As I was watching <i>Thor: The Dark World</i>, I found the seemingly generic action/fantasy score sounded oddly and specifically familiar. By the two-thirds mark, I realized that I was hearing echoes of Brian Tyler's score for the 2003 miniseries <a href="http://www.streamingsoundtracks.com/modules.php?name=Album&asin=B00008NGHU" target="_blank"><i>Children of Dune</a>.</i> And sure enough, once the credits rolled, there was Tyler's name.
Here's what I think happened. I get the feeling that the movie was temp-scored with <i>Children of Dune</i>, and Tyler was hired to give the producers more of the same. I can't prove any of this, but my theory at least would mean that Tyler copied his earlier work because he was told to, not because those chord progressions are the only ones he knows.
Don't get me wrong; <i>Children of Dune</i> is an awesome score. But ten years later, I would like to hear something different. So while the score for Thor does its job just fine, it's nothing we haven't heard before.
