The soundtrack is a divisive aspect of the movie. I find more and more that I like it. Why? Well, just as the graphic novel is a commentary on comic books, the movie adaptation needed to be a commentary on comic book/superhero/action movies. That's why the costumes were altered to look more "modern." On the same line, the use of popular music is meant to play with the way it is used in other superhero or action movies.
