Preparing for my first listen to "First Steps", I'm revisiting John Ottmans' Fantastic Four-Scores, starting today with his work for the 2005-Film (which was a perfectly fine earlier Superhero-Flick, albeit one so deeply tied to its era (mid-2000s) that it came across as comical. Still, I liked most of the cast and the entire thing was breezy enough that it didn't annoy me too much).
The Score is fine: Technically well made, well composed and orchestrated. Not the best Superhero Score and not even the best of the ones Ottman composed, but much better than the worst. And say about the Theme what you want but I think its super catchy.

Also (re)listened to:
"Elektra" (Christophe Beck). Not great, but there was some interesting creativity going on (the film is bad, by the way, but I don't think its "11% on RT"-bad)

"The Don is dead" (Jerry Goldsmith). Was in the mood for some Goldsmith and this thing popped up on my Amazon-music Playlist. Effective, if grim, Suspense-music interspersed occasionally with a nice Love Theme. Not a classic, but a perfectly okay work by anybodies standards (and, I dunno, the electronic Zapping someone described as Fart-noises didn't bother me too much. Mostly because the much more agressive "Farting" in Goldsmiths' Rambo-Sequel-Scores didn't bother me either big grin)
