Hello all.

Long time ago when megaupload existed, I uploaded what I have dubbed "Film Music Highlights" of both BATMAN BEGINS and THE DARK KNIGHT, which were sort of reverse-isolated scores. I say reversed because typically a score is edited to fit the film it was composed for, while I edit the film to fit the unedited music score.

I've been making these things off and on since 2005, and I used to mail them to people in the past. The two Dark Knight films were only of two times I uploaded any of my sequences outside of YouTube (which doesn't work because of endless "Content Matches" copyright restrictions, and I've decided to do the same for THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, given that it seems a lot of people have not seen the film but heard the score, or haven't heard / seen either one.

The only other video sequence I made that I uploaded for mass viewing was the 'War' sequence from AVATAR, to show people (mostly members of the FSM board...they call it 'score restore') the original intended score for that awesome battle sequence from the film....I've since re-made it in 1080p HD and might upload it again.

Essentially what I make are video soundtrack albums. I take soundtracks, put them back into their films without effects or dialogue (unless I find it makes for an interesting or comedic effect) and make individual segments which restores the original intention of the music and you can basically watch the film with the score narrating the story, like a silent film.

I've done quite a number of these over the years, though some have been lost to hard drive failure or lost DVDs. I actually made this in November 2012 but lost the files when my old laptop died, and re-made these in January of this year.

While these AMAZING SPIDER-MAN sequences are in standard definition since I used the DVD, I'm going back and remaking some sequences for films in HD using Blu-rays, and this will eventually be one of them.

Here it is, the complete score as heard in the film, along with a couple of alternate cues. I previewed this in the "Deluxe Edition" (Thread 171369) thread where I edited a montage for the full opening titles (I HATED how that great title theme was omitted from the opening of the film) and now here is the whole presentation.


If you love the score, or might have a curiosity about how the score works in the film without actually having to watch the film in the traditional sense, then you will probably enjoy these sequences.

Here's a YouTube video I uploaded a while back on the scoring of the film, taken from the Blu-ray:

Hi, I was just downloading this one, and suddenly it was removed...

That could mean someone here reported my link. It happened to Amanda, and perhaps now it's happening to me.

Try it one more time and let me know if anything changes.

Tried the link and it works fine. Nice upload. I really liked track 10 (with screen)!
James Horner did a good job on that piece of score, because the emotion and drama is done well.
Keep up the good work!

thanks

Wow this is Awesome.... listening to Horners score with Visuals takes his music to another level..... this is without doubt the best Superhero score since Elfmans 1989 Batman movie or John Powell X-Men 3?..... being John Williams Superman The movie being the greatest comic book score imo ..... to think we got saddled with Zimmers shit with The Amazing Spider-man 2 after this.... christ...... oh and the films TAMS 1 and 2 are awful

Cool, thanks for doing this! I'd like to see more of this stuff on here.

This is apparently because we don't seem to say "Hey I really like this score" and leave it at that. Even though this is a thread about the first film and how Horner's score works in it, we apparently have to add "and Zimmer's score is shit!!!" Even though it has nothing to do with the thread's topic. AND despite our not having seen the film or heard the final film mix of the score. Part of the point of JH's post is for folks to see HOW the score works with the visuals; WHY certain elements were done the way they were. We cannot judge how the new score works in it's intended film since we have not been able to see it yet. Nor do we have the full score. That's like watching a film's opening, one love scene, one action scene (edited of course) and the end credits. Then discussing how the whole 3 hour film sucks. We will not be able to really say much about TAS2 until we hear the whole thing. The movie will have to suffice for now.

Also, for Horner supporters, every one of you who spontaneously exclaims ZIMMER SUCKS will only draw an opposite and equal exclamation via "haters". Just stick to discussing JH's work here and leave ALL OF YOUR OTHER SHIT at the frickin' door, will ya?

what is the encryption key? I tried to give it a download but it asks for a key for some reason.

Mega generates the key. It is a built in part of the link. Make sure you are copy/pasting correctly. It is not a pass that we as members generate or anything like that.

My remark about Zimmer and Horners score really is more of a refection of how Standards in Film score music has dropped and how these idiots can�t appreciate good orchestral scores .....

Thanks a lot

Cool, thanks for doing this! I'd like to see more of this stuff on here.

I can oblige, though it will be a mix of HD and SD content, depending on the film. As I said I'm re-making some of my segments in HD. This film isn't next, but will happen.

In SD I have a few of the "Star Trek" movies I had done a long time ago but haven't finished them, along with a few other scores.

I've got "Apollo 13" in HD ready, "A Beautiful Mind" in HD ready, "RoboCop" (1987) in HD ready, working on the complete score for Horner's "Karate Kid" in HD, and I'm going to an HD version of "The Dark Knight Trilogy" as well. I already turned the TDK trilogy into isolated music score tracks and muxed them with HD rips off of my Blu-ray discs, so it's just a matter of splitting the scenes up into individual segments for that.

This is awesome ive only just burnt this to disc the picture and audio quality are fantastic .... thanks again !
