While Clemmenson's comments on the Media Ventures work for Pirates of the Caribbean are far from unfounded, I think it's time to relent the MV bashing. Have we forgotten that the MV group is, in fact, quite capable? My comment is directed toward the section of the SWAT review that mentions the complexity Goldenthal usual of usual MV tools but that MV couldn't right if their lives depended on it.
This statement is quite unfair, as I hardly need remind Clemmenson that while in a slump, MV artists are quite capable of creating great, original music, as past scores show.
Look forward to SWAT, though
