I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH THIS! EVERY WILLIAMS´S SCORES IS OVERVALUED. IF HARRY POTTER WOULD BE WRITTEN FOR EXAMPLE BY JAMES HORNER OR ANYONE ELSE, IT IS NEARLY SURE, THAT IT WOULD GET ** AND WHEN IT IS COMPOSED BY WILLIAMS IT AUTHOMATICALY GET 2 STARS MORE THAN WAS QUALITY OF THE SCORE. SOME OTHER BRIEFS ARE: PATRIOT, AMISTAD, SW (ALL), JAWS AND VERY MUCH MORE....
