Indeed...i love the way that he uses that harsh brass in the "Dark Phoenix Rises" cue and makes the chorus sing a different melody before bringing them both together in an amazing use of the phoenix theme...it still gives me goosebumps. Not to mention added with all the action on the movie...its truely a touch of genious
