Well, in the end it doesn't matter, we love it, and you don't. But don't ever f****ng compare Zimmer, or Soundtracks for that part, to those Pop-mistakes like Britney and all.

Music for movies are totally different things, and though you will always have better and worse soundtracks, there are above that (to my mind, because I can't swallow most of modern-day music).
I like it because I find film music so complex, with all the layers, and now some of you are saying that Zimmer has no layers? Or few so that a kid can write it? I must say, I play all kinds of woodwinds, and I love to play along with soundtrack scores, preferably even Zimmer's (eg King Arthur, Last Samurai, Rangoon). But by playing I can tell you that it has great depth to it, because I can jump from one layer to the other, and while playing you find out how intertwined it is.

Besides, his melodies may be very shallow (to you), but add all the rest, the brass coming in, the drums in the back, the choir placed on it, all to make it match... well I must say, no simple kid nor student could do that without knowledge, experience ānd talent.

All I can conclude that there has come into being to great a hate towards Zimmer, because there are two camps who have found the fondness to bash on each other to show they are right. But I ask you, who don't like Zimmer's music, is it really that bad?, or is it just this score that bothers you?, or just his name, which has settles in your hate-part of your heart, while you know it's not worth it to hate him?
