First off, I thought that the movie was specifically made for those who could not get the chance to read the comic book and that's why I loved it. Not all of us can afford to purchase an entire series on the whole.
Sorry, Christian, I think this score isn't that bad. I mean, sure, it's no great superhero score, it has no memorable themes, and Tyler Bates uses texture over melody, but that doesn't make it an underachieving score. Particularly, the "Don't Get Too Misty Eyed" track was what Zack Snyder may have ment with Bates' "beautiful" score.
