Reviewer says "Tyler's contribution on the whole is really quite good" then "but its one major weakness is the lack of any overarching theme for the group of heroes". This is unfortunate because Tyler and the orchestra made a fantastic overarching theme for the Avengers when he was doing the score himself, but exec decisions reduced that theme to quieter expressions. This was probably due to hiring Elfman and needing to get their money's worth from him. Humbled expression of Tyler's theme can still be heard at the end of "Hulkbuster" as well as "The Mission".

Tyler's standalone score is my favourite superhero score right now. I see it as much an executive mistake to crowd Tyler's score out with Elfman for Age of Ultron as it was a mistake to replace Yared's score with Horner's in Troy.

With bootlegged tracks, I was able to make my own edit of Tyler's score back into the whole film. Bootleg albums and YouTube clips by others are out there to preview how some of the tracks worked. Check out the opening fight scene played to Tyler's "Watch Your Language" track. Or the 3:25 length track of the "Avengers Age of Ultron Theme".

Wanda, Vision, and Ultron's own thematic highlights were also reduced but you can hear them interplay in "Ultron Revealed" when they're all in dialogue. Tyler's excellent action cues were replaced for action cues to other scenes for no reason except that Tyler's thematic identities were too strong, especially for Wanda. "Superpower vs. Superpower" transitioning to "Land of Disenchantment" is some of the best dramatic scoring I've heard in a long time. Also, "6m58C The Mission Pt. 2".
