The Planet Krypton

[mrfixit0025]

They can be a great people, Kal-El, if they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason, above all, their capacity for good, I have sent them you...my only son.

[Cenobite1991]

0:00 - 1:23; an orgasm for the ears.

[ogdoad4]

best part is 0:00-1:22 and 2:10-3:10 epic

[STP43FAN1]

This is no fantasy. No careless product of wild imagination. No, my friends. These indictments that I have brought you today. Specific charges, listed here against the individuals. Their acts of treason, their ultimate aim of sedition. These are matters of undeniable fact.

[chasefreak]

You WILL bow down before me Jor-el

[GalacticBloopy]

Gives me chills.

[Theblur1993]

superman is real we just dont hear about him saving lives

[abacuschannel1]

After 1:22, the rest of the piece deals with the three Kryptonian villians being condemned to the Phantom Zone.

[Nox0verstreet]

I to am a son of Jor-EL.



[SuperBigwilk]

If the first 1 minute 20 seconds dosnt give you an erection, nothing will !!

[HnKOfficial1993]

Best Part(0.28-1.22)....one word-EPIC!

[BIGBMH]

after the superman returns teaser, it's hard to help hearing marlon brando doing his monologue whenever i listen to this

[Lunacyk]

What a wonderful song for an alarm clock! THIS is how you greet the day!

[ririckyrickyracoon03]

i stopped listening at 1:22, the rest is just weird

[pantheratigris79]

The first 1:20 min is Perfection...! 25 years passed, and this theme still has the same effect on me! John Williams is a genius.

[joeylodes]

Epic!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheAwesome45]

who the fuck could dislike this!?

[exquisitebb]

@TheAwesome45 I know right?! Probably a Batman fanatic.

[TheAwesome45]

iI miss Christopher Reeve

[TheGoldcountry]

whenever I think that humankind has hit the skids, I think "well, we still aspire to greatness." Superman isn't cool because he's powerful; he's cool because his first thought (and ours) is: "how can I help others?" Something to ponder.

[lucky44124]

:01 - 1:23 is like FUCK! WOW! OMG! Name a theme better then that 1 minute and 24 seconds????

[buttkuss26]

@lucky44124 agree! agree! agree!

[lucky44124]

THIS is his best song for the Superman Soundtrack! Better then the theme and I put this in my top 5 John Williams pieces

[thesyfychannel15]

3. The Planet Krypton - (SM-1)

2. The Battle of Yavin - (SW-IV)

1. The Superman theme - (SM-1)

[USA553]

I gotta say if there was ever a better opening to a movie than this I definately haven't heard it.......Probably because there isn't one. Ha. Love this movie anyone agree?

[priestpega]

Knowing Mr. Zack Snyder's taste in music, expect the upcoming "Man of Steel" film to replace John Williams theme with a hard rock song and 80's & 90's pop songs that somehow refers to Superman (like Spin Doctor's "Pocketful of Kryptonite")...the horror...the horror!

[KaitainCPS]

@priestpega

Oh, man, that would be fucking hilarious.

It's vaguely plausible, too.

[julian68167]

I saw Superman the first time when I was 5 years old. 27 years have passed since then, but this particular title followed me through my life. Most amazing title ever! And surely one of the best soundtracks ever composed! Thank you John!

[GHRBJRC]

I miss Smallville so much lol...Let's fight for 7 more seasons!!

2011-2018

[Vengeance31]

@GHRBJRC Oh please hell no. The nightmare is over lets move on.

[GHRBJRC]

@Vengeance31 :P It was good while it lasted.hate fillers though

[nyyank87]

GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY!

[twiskins]

@nyyank87 "You will kneel before me Jor-El!"

[twiskins]

No dislikes, there is hope yet for Krypton.

[fitruiti]

From 0.30 to 1.19, i think the most epic sounds i ever heard... dbz xd

[odnamrabackwards]

"They're a great people Kal-El, they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all, they're capacity for good, I have sent them you, my only son.

Epic.

[nicksparkle]

Wonderful

[GeneralThornton]

You will travel far, my dear Kal-El...

[Freedomcostmoney]

Hopefully when my kids are born someday this theme will be in the back of my mind :D

[moonlightdrive1000]

I remeber listening to this song in line for Superman it made the ride Epic! XD when the song hit 1:16 the doors opened for mw to get on next. it made my day.

[vulvoline01]

hmm smallville did incule an original track, wasnt as heavy and as important at "planet krypton"tho .... .

[ion010101]

No one has managed to improve on something released in 1978. Not even a little bit. Even J. Williams music has become uninspired, like he's just phoning it in, like he's no longer hungry (cough*Harry Potter*cough)...

[BatMak23]

@ion010101 Are we talking improving on music or film? Also, does it have to specifically be 1978? Or perhaps just that decade alone? If so, I can think of quite a few examples that have succeeded in various ways both cinematically and musically. Additionally, if you are hinting at some sort of flaw or problem with John Williams' Harry Potter compilations, then I believe you are severely mistaken.

[Neville6000]

Let's face it, this is the Kryptonian National Anthem.

[TheDeliverater]

babies are made to this music

[Chumandoo3]

Superman licks Batman's gonads. And enjoys it.

[hypersonicdragon]

SMALLVILLE SUCKS!!

[Greenmembr]

@hypersonicdragon No you

[takashi04]

@hypersonicdragon BLASHPHAMEY!

[hypersonicdragon]

@takashi04 lol.....i prefer the superman movie-reeve....smallville goes like a soap opera mixed with justice league!!

[DerrickDmx]

 Smallville finale

[gvert1213]

The Smallville finale will be epic!!!

[KH2Fangirl]

SMALLVILLE FINALEEEEE!!!! YEEAAAAAAAH!!! I WILL<3 SUPERMAN AND BATMAN FOREVER!

[e2fusion]

Sidney Crosby now is your time. Show the NHL its your time. Come back sid...

[TB12istheGOAT]

Magnificent! These instruments not only heard but felt as well.

[robbiedistasio]

they played this song for a smallville finally promo

[monkadelic13]

spine tingling; i loved playing this in symphonic band on my 42b bach trombone.... very powerful intro!

[Reevefan1]

Wonderful... pure magic!!!

[stuntmanmike37]

This is definately the best track from any of the Superman movies. 0:00-1:35 is just epic.

[vulvoline01]

were always looking for live tracks ....i never found a live one of this perticular track but ... wow , well done . please link it to me if u can find it

[Mantiso]

as amazing as the main superman theme is, this is even better

[tlpeterson]

@Mantiso i totally agree, I loved it when they used this in the superman returns trailer. too bad synder is not using the music, hes a fucktard anyways,

[halomo81]

@tlpeterson WHEN DID SNYDER SAY HE WASNT USING THE MUSIC HE IS NOT BASING THE MOVIES ON THE OLD FILMS BUT THE MUSIC IS TO ICONIC TO NOT BE USED AND THERE IS NO FACT TO UR STATEMENT OF HIM NOT USING THE THEME AT ALL DUDE DONT STATE NOTHING WITHOUT EVIDENCE

[HardyRStudios]

The beginning had a Richard Strauss sound.

[maj1986]

@HardyRStudios No, a John Williams sound.

[HardyRStudios]

@maj1986 Well sure, but there are (in my opinion) some slight similarities to Strauss' classic symphonic poem "Also Sprach Zarathustra" (at least the opening of it). Heck, even the love theme for Superman sounds like Strauss' Death and Transfiguration (just a tad bit... just a tad); anyway, the two composers are great anyhow, so it's not really bothering me. Thanks for your time.

[maj1986]

@HardyRStudios I just think Williams has a sond of his own, that he created soley.

[HardyRStudios]

@maj1986 I know, I can't really argue with that. Previously, I wasn't really trying to say that Williams is unoriginal, I just noticed similarities between two fantastic composers who are known to have that brass/ pomp and bravado style in some cases, that's all.

[bbenjoe]

Ah I should've known, John Williams of course.

[MegaVikingsrule]

this song is awesome i am about 12 and i basically made up a planet where i was the creator of evrything and i evan came from a diffrent planet i called kryptos a bit of a rip off but wth i love this music

[amigomatt]

RIP Maurice Murphy, the splendid 1st trumpet you hear on this. A great loss to the trumpet world.

[XSnipeXBennyX]

goosebumps every time

[neverdenytheu]

@XSnipeXBennyX ....i totally agree

[Lightray110]

Krypton may be gone, but it will forever remain in our hearts and memories.

[TheGoldcountry]

@Lightray110 Superman is forever fictional- and forever real- he exists within us- whatever your best thoughts of the human race are, that's what he represents- and don't let anyone tell you different

[Mybeckham7]

i wish i was born on planet krypton, then id be like superman

[gunz18]

Epic, Thats My Shyt

"M"

[jimmyajp]

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!
