What did you think of the music?


I thought it was okay overall, though lacking a central theme and somewhat unmemorable. I agree with some reviewers mentioning that the music was a bit overbearing in parts, not giving much needed break for subtlety. Especially with that same motiff playing over and over going something like “ Bam bam bam baaaamm!” It was cool hearing it a few times at first, but then it wears out its welcome, a bit too much. That music piece reminded me of “Clash Of The Titans” music that also played a lot throughout the whole movie.

I think some underwater sequences had some good music. A couple of famous songs in new renditions, was surprised to hear Depeche Mode thrown in there. Also Aquaman’s first intro music was really cool with that guitar. I think they could’ve used it a bit more during the final battle to highlight it, that way it would become his theme.

I liked Black Manta and Ocean Master's theme even if they were similar. Alan Silvestri would have been great for this.

I was pleasantly surprised by the inclusion of Depeche Mode and Sigur Ros tracks.
The score seemed fairly generic, though.
