Top Five Superhero Movie Music Scores

Let's get started, shall we?

5) John Williams - Superman



Can't go wrong with classics, right? John Williams seems to be well known for music that can get stuck in your head and never leave. Jurassic Park, Star Wars and Superman just to name a couple. It's not my absolute favorite from a superhero movie but, it definitely is always going to deserve the top five because it's THE most recognizable superhero theme ever and it's obviously really good.

4) Danny Elfman - Spider-Man 1 and 2



When you think of Spider-Man, people mostly get Raimi's Spider-Man in their head. When they think of the music, it's either one of two things. Hero by Chad Kroeger ft. Josey Scott (I absolutely love the hell out of that song, that's a definitive non-score Spidey theme) and Danny Elfman's score. Elfman's score is exciting and really good. It's one of the best themes from Superhero movies but, it's only flaw is that it doesn't feel like Spider-Man.

3) Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance



I originally wasn't going to put this on the list but, I've always found it hard to find a superhero score that was not only really good but also fit the movie and hopefully the character too. Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance's score was that. No, not exactly memorable but, I've found it to be rather enjoyable. The movie may get crap but there are 5 things that make the movie worth it Nicolas Cage, Johnny Whitworth, Idris Elba, the action and the score. Especially Johnny Whitworth, that guy is the highlight of the movie. But, you get the point. Spirit of Vengeance made number three. Deal with it. Very under rated. Not the movie, the score.

2) Alan Silvestri - Captain America: The First Avenger



This is the Superman theme for Captain America. It's memorable, fits the character with perfection and despite being short, it's a very, very good score from Alan Silvestri. It's the best score in the MCU, the best deserves the very best. As far as the solo films go, Alan Silvestri nailed it with Captain America.

1) James Horner - The Amazing Spider-Man



This is THE definitive Spider-Man score. It's heroic, exciting, it's got everything. James Horner hit the nail right on the head with this one. It's a very good, very engrossing score. I was humming this the entire ride home after seeing it in the theater. As with Captain America, this is the Superman theme for Spider-Man. This is the best Spider-Man score and I hope Horner comes back for seconds.
