James Garcia, for We Got This Covered, writes with reference to Brian Tyler, the recently announced composer for Avengers: Age of Ultron:
"Tyler’s resume also includes The Expendablesfilms, Now You See Me, and a handful of theFast and Furious movies. He did an alright job with the music in his previous Marvel efforts, but as I said before, none of them were exactly memorable. The studio must like him though if they want to bring him back for Avengers: Age Of Ultron. Let’s just hope that he does as good a job with the superhero team-up as Silvestri did the first time around."

I think Garcia is well aware of flawed ‘alright’ critique of Tyler’s previous efforts. Considering the success of Marvel’s Universe of films, this is a core element that is consistently below par. From Iron Man through to the latest Captain America: The Winter Soldier the soundtracks have always felt unclear, confused and inconsistent

There are some interesting points made here; however comparisons to Williams' Star Wars scores for the original trilogy is unfair. Musical trends and tastes have changed greatly since and fragmentation of media and social/cultural circles make such impact unlikely for any film or film franchise to ever match the heights of Star Wars.
What do you say? Is this a fair critique of the Marvel film's scores?
