I just want to ask how much Zimmer you've actually listened to, cuz I fail to believe you can think that all Zimmer stuff is similar. Yes, he created the Media Ventures/Remote Control style, but he's been able to continue it quite effectively.

And I don't know if truly talented is the right word here...certainly more talented. Debney, Goldsmith, williams, Elfman, Horner, Arnold (this is not in order of preference)...the list could probably go on, but Zimmer has still proved to be a pretty good composer. He just also happens to be one who refuses to break the mold that often.

Plus, Spielberg likes him!
