Whose music for Pirates of the Caribbean? As far as I know, Hans Zimmer wrote the majority of the music and Klaus Badelt's name was only tacked on for contractual reasons. Besides, the Pirates (One, because I love the music for 2 and especially 3) music is pretty boring if you ask me. What moving theme are you talking about? They're all just bombastic and almost identical, a bit annoying after a while. If you want to hear really good Badelt music, go for the Time Machine.
