This was the only piece by John Williams they used in SR. The rest of the score was by John Ottman (including stuff he made just playing off this theme) so his name got slapped onto the soundtrack list. But they always credited John Williams with this piece.
Honestly I love John Williams but this version sounds much better then the original. The original from the 70s sounds very cheesy now. This version has a much crisper, cleaner, stronger sound and is more modern and rousing for Superman.
I hope to god if they reboot the franchise they keep this theme. I can't imagine Superman with any other score. John Williams made Superman his with this score.
This is the original. I re-record and a re-write are two different things. This is exactly the version john williams wrote in 78 (his name is even credited in superman returns), just re-recorded in 2006 for the first time in 28 years, hence the crispness :)
Yea I know it's the same score written-wise but I mean the sound of it. When you hear the "original" the sound is very cheesy and at a faster pace by todays standards in my opinion. This one sounds slower and more meaningful.
@unknown1771 Cheesy!?! Oh well you entitled to that opinion. I always felt that every single adaptation of Williams main title theme was at best inferior. The high notes for the trumpets always impressed as a kid up until now. All other re-recordings always fail to emulate that effect.
i dont understand why people say it sounds like john ottman did it when it says he did at the bottom of the screen and it really doesnt sound any different than the original to me they both sound A+++++++
O My Gawd I have listened to this about three-million times! I completely L-O-V-E it! I never thought i would like classical kinda music as much as i love this piece! Thanks for putting it up so i could listen to it 24/7! :]
It's a great score, one of the very best in film history.
But Ottman's version is lacking something. That special magical quality of the original. It's a copy here, dots on a page. Reproduced by a competent conductor, yes, but lacking compared to the original.
A me piace più questa, la trovo più squillante e grintosa, ricordo che al cinema mi divertii come un matto ogni volta che il celebre motivetto partiva :-D
They need to use this theme in Man of Steel

John Ottman did a great job with this. It's actually a rearranged version of Williams' classic theme. I actually like this version better. :D

All he did for this theme was rearrange it a bit. I like the beginning though, its suspenseful in a way.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Well what this score is missing is John Williams and LSO. Then it would be great. IT sounds like John Ottman did it. Crap.
