Bumblebee (Motion Picture Score) - Dario Marianelli

Recently saw Bumblebee. The movie was somewhat better than I had expected.  I ended up waiting for it to come out on video rather than spending so much movie to see a movie that might not have been worth seeing in the theater.  Bumblebee is somewhat of a back story to the original Transformer movie.  It focused more on the relationship of Bumblebee and Charlie.  You can always add in CGI action and explosions, but that is only part of the story.  You need to feel for the characters.  This is something that I thought came across really well and the score seems to reflect that.

It doesn't look like there's a CD release of the score.  There is also a motion picture soundtrack.

Captain Marvel - Pinar Toprak

I think I'm starting to get a little tired of superhero movies. I think my main problem is there is too much CGI and the action scenes (while there needs to be in superhero movies) are too fast and more of a blur to watch.  I enjoyed Captain Marvel.  I like the strong heroine character.  ***SPOLIER*** I really enjoyed the flashback scenes where she gets knocked down but with her strong will and determination she gets back up again and again.  ***/END SPOILER***
