1978 John Williams Superman theme remains one of the most famous of the 70s, so it is both obvious and a little strange that it would feature so prominently in the score for Superman Returns: Why director Bryan Singer and composer John Ottman so willfully compare themselves to the movies soon? Not only a turbocharged version of Williams theme ("Main Titles") opens the album, but "Behind the Scenes: Superman Returns Score" featurette, which is part of the section CD bonus offers improved performance with the orchestra on the theme 1978. Ottman own work has to take place in the shadow of Williams, which is a bit unfair because, while the new score is not revolutionary, it offers all the glory, triumph, and vaguely atmospheric choirs that are now rigor in Hollywood action movies.
Ottman, of course, is used for the treatment of superheroes (who wrote the soundtrack for X2: X-Men and Fantastic Four), but this time had to reflect the essence of his noble character, so they came up the themes that reveal even more pomp, pathos, and atmospheric choirs than before. This is not what you call subtle, but does the job. - Elisabeth Vincentelli
