Magic returns to superhero scoring
James Horner has written an excelent score for this film.It may sound strange, but after listening many superhero scores composed by modern (most computer-trained) composers, to listen now to this score by a classically-trained composer like James Horner is like breathing some fresh air.A simple but great theme, some electronic layering, bombastic action cues, and also some delicate voice and piano performances are the main ingredients of this score.One of the best scores of 2012. Absolutely recommended.

Not James Horner at his best, sadly.
I'm usually a big fan of James Horner scores, so felt a bit let down by this one. It's not that it's a badly written score, just feels bog standard and that not much effect has been put into originality. Sorry Mr Horner, but on the whole, this score is thoroughly unmemorable.

The Amazing Spider-Man
If you like spider-man then this soundtrack is for you, it is a little better than the first spider-man film as there is more songs.

The Amazing yet not so entirely needed Spider-Man Film.
I found the score to be quite enjoyable. The film may not be the greatest thing ever but at least it had a good score by Horner to back it up.
