Part of the problem is that some of his music gets re-used in trailers. There's a bit from the Power of One soundtrack (one of my favorite soundtracks ever) that I've heard re-used in a LotR trailer and probably others. See also: David Arnold's Stargate soundtrack.

Yeah. He's no John Williams, but then who is? I do rate Klaus Badelt as the higher one in their songwriting team. Of course the late John Barry can never be eclipsed.

Was he the one who scored Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves? I can leave the Bryan Adams pop song from it, but I love the overture from that movie and the non-Adams song in the soundtrack. I used to play the soundtrack over and over until the tape wore out when I was younger, it was the soundtrack to my reading of Lord of the Rings. It is my Lord of the Rings soundtrack.

[(Anonymous)]

No, that was Michael Kamen.

Zimmer is alright, he always has at least one solid song and otherwise does well to capture the mood, but I don't always want to listen to entire albums of his scores.

I personally stan Danny Elfman just because I usually enjoy his soundtracks in full.

[(Anonymous)]

Me too. And Elfman is a better overall musician as well.

These days I usually just like one song he composes for a soundtrack.

Last year was "The Arrival of Kai" from Kung Fu Panda 3 and "The Red Capes Are Coming" from BvS.

He's not bad, no way, but he is the first name people drop when they want to sound ~sofilmsticated

[(Anonymous)]

I do think he is a genius, though. He and Danny are the only composers I presently buy soundtracks from. Sorry.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah I just can't get as incensed about this as you are, he makes some damn good music.

I feel like this is going to somehow loop back to secret #1, but...

Wot, no love for Bernard Herrmann?

[ninety6tears]

He has some standouts for sure but tends to be overrated and I shouldn't say it openly but I have a hard time taking anyone seriously as a "film music fan" if he's their #1.

[alexi_lupin]

Who do you think is top level talent in film scores?

[skeletal_history]

I would be on board with this, just on principle (and my music snobbery), but I have to toss my dignity and street cred to the side and say that one of the pieces he wrote for "The Thin Red Line" is among my favorite classical pieces, ever.

[(Anonymous)]

Some of his work I like, but I find I refer to him as McSoundtrack in conversation a lot.
