The Real Genius is Nicholas Dodd   Monday, March 21, 2022 (5:04 p.m.) 

Arnold is a glory hogging no-talent hack whose music is more the genius of his orchestrator and conductor Nicholas Dodd than him, just listen to Dodd's own score for Renaissance and you will hear what I mean. All of the scores credited to David Arnold should actually say 'Music Composed by Nicholas Dodd and David Arnold' and give credit where it's due.

Read this if you don't believe me:

P.S. I think the real proof is that sincee he stopped working with Dodd, Arnold hasn't been able to compose a score without the help of Michael Price except for a simplistic cartoon score for The Tiger Who Came to Tea.

And yet Zimmer can do the exact same thing and get an Oscar and get praised by Vanity Fair and Rolling Stone and NYT and all of his vapid fans who think he is revolutionary. At least Arnold's scores were more music than sound FX.

Completely agree, Zimmer is everything wrong with film music, but Dodd should get more credit for what he does than Arnold.

The real hack is this account   Monday, June 19, 2023 (8:03 a.m.) 

For the record, if you ever see comments from "Aaltio Fan 1" on any reviews, it was someone attempting to be a troll before they got banned from the site for other reasons.
