrating Zimmer’s compositional versatility. A suitably dark and threatening piece of both classical and experimental orchestration that proves to be much more successful than the themes attributed to Electro. The menace established is unleashed with urgent other-worldly violins and booming cellos in Harry’s second theme, ‘I’m Goblin’. It provides the character with a sense of a creeping burgeoning darkness beneath what is a tragic surface. ‘Harry’s Suite’ is laced with sinister menace, with long synthesised notes layered with the tragic tones that only a string section can conjure. The aforementioned fanfare for Spidey, present to great effect in the tracks ‘I’m Spider-Man’ and ‘You’re That Spider Guy’ is strong and adds a nice sense of musical continuity following James Horner’s similarly trumpet driven theme from the first installment.Ī loud, somewhat tonally muddled affair, but one that offers many a moment of pleasure The score is much stronger in regards to themes it attributes to other characters. It’s not a joy to listen to, and feels tonally awkward with the rest of the music on offer, particularly when driven by a clarinet melody that’s out of whack in relation to the character and the tone of the picture. That is accentuated by a bizarre chant that doesn’t pay-off in quite the effect I assume both Zimmer and director Marc Webb were hoping for.
As one would assume, it’s largely made up of distorted sounds, dub-step which seem designed to only alienate the listener/viewer.
The problem with the score is the theme it attributes to the character of Electro. The track kicks off Zimmer’s work with the type of panache we have come to expect from the German maestro. It’s also the first time that we hear the gloriously triumphant trumpet fanfare that’s attributed to the titular hero.
A mixture of a number of the main themes, Zimmer has great fun jumping back and forth from booming brass to plucky electric guitar, before moving into a synthesised sound that gives the track an 80’s action movie vibe. The album opens in bombastic action fashion with one of the best tracks of the album, ‘Cold War’. Stewart, Michael Einzinger, ex-Smith guitarist Johnny Marr, and that happy chappy Pharrell Williams, making it somewhat of an essential listen. A new Zimmer score is always something to get excited about, but this time around he has assembled his own super-team, The Magnificent Six. The album has plenty of promise going in to it.
