I then made the mistake after the release and the Scroe the first time listened quietly about Spotify learning with headphones - which would have "followers" have to be clear as room: scores of Hans are always at their best when they are loud can listen to a sensible investment.
Nevertheless, the trailer "An Ideal of Hope" and "Fate of Your Planet" have promised more than it has been held: namely - similar to the Dark Knight series - a lot of variety between melodic, dreamy splendor and bombastic rhythmics and dynamics as well as a really epic Werkt! For the two, used in the trailers pieces already include the best of what the score will bear. So I was astonished when I again found the trailer in the "Fate of Your Planet" related music not in the original score - an experience that I was allowed to make (eg TDKR) it before.
After the first listen I was therefore a little frustrated. But I did not have this effect for the first time in works by Hans Zimmer and gave the score therefore another chance on my system. And since I've heard the CD 2 of the Deluxe Edition, I am sometimes even thrilled!
The score begins with the track "Look to the Stars". With the first sounds I immediately went the famous theme from John Williams through his mind as the low level sounds a little "out of terri table" sound and awaken the expectation of a big fanfare at least for me. However, displays with running away the tracks that he comes out of bed room: From soft sound at the beginning it increases second by second up to an epic chorus and comes with rapid strings to end. This fits but (probably) the more the film to work a lot with memory scenes of the past (I see him only on Saturday).
In alternate score, as noted by other reviewers, very quiet, peaceful and long-drawn tones with hard, fast and powerful rhythms from. This can be heard especial striking example in the successive tracks "Oil Rig" and "Sent Here for a Reason". In the latter track is also the first time the - presumed - Theme to Clark Kent that even quite heard in "An Ideal of Hope" at the beginning, played. A very simple, soft but distinctive and soulful melody on the piano, which unfortunately far too rare in the entire score. A weak point of the score, which is, for example. In the Dark Knight trilogy or even the score for Gladiator far better managed.
That must come from the head of the score by Hans Zimmer, is evident from the still very strong resemblance to the scores of the Dark-Knight-series (see. Track "Tornado") as well as eg. The track "Goodbye my soon", but the very reminiscent of the scores for the films of the Dan Brown novels.
What this score particularly power and strengths of the scores are in my opinion, are the tracks "terraforming", "This is Clark Kent", "Flight", "What Are You Going to Do When You Are Not Saving the World?" and on the bonus CD "General Zod" (a real surprise, I think, precisely because of the last 2 minutes), "Earth" and "Arcade" (-> Fate of Your Planet). What's room once again well done, is the mixture of classical instruments and modern elements. In particular, the use of an e-Gittare out and the synthesizer stabs Theme General Zod and his people. Too bad he has only rarely used the latter element in a striking manner as in "You Die or I Do" and "Arcade". Again, the comparison with the Batman scores, before all the attached to "The Dark Knight", in which the theme is clearly heard the Joker much more often. Rooms used in the score to Man of Steel a lot of different themes that make it the basis of this wealth only rarely re-emerge in one of the tracks.
Which I think is relatively superfluous is the score, the sketchbook. Then you can hardly find anything new, except for the greater use of e-Gittare. Because I would have preferred to have the bonus tracks on CD 2 in the original score. But this is probably due to the marketing and sales strategy of Sony.
All in all I rate this score with 4 stars. He is a really successful, imaginative score, with great themes, and the typical Zimmerischen hard rhythmics and dynamics. This is both a positive as well as a weak point on the score. Because he remembers partly too much of previous scores, especially on the to TDKR. Also somehow missing something Consistent, represent a recurring pattern that makes the score. The track "What Are You Going to Do When You Are Not Saving the World" is splendidly, but he stands out as a major conclusion is not in the course of the scores from. However, I have not seen the movie yet, so I can score in this respect is not to classify, so my negative review might not be quite appropriate. The tracks of the bonus disc really pushing the whole score again right up - therefore it is worth buying the Deluxe Edition!
