You know Nautilus, that calling his music "shits" and appearing generally overreactive don't make your posts anymore interesting; it makes them annoying to read. I've seen you write in the Now Playing thread and you often have interesting comments when you behave like a sane person. You really don't have to behave like a rabid dog to get people to notice you, trust me.
In any case, I feel the same about Powell. He's surpassed Zimmer in my mind as well.

I do that. He's my favourite composer after Williams, Elfman and Goldenthal, but I see no reason to invest my whole emotional range into it. Nor for the top three. In fact, I've never really understood those who either rave senselessly or yell obscenities in regard to a composer. It's great to be passionate and everything, and no temperature would exist without it, but why not step back for a second and look at what it is you're talking about? We're talking FILM MUSIC here, a luxury niche hobby in the industrialized countries. No need to get your "knickers in a bunch" or however the expression goes.
Zimmer is in my top5 fave composers as well. But I see no reason to get emotionally upset when he disappoints. He's doing his job better than anyone else, i.e. making his bosses (directors and producers) happy with the products he provides. It's only because we listen to it on album (something the composition was never intended for) that we judge it using very different (and wrong) standards.

I think one of the problems is that most of the time, Zimmer goes so far to arrange his stuff differently for the album to make the album experience worthwhile for itself. There are only few people who would or can afford that, but maybe that´s why he is attacked more often for what appears to be a "lazy album". People are used to what he CAN do.
Personally, if I find an album not to my liking, I shrug and say, "next time". Because there´s always an album coming that makes me happy and keeps me going for weeks and months, before the next great stuff happens. -

Maybe the level of expectation is so high that people are likely to be in for a disappointment?
I see it all the time, and not just with Zimmer. A composer is announced for a project, comments like "awesome", "really looking forward to this", etc, ring out and then a few months pass and when people eventually hear it...ouch!The views expressed in this post are entirely my own and do not reflect the opinions of maintitles.net, or for that matter, anyone else. http://www.racksandtags.com/falkirkbairn -

Plindboe, I say shit with a lot of inner peace. I'm not...overeacting or dissapointed, I didn't expect nothing. I only put an adjective to his album and score, and i really do think Zimmer himself knows this is a shit. Take the money and run.
And I don't says things like that to make people pay attention to me, because I don't care. In fact I'm a little bit off of forums. -

Yeah, and I think it was particularly bad with this one, since POTC 3 was one of Zimmer's best efforts in many ways. Ah well, onto Kung Fu Panda 2! -

That's rude. The finished score didn't had Debney's original ideas, and the main theme was barely used. Still, Debney made an enjoyable score with a better use of synths and guitars than the MV scores.
And people complains because Debney is scoring family films. -

Well a bunch of Electric guitars screaming around the place aren't going to make me wave a flag when the same composer wrote something like Passion of the Christ, dragonfly or Lair some years back; it's not the genre that makes the score, but the music itself.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

My point was that people were expecting for Debney to write an 'awesome' score (or similar adjectives) when compared with what Djawadi wrote. But in the end. Debney wrote a middling three star effort (which I had predicted before).Revenge is sweet... Revenge is best served cold... Revenge is ice cream. -

I was just looking at the top 10 grossing films in the U.S. so far this year, and I couldn't help but notice how many of those films are either scored by Zimmer or one of his minions, or one of his former minions, or someone trying to sound like him:
1. The Hangover Part II
2. PotC: On Stranger Tides
3. Fast Five
4. Thor
5. Kung Fu Panda 2
6. Bridesmaids
7. Rio
8. X-Men First Class
9. Rango
10. Hop
Love him or hate him, you have to admit that he has had an enormous influence on film music. The Zimmer sound is ubiquitous in Hollywood these days. It has probably become synonymous with popular American cinema to most of those who get into that…which is a lot of people.
Food for thought. -

Same thing occur every year. What will happen is that there will be the eventual backlash and studios will shift toward a different sound, Hans Zimmer will grow along with it. -

Interestingly, though, Zimmer himself has moved on to other soundscapes - stuff like the new BATMANS, INCEPTION. Heck, I think you can trace it all the way back to THE THIN RED LINE.I am extremely serious. -
