Thank You Andrew Garfield for putting your heart and soul in to Spider-Man. You'll always be Spider-Man to me, even if Marvel tells you otherwise. You'll be truly missed. It hurts knowing that he was a Spider-Man fan since a young boy and is no longer able to play his hero. Hopefully he'll never forget that he played the Spider-Man that the people always wanted.

In my whole opinion Elfman`s has always got a place in my inner child heart, but the theme he created just suits a different hero, since I was young I though that the Spider- Man had an energetic Vibe, and an energetic OST within, and when I heard Horners interpretation on the character it just "Amazed" me, it gives that nostalgic tone to it, and Zimmers just fits into Spider-Man's ultimate comics, you can read an heroic moment from those comic whil listening 17:43 track, and you`ll cry like a little girl : )

Hans Zimmer - Now that he's "officially" Spider-Man, it's like he's on top of the world (both figuratively and literally in a way). That's just me, tho lol

Elfman and Zimmer win this one because Elfman's theme is classic but to give ASM2 SOME credit the theme is good here and invokes the heroic nature of Spidey.

For me it's James Horner, tho I grew up with Elfmans score. James Horners score is just so perfect and relaxing to listen. When I watched the first three movies I didn't quite even notice the music in the background. But after I watched the Amazing Spider-Man I noticed the music, I loved it! It was too perfect for me. (I love all the soundtracks, not a single track is bad)

[@user-fk8mr7he8n]

You can't compare them, because they all have a different feel to them... Elfman: Classic Horner: Heroic Zimmer: Epic ... Or whatever you wanna call them. They are all perfect. Some people just can't let go of the old franchise. The first Spider-Man came out when I was in Kindergarten.

[@albinli5019]

+sm4carnageihope I'm with +andrew barralaga, to me the Elfman score is as important to Spidey as the Williams score is to Star Wars. Might be a bit of an absurd comparison, but that's how much I feel like his score captures the heroism, drama, action, mystery and tragedy of Spider-Man. That's not to say I'm not open for a new score either. I really like some of Horner and Zimmers work on TASM movies for example, but I still felt like it was unnecessary to take out all of Elfmans... I don't know what to call it... sound? I believe that bits and pieces of at least the theme SHOULD be carried over from what came before, due to the quality of the theme itself. Just look at James Bond, multiple movies, actors and continuitys, yet that iconic theme stays in almost all of them even if they change composers. It's a part of the character now. And the same should go for Spidey. But that's just how I feel about it.

[@sm4carnageihope]

Albin LI The reason why Williams stuck around for Star Wars was because its the same continuity, that and the score is iconic. Elmans theme isn't iconic and these are new continuities. If its so important to have, then why did TASM work out fine without it?

At first I was obsessed with Elfman, I mean, I grew up with that Spider-Man. But now, Hans Zimmer beautiful main theme has really grown on me. You just can't beat the music that follows Gwen and Peter's love story. if you want a classic spider-man theme, Elfman is the way to go. Horner is your epic, mysterious, fantasy pick. From the stillness of the main theme played on piano to the unusual sounds and instruments. Zimmer is just a masterful orchestral composer that really knows how to mix in the 'ethereal' and electric vibe to create a fresh take on Spider-Man. He has an amazing grip on composing music for the classical orchestra and strings for soft moments and also breaking out electric guitars and synths for the big fight moments. He really did a fantastic job picking up where Horner left off (rest in peace) and also bringing something new to the soundtrack. So...I can't really compare. They are all different styles. I guess the one most compelling to me is Horner, because he composed that beautiful theme that later on Zimmer really revamped.

Danny Elfman is the best, hands down. I can remember the ENTIRE score in my head without listening to it. It's the definitive Spider-Man movie score. James Horner didn't do a good or bad job, it just wasn't memorable. It could've worked out by continuing with this theme in later films, but it was just generic. Hans Zimmer, while I love the score for The Dark Knight Trilogy, did an okay job too with the recurring "Spider-Man" theme(s), but it was nothing special. However, his score for Electro (alone) was pretty kickass, though I understand why people dislike it for being a little slow and too dubsteppy.

Michael Covington I totally agree with you, I just didnt like Hanz Zimmer's approach on SpiderMan... It sounds like he ran out of ideas that it just doesnt fit Spiderman.... Oh and btw in my opinion even James Horner's version could be the best one out of the three because it has a very triumph and victorious feel too it where Danny's version does'nt have that feeling....Seriously I think Horner's one is kinda underestimated by the fans but it feels kinda half done and the main theme wasn't used much in the film which could be the reason of people underestimating it, but I advise you to go and re watch the entire crane scene of The Amazing Spider Man, you will see what I mean, James Horner in my opinion has done the best score next to Danny... But Hanz Zimmer absolutely sh**ed on Spiderman movies

[@RedLexV]

I totally think the same! I mean, when I started to explore the amazing world of movie soundtracks, I found Danny Elfman's work for Spider-man. Then, I found his work for Burton's movies. Even now, I think He is one of the best musicians of movies. But years later I met Hans Zimmer. His work is Epic, He became my favorite one. Since Inception, or Batman to Interstellar. But not his work for Spider-man. I think It doesn't seem his style. I think he could have done a better work without the "magnificent six". But, What can I say? I'm also a great fan of the spider-man character since comicbooks, and that movie, TASM 2, sucks. I didn't even expect a good adaptation. I just expected a good movie, but it wasn't. I was impatient for watching the movie, but It simply was so bad. As the score. I think just a few themes were great. I also love the work of another musicians like John Williams or Trent Reznor, even Herman. But James Horner... well, He is good, he makes good scores, but he seem 'generic' to me sometimes. But themes like promises, or the main theme make me feel the first movie of TASM. So, I would put the scores in the same order you did.

There was passion in Sam Raimi's Spidermans , there's absolutely none in this last one. We want passionated film makers. Please guys, stop overating those movies they're making for money with no love and no passion. We want the CHILLS BACK GUYS.

I speak for everyone here, and without a doubt the best theme was by Danny Elfman. Danny Elfman is one of the est composers, but for some reasons he's one of those magnificent people who don't get recognized for it. His music he wrote for the 1989 Batman was pretty legit too. Danny Elfman is one of the best composers in my opinion.

[@Droogie128]

TruckerTRex Elfman's Batman theme is nothing short of a masterpiece. Every bit as much as Williams' Superman theme.

[@Matos294]

at the end do is cool as hell

[@PaulCassidyOrchestrations]

Elfman wins hands down in my opinion. It sounds like there's actual spiders running across the violin strings! I also prefered the Sam Raimi movies to the latest rehash anyhow. Horner's is ok though a bit bland and Zimmer's doesn't sound like it bears any relation to Spiderman at all. Just opinions.....

[@Tesana]

There's a part within Elfman's composition that instantly makes me think of DNA, which I feel suits it superbly. Also, believe that Danny managed to incorporate feelings of darkness, epicness, sadness, and a bit of hopefulness at the end of the song.

[@MartyMar908]

Danny Elfman's theme just screams "With great power, comes great responsibility"

[@terryzhang1759]

Danny Elfman's is definitely classic, while I still go for the last epic one

[@leatherjackets92]

Dan's theme is pretty much a classic but I really prefer Horner's theme because it makes you feel like you take on anything

[@leatherjackets92]

Petroshock Pictures I understand if you feel that way but I Personally just enjoyed Horner's theme a bit more

[@tickpootheactualguy]

The Hans Zimmer theme sounds like the opening to a news station

[@evangriffin9112]

TheOwlsTyler lol one time at school we were making a news station scene for a movie and we used it as the intro for the news station! It was hilarious

[@iamajeeeep]

11:18 does this?

[@oliverdoesyt3661]

I love that in Tasm 2 they brought back the old Spider-Man suit form tobey maguires era and hardly changed it

[@owenbradley6092]

personally I love James Horner's version but I do like the others

[@tomakalinus]

These are all epic and very well-done. Of course, the *best* theme is still the catchy 1960s TV show version. Not everything about that show was brilliant, but the theme song is still hummable decades later. :)

[@PatMan_95]

12:50 - 14:58 AMAZING LOVE THEME!

[@matthewdunham1689]

Spectacular, Amazing and Sensational!

[@playerselite42]

hans zimmer shouldve atleast kept spidermans main theme by james horner, and they both shouldve had a few small intentional hints towards danny elfmans original soundtrack. man would the goosebumps emerge if they did that

[@yvngdende]

Whenever I think Spider-Man, I think of Danny Elfman's theme blaring as a costumed hero swings around the city using webs.

[@smlshin]

Elfman wins.

[@CroweDharmaReloaded]

All of them are...Amazing.

[@spideyviewer327]

My favorite is Zimmer's theme. **dodges a tomatoe** TASM hater: BOO! YOU STINK!

[@smashinghumer666]

Nothing says being desperate to the audience like TASM 2 soundtrack... You're entitled to your opinion, but TASM isn't just hated for nothing, it really is just a crappy movie holding on to the rights of a character. The soundtrack for the first movie was actually ok, but the second one... Yeah no

[@spideyviewer327]

666 PRODUCTIONS Thank you for accepting my opinion. I know TASM isn't hated for nothing. I just find some of the "criticisms" a little unfair. And I find more good stuff than bad

[@Vexen-A077]

666 PRODUCTIONS I feel like people hate on it just because it's rebooted and because it's the amazing Spider-Man...when they here the amazing Spider-Man I feel like people just hate on it just because it's the amazing Spider-Man....if you ask me but I found TASM2 better than Spider-Man 3 the only reason why is because Gwens death that's probably the only reason why Its not as bad as FF4 (2016) I'll rank my movies like this. 1: Spider-Man 2 2: The Amazing Spider-Man 3: Spider-Man 4: The Amazing Spider-Man 2 5: Spider-Man 3 and I put the amazing Spider-Man 1 over the first original Spider-Man is because I understood where they were going with it and obviously it looks better cgi is good...but regardless I love all of them in a Spider-Man fan...ill watch this franchise over any other.

[@aidabaida6076]

Horner all the way. His music perfectly captured the darkness of the city, the beauty of Spiderman's movements, the fluidity and grace of the action sequences. Elfman is good, Zimmer is okay, but nothing compares to Horner's sheer orchestral gold.

[@LiamRedmondVideo]

Elfman's is the best followed by Zimmer and then Horner's which sadly never stood out too much.

[@liamceveart7980]

I kinda prefer Danny Elfman, not just because i grew up with it but i think it's the one that fits the most with Spider-Man, the others are great too! I hope we'll listen to something this worthy in Spider-Man Homecoming

[@lolamelola7352]

12:10 Assassins Creed II theme?

[@raulbalarezos]

LOL yes!! 😂

[@hakeem2481]

Probably the best AC theme to date.

[@lonleybeer]

ikr lol

[@timinatr99]

+Lola Melola whars the name of the soundtrack?

[@vagabundiu3154]

+tim huynh ezio's family

[@jackh7650]

I love how it's the most legendary of legends who composed these pieces lol

[@JonathanJoestar64]

I LOVE SOUNDTRACK TASM 1-2

[@brumbexdabings3328]

Hans Zimmer is the best

[@rawgrant]

Nope

[@Smilebirde9]

Nope Danny elfman made the Better soundtrack

[@sandrowurzinger8897]

the beginning of the hans zimmer spiderman theme sounds like a star trek theme xD

[@helloeveryone6523]

He made Dc movie soundtrack way better than this...just listen to BvS soundtrack, it's so god like

[@xxdelta1690]

Brumbex Dabings Ur high kid

[@GOHST13ly]

Horner by far. He blows it out of the water. His score had more emotion and added way more depth to the scenes.

[@aferr581]

it really has feeling! the beginning of the second one, omg it literally made me cry!

[@supermonkeyape007]

Elfman. its not even a contest lol

[@Dudae_]

2:41 is, in my opinion, where the Spider-Man theme is. those few seconds of climax.

[@VfxKopele]

agree

[@albinli5019]

I REALLY want Danny to return to the franchise. To me the Elfman score is as important to Spidey as the Williams score is to Star Wars. Might be a bit of an absurd comparison, but that's how much I feel like his score captures the heroism, drama, action, mystery and tragedy of Spider-Man. That's not to say I'm not open for a new score/composer either. I really like some of Horner and Zimmers work on TASM movies for example, but I still felt like it was unnecessary to take out all of Elfmans... I don't know what to call it... sound? I believe that bits and pieces of at least the theme SHOULD be carried over from what came before, due to the quality of the theme itself. Just look at James Bond, multiple movies, actors and continuitys, yet that iconic theme stays in almost all of them even if they change composers. It's a part of the character now. And the same should go for Spidey. But that might just be how I feel about it.

[@evangriffin9112]

Albin LI I disagree. It would be a stupid choice to have the song carry over because, the themes of the movies and characters are completely different. Elfmans theme wouldn't fit in The ASM at all. Not in ASM2
