I do like me some Aerosmith, but I wouldn't include that song in my greatest hits compilation for that band. I will also admit I liked it as a kid. I'm pretty sure they played it at one of the concerts I went to as well (seen them twice).
But I'm glad you bring up a rock band making a song for a movie. Remember when Soundgarden got back together? The timing is a little murky to me. I think the first single off of King Animal was "I've Been Away for Too Long". And I was down with that. Next time around I think I was with my friends and they wanted to go see the latest Transformers or Marvel movie. Well, if the crowd is in favor who am I to say no. In the credits though...
VIDEO (ah, so it was Avengers). Yeah when I heard this I was like "oh no. Now I'm scared of the new album." Turns out that King Animal was above average with about 3 or 4 strong cuts.
edit: Looking at the timeline, this would have actually been the first song the band released after they reunited. Yeah so no wonder I was a little
at first before they started to preview the actual album material.
