Okay I know I’ve banged on about the Iron Man 2 soundtrack for a bit, I thought it odd that it would be a “best of” collection for AC/DC but figured that if they went for a a full on heavy metal AC/DC soundtrack for the film that would be an interesting choice and why not since AC/DC music kicks ass.
Well I’ve seen Iron Man 2 now and I can tell you that the Iron Man 2 soundtrack is complete and utter bullshit from a soundtrack point of view.
First of all, the film features one AC/DC song during the actual film (Shoot to Thrill) and then another one during the credits (Highway to Hell). So two AC/DC songs from the official soundtrack make it into the film. The rest of the songs aren’t actually featured, Thunderstruck (which I guess Marvel will save for Thor… I’m kidding) featured in a couple of the trailers but there were no other songs from the soundtrack in the film.
Now this is some 80′s bullshit.
I thought we’d be pretty much past the whole “Music featured in or inspired by” crap just to label a CD with a movie image. But the kicker here is that this music isn’t even inspired by the film!?!? Even War Machine Which you could imagine wasn’t (I don’t think) written with the character in mind.
What makes it worse though is that there is other music featured in the movie apart from the woeful score. There is a Queen song featuring DJ AM and a couple more that I honestly can’t recall but also can’t find online anywhere either.
A note about the score, it’s a different guy this time round and all the theme music from the first has been dumped which I think is a mistake. Also there may have been more incidental AC/DC music throughout the film, I didn’t pick up on it though and I doubt it but happy to be wrong.
That’s probably all I’ve got on Iron Man 2 now, I’ve vented now and I’m sure there are going to be plenty who completely disagree with me and love it.
I’m sure part three is going to be great!!
Honestly.
