Well whatever it is, it does sound pretty much like a distorted lead all right to me (it might be a sampled one, or synth-based), but anyway it's electronic. That was my point.

As Steven said, it's orchestra played through a guitar amp. Zimmer has said it himself.
All I know, is whatever it ''is'' trying to be, it sounds bad!

That's something new I learned today, thanks On first listen it did sound like a distortion guitar. But still it's electronic all right, and it sounds great to me 
Unlike those in 300 which gave me a week's worth of headaches

The olden days were always better. I think we're dealing with a psychological phenonemon here, rather than the actual state of things. Hear old people complain about the youth and society going downhill, yet look at crime statistics for instance, and it often turns out that the crime rate is lower today and that young people were swearing just as often back then.

I have to concur with my brother here, how much I keep hearing music, it doesn't sting anymore like it used too. I've seen the great rise of filmmusic in the '80 and '90 and nowadays music is good, but it doesn't leave a feeling with me like it used too. Back then music from all those wonderful composers simply stayed in the mind longer than nowadays. Now good music is still heard but its more strength and rhythm. I still hear good music but it just doesn't stay in the mind anymore.
Ah well, I guess the more you hear music the lesser you can be surprised?
So what about the younger people who are now growing up with the current film music outcome? Will they too be missing the eras you mention at some point eventually? I am not accusing anyone of being nostalgic here but don't you think it's a bit logical that one will feel a stronger bond with what introduced him into the specific genre in the first place and cultivated his wider range of film music from that point onward?
Does it REALLY have to do with quality in the end?
Think about this.
Indeed you have a point there, I think its all got to do around the fact that when you hear more, you can be far lesser surprised. So for me I feel that the quality of the music is good but the sting, the memorability doesn't last as much as the music where I grew up with.waaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Where's my nut? arrrghhhhhhh
