To make a long story short, he did not use 100%! Debney suggests another direction, as Djawadi and creates his music much more emotional and simultaneously bombastic. And in terms of quality it is thus on a top level. Just the way he has set to music the Action very dynamic and enthralling. Of particular note are "Mayhem in Monaco" or "Iron Man Battles The Drones". It is great that Debney has assumed the incorporation of rock elements. Although he has taken not a single theme from Part 1, the style remains very least identical. And Debney goes further and gives the Man of Steel more depth and feeling, an advantage over the first part. Witzig, the title to "Make Way For Tomorrow Today", once the song at the end, or the instrumental version Expo.
Total Debneys score is very elegant and cool, with many brutal Action passages and also quieter moments that act not to put on.
However, the soundtrack has a clear weakness and the lack of topics ...
A clearly identifiable motive does not exist and especially with such a film expected good and strong subjects, leading the score. Somehow seems to have a different tune each track. The theme for Ivan is supported by the choirs, but somehow sounds always different. But most bothers me Iron Man's theme: In "I Am Iron Man" Iron Man's signature tune is heard, but it is used only here and once vigorously in "Mayhem in Monaco". Debney has not recognized the potential of this truly rousing theme apparently, hence the clear star deduction!
Through this gap the score will lose a lot ... After listening to the music you almost back directly forgotten and nothing gets stuck.
John Debney has a powerful and schmetterndes work composed, but the resistance is missing. Had he taken the subjects of Part 1 and some new created to then be "Iron Man 2" is certainly a Power film music, as you wish to participate. But it is enough, unfortunately, only for four stars ...
