Yes, yes. Williams is a god, the rest is nobody. I think too Williams is overrated. It's not that he started to rip off from himself, so does everybody (Hans Zimmer very rare, but still).
His music is anachronic today. Yes, it's a good word - anachronic. He invented a pompous style (it is original, but so is Zimmer's) using orchestra's abilities to its most. I respect it, but I'm full of that. Williams' scores tire me. I don't have that problem with Horner, Zimmer, Goldsmith or anybody else.
I don't remember any Williams score that evoke any emotions from me, except of course the ingenious Schindler's List. I repeat it always when i talk about Williams:
Too many embellishments, too little melody.
And listen to Windtalkers. It's a great score.
