Hanz Zimmer is genuinely talented though.

[philstar22]

Some of his stuff is really good in my opinion. He's not my top favorite, but I do like his stuff. It is really subjective, and people are allowed to like who they like.

[dinogrrl]

I'm not completely fond of the direction his stuff's taken in recent years but there's no accounting for personal taste I guess. John Williams is generally regarded as one of the best composers of the modern era and yet I know lots of people who loathe his music.

[(Anonymous)]

Eh.

It's definitely basic but who cares if someone has a basic opinion about film scores, it's just film scores, it's harmless.

[morieris]

I don't remember the last time I heard a Hans Zimmer score tbh. I did like the score for War for The Planet of the Apes and Birds of Prey, those stick out in my head.

[tabaqui]

.......people know who composes music for movies?
I don't even know who directs 99% of the movies I watch.

Weird.

[philstar22]

Yes? I pay attention, but that's because I really love movie music. I very often buy movie/tv/game scores and soundtracks as well as trailer music from the composers like Two Steps from Hell that make that kind of music. I'd actually say close to half of the music I own is either movie score music or a song I discovered because it was on a movie soundtrack.

John Williams is definitely my favorite, but I pay attention to quite a lot of score writers. Even for stuff I never actually watched or played.

[(Anonymous)]

I will literally watch a film just for the score, if I like the composer. So yeah, it's a thing.

[dantesspirit]

I only know him from the Assassin Creed games. Which are some of my favorite game scores.

[(Anonymous)]

So you're saying you've seriously never had the PotC score stuck in your head?

OK.

[philstar22]

The first Pirates score is the best, and that was done by Klaus Badelt.

[tabaqui]

At this moment, i seriously cannot even think of the PotC score at all; i can only hear a couple lines from the 'really bad eggs' song.

So...no?

[(Anonymous)]

That was just Zimmer ripping off his own score for the Gladiator.

[(Anonymous)]

Why do you hate him anon?

I just can't see the two things as comparable. Most people could make a stab at making a film. Very few people could do what Hans Zimmer does and compose orchestral music.

+1

[(Anonymous)]

Exactly.

[sparklywalls]

I can get why someone might have him as a fave if only because for most "mainstream" films of the last few decades, it's gonna be one of like three guys who did the score.

I'm not sure if I even have a favourite film score composer. But when Zimmer's at his best it's great (POTC has been mentioned) but there's been a couple of times where it's like he's operating on lazy-mode.

[(Anonymous)]

Okay but The Power of One is my favorite movie soundtrack ever.

[(Anonymous)]

As a professional musician who has played a crap ton of film scores of all levels of quality: agreed. It's not that he's bad at his job or incompetent. It's just that most of it is boring, repetitive, generally bland stuff. It gets the job done of evoking whatever emotion a Hollywood film is going for at that particular moment.

[greghousesgf]

shrug
I still think Pulp Fiction is a great movie.

[(Anonymous)]

I find his work to be rather same-y - if you played me one of his soundtracks from a movie I'd seen, it's not likely I'd be able to pick the movie, let alone be able to tell if you'd slipped in a bit of a different soundtrack. But a lot of blockbuster soundtracks are like that, at least these last few years - I couldn't hum you a single bit of any of the soundtracks of the MCU, and though the Lord of the Rings soundtrack was fantastic, the Hobbit was just 'that worked, let's do that again'.

[(Anonymous)]

That awkward moment when you think Spirit, that early 2000s horse movie is his best work.

[(Anonymous)]

Hans Zimmer fan here who feels this way about John Williams, lol.

[(Anonymous)]

PotC is what got me into him, and honestly it's cool because now whenever I'm watching a movie, I pay more attention to the score, and try to see who it is (once you're familiar,you can recognize Zimmerman).

I also like Danny Elfman for Solar reasons (except I met him through Edward Scissorhands). Ice Dance is one of my favorite pieces of music.

I know it's "basic" but oh well. I definitely will always appreciate them for opening up my vision, so to speak, because I started paying more attention to scores after that.

Scores I enjoy:
The Fountain
The Fall
28 Days Later

[esteefee]

Well this is trolly. Zimmer is genuinely talented. You know that because his work has spawned a gazillion knock-offs. His choice of instrumentation, e.g., in the Ritchie films has led to everyone and their mother using accordions, banjos and maritime pianos for anything set in Victorian England since. I hear non-Zimmer Zimmer scores all the time.

Ditto Elfman my very favorite film composer of the modern era.

So, eh. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Anyway, kudos to them to being notable in an industry that does its best these days to reduce film scores to cut-n-paste.
