Nobody is perfect, my dear facehugger!
Not even YOR!

The largely positive reviews are getting me down I have to admit, am I finally out of touch with the mainstream blockbuster? (I'm only 26!). Having said that, I went to see After Earth tonight which I really quite enjoyed (and which the critics savaged), so maybe I just have unusual taste!
57% in Rotten Tomatoes it's not largely positive reviews. I agree with After Earth, though. Terribly underrated, both film and score.
I went into AFTER EARTH with an open mind but when the damn film sets up everything in the first 10 mins on how EXACTLY the finale act will play...it took ALL of the tension out for me. Also I feel the film isn't actually being savaged for poor reasons and most if not all rest on the Jaden Smith who MUST carry the film and simply cannot. Will Smith himself somehow lacks all charm and charisma and both fall flat.
More power to you if you enjoyed the film and score but both did nothing for me.
Shame about that Headphone track

You are free to dislike and making your own opinions about the Zimmer score but at no point do you or ANYONE have any right to tell a film maker that they know nothing about the choices they make for their film.
Totally agree.
In this forum I've read the most absurd statements about Nolan (few about Snyder), not to mention those about Zimmer and also filled my "ignore list", as I've never done before, with a big bunch of the most arrogant guys posting here around.
But - as good old Jeff Bond says - it's not an FSM thread if there are no trolls.
I like how bad taste is usually defended under the banner of "please keep an open-mind", "just your opinion" and "you have NO RIGHT to tell a filmmaker that he's doing a lousy job".
I'm not sure if we are on the same side of this argument truth be told but you right "bad taste" but by whom is this taste level made a standard?
Since I made the "you have no right to attack a filmmaker" comment let me clarify:
You can disagree and flat out hate a film for whatever reason you have but mind you, they are your reasons. For example if I find a film poorly written, I lay out my problems with the story but at no point do I have any ground to tell the writer he wrote his story wrong; I can state what I found wrong with it and what didn't connect with me or what I felt lacking.
Everyone can feel free to dislike this score and Hans Zimmer and the wall of sound or the dated sound or how boring it is. All are perfectly acceptable and honestly more power to you.
But how can anyone without personal relation to these two men attack them by saying statements that imply they themselves understand the music better then the man who created it and the man who commissioned it for "his" film? This is going almost beyond critic and as seems to be the norm for some here... it is just insulting to the artists.
What makes me laugh about this is if some of you who claim to "know better" actually were in charge we'd never get film scores that elevate or SURPASS the finished product since the composer missed the memo he was scoring a terrible film.

Bummer - I ordered the CD, although I do much prefer clean endings.[/endquote
I bought it from AMAZON.com and it comes with AutoRip which included for me a free digital download of the score and thankfully it is indeed a clean rip much like the iTunes version.

YOR gets quite amused to see how the vast majority of zimmerities are so touchy and insecure about their beloved master.
That show YOR that they are not very sure that their master is that good, otherwise they would never get so hysterical everytime someone with superior intelect bashes the abominable.
YOR, for example, loves Jerry Goldsmith but he never get angry when someone with bad taste say nasty things about him. YOR has a lot of good arguments to defend the master. So why get so mad?
YOR feel a little sorry for all the zimmerities. He can understand their pain.
Here, lets us all drink some good old dinossaur blood and be happy!
