Holy poo poo, the first 11 minutes or so of Krull is Peak Horner, basically everything remotely action-related he did before and after for a decade either way crammed into one place. I think the only thing missing is some Commando steel drum fever.

On the subject of trailer music, I have a ridiculous love for Chopperhead by Two Steps From Hell. You could score the trailer for On Golden Pond with Chopperhead and make it seem like it would be the most exciting movie you'd see in your entire life.

I'm going to guess that Zimmer's Batman/Superman score will go something like this: whenever one of the main characters is about to appear, a motif of the same number of notes as the syllables in their name will sound twice, first ending on a lower note, then on a higher.

So for Batman: "BAT... [lower] MAN... BAT... [higher] MAN..."
And Superman: "SU-PER... [lower] MAN... SU-PER... [higher] MAN..."
Then Wonder Woman: "WON-DER... WO-[lower]MAN... WON-DER... WO-[higher]MAN..."

All with strings constantly going "diddleiddlediddleiddlediddleiddle" under them. Thank you, I'm Hans Zimmer, composer of the theme for TV's Going For Gold, that'll be $2 million please.

James Horner made the same score over and over again, but it was a good score by god. Star Trek II and Aliens and who knows what else are practically the same score and they're amazing, part of my childhood.
Krull is the Horner-est early Horner score. I watched the film again a while back, and it was like his greatest hits cranked up to 11.
