That first minute is one of the best pieces of music for a film you are ever likely to hear. Incredible and takes me back to a being a kid
me too bro
Brings goose bumps and the odd tear every time
It's just so majestic and superior grand. - James D Watkins artistic director of PHOENIX PRODUCTIONS.
hearing it, you always know it is affiliated with truth and justice..@@-Gumbo
We had no idea back then what this would be
Christopher Reeve best superman of all time.
Superman ...hands down the greatest superhero of all time
Christopher Reeve is the ONLY superman
Ok he was fucking great, that face was originak from comics,he should be mire ripped... Hehe
Well duh
yesssssssssss mannnn😘😘😘
"Thats funny
,I've never seen garbage eat garbage before." Classic scene
It's a great burn on Rocky
"Make this order to go!"
I love the trumpet intro..it perfectly captures the majesty of Krypton.
As a kid I would always listen to this record. I still love it as a 42 yr old.
mark lee did you watch at the cinema ?
Yes. My brother took me.
Lucky
I am 41 and it's still the best movie of all time !!! RIP CHRISTOPHER REEVE
mark lee me too my friend.. I’ll be 41 in February.. I bought one off of Margot kidders table at a convention got her to sign it and it’s put up, I miss this time of life..
Rare to hear music that completely sweeps you off your feet and takes you to another world such as this
The transition that begins at 2:00 is the greatest transition in the history of music.
I saw Superman in the theatre when I was 4 and believe me no movie today could make you feel the way it did me, you felt like you were flying along with Superman and the music was unreal , movies today just don't have it, those green screens don't deliver like real locations and model sets did back in the day.
You... you realize these movies used blue screens right?
Oh wait, the nostalgia's speaking for you. My bad.
100% agree. The tagline for S1 promotional material was "you'll believe a man can fly". And you seriously did. No hero movie since has made you feel the way these both S1 and S2 did.
"Superman, thank God.......I mean, get him! "
Come to me son of Jer El, kneel before Zod!
+Steven Karl Hamer +Romulan Thug (after a Flying chase) Son of Jor El, I was beginning to think that you were a Coward.
+Romulan Thug "What am I going to do with you people? I fulfilled my end; I delivered the blue boy, and what do I get from my triple threat? 'Bow, yield, KNEEL!' That kind of stuff closes out of town." :)
+Romulan Thug I Dick Cheney would've been the better Lex Luthor.
I'm not a coward Zod.
One of the best sequels ever and Ken Thorne is one of the reasons why!
Seeing Superman II in the movie theatre was unforgettable
Unpopular opinion.... I actually think this version is better than Superman The Movie. I ADORE John Williams beautiful orchestration, it’s a masterpiece.... but this one is just plain more fun to listen to in my humble opinion. The drums, the quicker tempo..... this is the one I listen to when walking around NYC & past the World News Building!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ken did a truly amazingly immense job on both this movie & Superman 3!! He is & ALWAYS WILL BE a hero of mine!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It is an improvisation of the original..
No, I agree with you. I always thought this way.
@@lenharper8502 thank you Len!! When I’m walking through upper Manhattan this is the version of Superman I’ll play in my headphones!!!!⭐️
@@RamachandranS20 true words Ramachandran.👍
I wholeheartedly agree with you. There is a sense of urgency with Ken Thornes orchestration. He definitely put a little pepper on it!
Without doubt one of the, if not the most inspirational theme tunes ever composed
one of the best intros EVER on a movie soundtrack !!!
I second that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
b54321ish hear hear. I live this so much. I don't think anybody can top the legendary john Williams. Reeve is always superman.
Big time bro
This was Ken Thorne’s version. Better than the original by John Williams IMO.
Man 45 years old and this soundtrack makes me feel I can fly like Superman especially at 2:11 it’s like I’m preparing to go up in the air. I know I’m talking like a little kid 😂😂😂
One of the *BEST* intros *EVER*
esta banda sonora me transporta en el tiempo haaayyy 😌 que tiempos aquellos Superman cristhoper revee nunca te olvidaremos 💞😍😘
Brings tears to my eyes listening to this always reminds me of my daddy watching this in cinema when I was kid he's gone 12 yrs
Bless you, precious memories to cherish.
First film I saw at the cinema I was 3 years old ....
Omg.. It's the same for me... We laughed so hard watching the first picture... . don't worry miss... I got you....
You got me??? Who's got you!!!!?????!!!... My dad passed in 2014..
Bless you. What lovely memories of your dad. My mum died in November last year and she loved cinema and influenced me greatly
May your Dad Rest In Peace
Ken Thorne doesn't get enough credit for his adaptation of Williams masterpiece score.
Hi
you know your right he sped it up sounds really good
John Williams suggested Ken Thorne to adapt his music for Superman 2
Agree completely. This version is my favourite, and has been since I was two lol
@@joshuakline1435 Is that true or a joke???
Both composers doing an epic job of conveying something SUPER.
Don't compare them, thats like comparing Hendrix and Van Halen, two masters in their own right.
Thorne added such a majesty to S2, and his music is equally a part of my memories as a kid as Williams.
Goose bumps here. Lump in my throat. This is so stirring, awesome.
I believe a man can fly.
Thank you so much for this.
A happy 67 yr old.
Time 4:00 hits I get the chills. That is the music I'll forever associate with "shit's about to hit the fan, Superman is serious now."
You will kneel down before me Jor el , Jor el !
That happens to me at about 2:10 seconds - as the build up really starts.
one of the best opening themes ive ever heard!
As a kid, I had this movie on VHS but I didn't have the first one. So, this is MY Superman theme.
when he pulled up to the building and asked Zod if he'd like to step outside, EVERYBODY in the audience went bonkers....I was only a kid, but you never forget moments like that....those Superman movies Christopher Reeve starred in REALLY moved a lot of people
This was amazing to read!!! Thank you!👍
yes, i fully remember that lol...i was only 13 when i came out, the theater was TOTALLY decorated in superman stuff, they had superman cups, all kinds of banners and such, you felt like you were on krypton...and yes, that part when he said would you like to step outside.....the audience went WILD, clapped and cheered
Man, wish i could have been there. I remember as a kid watching this in the 90s, and as soon as i saw Superman get his powers back i just couldn't contain my excitement.
That little scene have everything: Comedy, arrogance, surprise, tension.
It was so well written. This movie still holds very well nowdays. I saw it when I was a little kid and it was BIG, I am 43 and still gives me chills everytime I watch it.. Reeves is the best!! RIP!
SuperMan: General, would you care to step outside?
Louis: Superman!
Lex: Superman, thank God.
{Zod gives Lex a menacing look}
Lex: I mean, get him!
Zod:Come to me, Son of Jor-El!
KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!!
christopher reeve only and true s
Got my tickets to the 40th anniversary showing of the original superman on the 25th of this month. Hearing this on the big screen again is about to make my yr
I watched this movie when I was just 4 years old. And The Cinema was jampacked! Lots of People. All I can see were people standing in front of me. And I have to ride on my father's shoulder just to see the movie!
Ken Thorne, best Superman music composer of all time.
After all these years, i still get chills hearing this theme!!! Greatest of all hero themes!!!!!
I know it’s a masterpiece scored by John Williams but Ken Thornes absolutely murders this rendition of it. Slightly higher in pitch and just a bit faster. The drumroll in the beginning gives it a more militant feel but the Kryptonian March buildup is so damn epic.
RIP Christopher Reeve 1952-1994 Aged 52 #Superman #Clarkkent #Themanofsteel RIP Margot Kidder #Lois Lane Aged 69 1948-2018 Sleep well you are missed dearly rest in peace.
Most defff👌👌
Reeve died in 2004 not 1994, but I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment.
My favorite movie of all time.
When its raining i watching the movie
Untill nowadays, Superman inspires me. And I'm thirty years old and have two children. He is the greatest superhero and this music captured his greatness. Thanks for uploading this.
You’re Welcome
I used to play this every morning as I walked into work. Good times.
Superman II A 1981 Summer Blockbuster Movie Hit
I totally agree with you Robin Hood, this is as we grew up with it. Unadulterated pure super-hero sheeeet, with no holds barred and no ambiguity. Oh to return to those days when I could fantasize that it might just be possible, Reality is a bit of a sod, is it not?
Superman II has an amazing soundtrack. I love it.
I like Ken's Superman soundtrack, the little differences to the original provides some nice variation, I love all four soundtracks to the original movies.
Mrs. Phyllis Stephens - sigh
+Mrs. Phyllis Stephens, wow! That would explain that! I've wondered for YEARS why the orchestration sounded so different and quite frankly like a high school/college orchestra. Makes sense.
+Mrs. Phyllis Stephens yawn.
I'd like to know what "High School" has a "band" that plays music as good as this. They should be on Good Morning America because I've never heard one this good. Please shut up now. Thanks.
You’re welcome
This music gives me life..energy.. peace...power 🔥
That's what American women want. Power.
This song incites their hatred of strong men.
This takes me way back to around ‘85 when I was about 6 years old and mum put this on the tv for me so she could load the twin tub with Terry nappies. That smell of washing powder and dirty laundry going on as I’m mesmerised by this incredible man who gives me new hope and imagination like I’ve never felt before. Not knowing how or why this music happening but it’s energising my excitement and inspiration to find a way to find this superman. I asked my mum where to find him and she tells me he’s not real, it’s all a trick etc, but i wasn’t having any of it. I will become superman. And so I donned the Y-fronts over my trousers and robbed a towel for my cape and desperately tried to figure out how to lift off and fly around the living room. I reckon that’s what triggered the beginning of those flying dreams when I sleep which are still happening these days and it’s all because of this music.
Didn’t know back then there was a superman 1 and once I watched that, John Williams lifted me even further! The power of music.
This soundtracks a work of genius!
From around 3:54 on is my favorite part. The theme here modulates up, which didn’t happen in the original Williams score. This 30 second section is so inspiring and really pumps you up!
This theme sounds a bit more militant, which makes sense for this movie with Superman going to war against the three villains.
It definitely does with the drums in the intro
right on target
This is a beautiful piece of music. Love it!
Superman II best superman movie ever
This is the music that everyone loves but sadly, is afraid to play out loud.
Williams is genius
One of the best Soundtracks in the life, absollutly makes the movie a classic, I still enjoy this
ken thorne never got critisized before internet trolls came to the table,
For anyone who was a kid in the early '80s, this film was epic. Perfection. Anything else is revisionism.
Seriously this has got to be the best superhero soundtrack ever thumbs up if you agree!
Superman themes greatesr ever orchestral music so powerful and suits the situation everytime
I love the opening intro to this, it's a really powerful piece of music.
My favorite Superman actor of all time Christopher Reeves was just amazing playing as him the best ever no one can ever replace him
My Favorite Superman movie ever! One of my favorite movies period! Love the soundtrack as well!
Thanks for sharing.a fitting tribute to the late christopher reeve....the REAL superman.rest in peace chris.
There is no music that is synonimous with any superhero other than this.
Right! The only other one that comes close is Danny Elfman's Batman theme song.
Just awesome! Been watching this movie over and over for 30 odd years,bring back memories of trying to fly around like superman lol
"Care to step outside, General?"
"Can we hold hands and listen to this soundtrack together?"
Epic rendition of John Williams original score by Ken Thorne.
This was my childhood. This was how a superman movie was intended to feel.
My son likes this music a lot.
giovys because this is pure art at its finest.
this was my first movie I saw in a theater and I remember it like it was yesterday , and im 41 years old...my mom was so concerned that I would ruin the movie for everyone else by acting up that she made me practice being quite at home while watching one of her soap operas....i believe her thinking was if I lost interest in the movie I would start to talk and misbehave so she knew I hated the soap opera that she used to watch in the afternoon, and was convinced that if I could sit thru that then superman 2 would be cake.
Carissimo cristopher reewe ti sei diventato , una leggenda tu sei unico e il numero 1 del cinema come Superman ti porto con me nella mia anima fino al mio ultimo giorno ,sei tu che resti nel mio cuore .
Gli altri che hanno preso il tuo posto , non sono nessuno , riposa in pace amico .
The first 55 seconds was so amazing. It's like it wasn't about the fictional character Superman, but about me, or anyone who has faced persistent obstacles & the potential to emerge and finally show the world their inner Superman or potential for greatness.
2:10 is where the heavy lifting comes in to become that super man/woman.
@@ashleyhyne7027 When I commented, I was facing some seemingly insurmountable obstacles. A living nightmare. I remember listening to this often for inspiration, while persevering through it all. I, somehow, managed to get through it, came out better on the other side than if i had not struggled so much at all. I now realize it was that character-defining struggle that has made me Superman. A man of steel resolve. World looks different now, cause I soar every day. 🙂
Thank you! 👍🏻🦸🙏🏻🇺🇸
You may recall that Superman defeated Zod in this movie using guile and not muscle.
Makes my spine tingle ❤
John Williams could't score the music for Superman II because he was busy scoring the music for The Empire Strikes Back, so Kenneth Thorne scored the movie instead
Back when superheroes had their shit together, and were worthy of admiration for their good character, and not just their superpowers.
What a film the greatest of my childhood!!!!
I liked this version of the opening credits the best over Williams' version. It sounds more dynamic to me. The highs are higher, and it sounds more energetic. My favorite though is actually the closing credits of S-2.
Best epic super-hero song ever
I bet even Williams had his drawers blown off first time he heard this.
Arguably the best intro of all the Superman movies....
According to producer Ilya Salkind, John Williams was asked to score Superman II, but he decided to pass after screening the film. Another source claims that Williams turned it down because he felt he could not work with director Richard Lester. Whatever the case, I think Ken Thorne did a fine job.
Actually, it was because he was a very busy man. He was finishing up The Empire Strikes Back in late 1979, early 1980 and also beginning to write Raiders of the Lost Ark in 1980. After Raiders, he did E.T. He was heavily used by Lucas and Spielberg during this time and just didn't have the time for the sequel to Superman.
@@blackhawkjohn1He made the right decision I like Superman 2 but Empire Strikes Back and Raiders of the Lost Art are better movies
Superman song 😍
Best score ever written, hands down!!!!!!
This movie had an alternate ending where Lex Luthor broke out of prison again- but it had to be removed from the actual film because Gene Hackman decided not to be in "Superman III" after the Salkinds fired Richard Donner from being the director.
I happen to be listening to movie soundtracks of late, and this came up right after 'Superman 2". Im so jazzed by the opening theme, that I've decided to watch the movie.
I honestly believe Ken Thorne did the best job he could at adapting what John Williams had done previously with the first film. The original soundtrack release of Superman II sounded pretty bad, but the one that was remastered for the box set that came out awhile back sounded much better. And it was great to have some of the unreleased tracks, especially the piece that played when Clark ran down the alley to turn into Superman.
That, and the full Metropolis fight sequence between Superman and the 3 villains.
I had this album when I was a teenager and played it a lot. Lost it n the earthquake among other stuff but it brings me nice memories.
breathtaking music
The moment at 8:43 where Clark knew the jig was up and he had to reveal who is he is to Lois, the motif played by the French horns and then the cellos gets me everytime
Superman 1978 😢
Best entrance ever
RIP Christopher, you were the only true Superman.
Idk what you mean by the only "true" Superman. Christopher Reeve is the definitive version but Henry Cavill is a perfect modern representation and deserves some credit too.
Krypton and the march sound all in one brilliant
this is the only intro of a movie taken from the original and getting past it
Still gives me the chills everytime I listen to this.
The once, thw only and true Superman !
One of my favorite movies as a kid
I used some of this music when I workout.
Listening to this gives me chills and goosebumps
GREATEST THEME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris's spirit lives on this theme.
Did we not grow up in the best decades in all human history are movies music are actors singers bands but now it's fading but the memories stay strong because of heart all rest cause the hard work is done +---
From 01:30- 06:56, sends chills down my spine everytime, with excitement.
I would stay starting from 00:00 with that first solo brass starts getting me exciting, but yeah, the chills running down my spine from about 1:30
A magia dos anos 80 .. filme Cult.. tfilha Cult.. top .. parabéns
Masterpiece
We'll never get sound tracks or movies like this again thanks to modern day fuck ups
*****
???
+Yoru Foxy Ikr, I'm like a hugeee Superman fan. It's sad that the new kids don't even like this type of Superman bc they claim it's "old and he doesn't look like superman.".
Yea :I
It's really sad.
Technically they already messed up, Superman IV explains it all.
Unforgettable.
Christopher Reeve must never be forgotten .
Andrew Dexter - I doubt he ever will my friend. Immortal Superman.
GREAT adaption of John williams score of Superman by the great Ken thorne, mixing it brilliantly in his own style!! Recently listened to the complete version of this soundtrack which was distributed at the tailend of last year by LaLa land records. I've always had the soundtrack to the first Superman film but never had the soundtrack to the second film and thanks to LaLa land records i now own it. All the Superman films starring Christopher reeve had EXCELLENT scores that always reflected Christopher reeve's matchless portrayal of the man of steel!!!!
I HAD THE ALBUM IN THE 80S.
