Yeah the man is a genius alright, I love hearing this stuff about music cause I have no idea how composers come up with their stuff. Whole different world of thinking there. Gonna queue up the R1 score now and listen again.

I'll wait for the original score, but for now I'd rather give Spidey one big hug
As for Giacchino's work, liked Star Trek, loved Speed Racer

It is iconic, but that doesn't fix the fact that it was originally composed for a cheap 60s cartoon. The Danny Elfman theme is a superior piece of music, and I of wish it could come back in the future.

It's not meant to be superior. It's a quick nod. And Danny's music should stay in that series. New series, new composer, new theme
Oh if only more people would do this sometimes.
Finally listened to the clip in the OP. That was a lot of fun.
Giacchino is an insanely talented composer, and he generally manages to produce some damn quality scores in short amounts of time. I've enjoyed his work in pretty much everything I've seen that he's scored. I haven't seen everything he's worked on, but the fairly long sample size I've absorbed, he's in pretty high esteem as far as my faith in him delivering a solid, emotional score goes.

Although it's very similar to his Yorkstown theme it's good regardless. Very emotional, although I know there are some people who don't like Giacchino's seeming inability to do heroic marches these days, he's does emotional themes well, even if his piano chords make it obvious he's composed it.
I still haven't quite gotten over how similar it is to the Yorktown theme, honestly. I keep hearing a different score in my head every time I hear it. That said, it works very well for the two most emotional parts of the movie (
Dad dying and Jyn dying.

Honestly most composers have several similar sounding themes if you go through their entire work. There are only a few composers I can think of who managed to keep it fresh as much as they could (Goldsmith, Williams, Mancini, Bernstein, North, & Schifrin, among others, all come to mind, based off what I've listened to), and even then they've "repeated" themselves from time to time, so I can't really fault Giacchino for that, especially given his time schedule.
While I liked the score, I'll gladly admit a lot of the film was scored way too "epic" so to say. The finale scene was perfectly done though, he really brought the emotions during that moment, and it fit the scene well.

11 and 12 sound epic.

Ain't a Giacchino score without puns in the titles. Love it.

It's Giacchino, lol.
The alternative track listing for the Rogue One soundtrack is amazing.

it's a super hero movie
Nice update to the old school theme. Feels a bit meh for a movie, but maybe it will go really well with the movie. I loved Giacchino's work on Dr Strange, so I'll stay optimistic.
Fanboyism creeping in, I see.

It's for the opening Marvel logo.
Oh my bad. In that case it sounds like it will be a nice fit.
The first soundtrack I remember is for Mercenaries, a really great game.
And the main theme is quite memorable.

Hmm, sounds properly heroic, maybe a bit generic. Would like to hear the theme in full though.

Not nearly anything to go off of lol
Not sure if it's from him or not. I'd believe it though, I like it a lot.
