What's with the comic book movie hate? Most of the Marvel ones are pretty good.
I'd say the one exception is the soundtracks. Movies used to have memorable soundtracks. Nowadays the soundtracks are pretty boring. They use a process of filming using another movies soundtrack nowadays and then going back and recording a soundtrack afterwards. It makes movies sound the same. It's cheaper to make but it makes the movie going experience cheaper too. It reduces one of the best parts of going to the theater, the sound system.
I'm pretty sure that Marvel used the soundtrack to Mad Max for the filming Winter Soldier and then went out and recorded for the winter soldier.

- bsder 10y agoBecause a soundtrack that is effectively "computer looped" is cheap and easy to edit into the film. Thus lots of short staccato instruments and lots of percussion. A soundtrack that is melodic requires a lot of effort to edit in, and may require you to go hire musicians if you just can't quite make it work. Or, you may have to wipe the soundtrack completely (cf. Chinatown) and start from scratch for a lot of money. If you are making a film, which one are you gonna do?
