Star Trek Into Darkness - Michael Giacchino

Michael Giacchino carries forward some of his themes from the first Star Trek movie into Star Trek Into Darkness.  His score to me seems to keep the new franchise fresh.  It has both good action and dramatic feel.  I enjoyed the movie and look forward to the next one.  You kind of wonder how long they can keep the current cast together before they all start asking for more money.

Iron Man 3 - Brian Tyler

Ahh the 2013 season of summer blockbuster or so called blockbuster movies begins. The highly anticipated Iron Man 3 is no exception. The score is composed by Brian Tyler who scored movies such as Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Battle LA and the Expendables.  There isn't much hints of the previous Iron Man scores.  The first one was composed by Ramin Djawadi and the second one was composed by John Debney.  The first track Iron Man 3 gets you into the superhero feel.  It sounds like the movie will be action filled and fun.
