Agree.

Agree.

The music, like no other, evokes the image of Superman. The strength, the flight, even his capacity for good.

The only thing that comes close to being so musically "on the money" is perhaps Mendelssohn's "Midsummer Night's Dream" which is the perfect music to evoke the characters of Shakespeare's play.

I like Williams’ use of brass instruments. Sombre yet soaring.

I "wowed" that though I'm not much of a Potter fan......some of the music was quite good.

The final Potter film was scored by a French composer. Also very good.

The score of Home Alone is absolutely amazing.

I hadn’t realised he’d scored that one.
