Hans Zimmer on "Man of Steel" Music - Ditch Theme

[Saquist]

I say don't ditch the theme.
But I'm open to leaving if it's better but it's a huge risk...
I wouldn't take that risk personally...Don't want to be the man that screwed up Superman.

Can you provide some examples of how the score is improved? I ask the question because, honestly, I'd like to know. I don't think the score is terrible -- heck I liked it enough that I bought the OST. But the moments in the film which resonate with me are already on the OST -- which, in my opinion, is far too sparse and nondescript to warrant additional material. So if there really is something worthwhile on the 2-disc set, that isn't already available on the OST, I'd be happy to know what it is.

There was an excellent analysis posted on the forums for jwfan.net not long after the set's release which will explain in far greater detail than anything I could come up with.

Excellent! Thanks! It'll take some time to read through all of that. I also availed myself to one of my friends who's as much a film music fan as myself and have since borrowed the ST '09 Deluxe Edition. I haven't had a chance to listen to it really closely, but I have had it on in the background. At first blush, it doesn't seem as sparse as the OST -- though it still doesn't leave a deep impression upon me.
