I do not hate Zimmer at all. I do believe he is a fantastic composer, able to do legendary work.
But I don´t like and despise his factory work, basically plastering the market for blockbuster action during the last two decades.
I also have the feeling that he is rarely trying hard enough these days, as if he´s content giving the sonic wallpaper that one expects from him.
That´s why I was so pleasantly surprised that the score snippet from the MAN OF STEEL trailer sounded different from his usual stuff. I´m looking forward to this score and (as always) hoping for Zimmer to get back to his earlier top form.
(REGARDING HENRY, PACIFIC HEIGHTS and BACKDRAFT are my favorite Zimmer scores, and I do like his DARK KNIGHT-trilogy (although there he seems to have been inspired by James Newton Howard to do something better than usual).)
Now, sir, that's a calm and composed view!
(Although I would certainly avoid the use of the words 'fantastic' and 'legendary' to describe his work and I sadly don't really believe we'll ever see him again reaching the quality that some of his scores had 20+ years ago...)
Whether you like the score or not, it's hard not to admit that Crimson Tide is a legendary score.
Yes, but it's legendary for its influence on modern film music - however effective it is in the movie, as a work of art you could never put this alongside true legendary scores by Goldsmith, Williams and so many other masters.

Crimson Tide, legendary???
Okay I understand YOR has saved the world on many occasions and knows more than the average hunter from the future, but can't YOR at least give credit to Crimson Tide?
In all seriousness, Crimson Tide is one of my all time favorite scores and whenever I see it brought up, I have to say it. As for Man of Steel, I'm really anxious to see what Zimmer comes up with!

I'm gonna have to disagree. I think you could put it along side legendary scores. It worked very well in the movie and still works as a separate listening experience. I think the movie helped push Zimmer's career along even further.

Sorry, strange looking logo, but all Hazimmer scores are ugly.
YOR cannot stand any of it.
But, well, YOR has superior intelect, so...

Yes, it worked in the movie. Yes, it works as a listening experience. Yes, it helped push Zimmer's career along. But to put CT alongside, let's say, "Planet of the Apes" or "Jaws"??
But, OK, we're not here to agree on everything...

YOR agrees with fake Kahn.
Almost all scores were influenced in a very bad way thanks to Zimmer's wall-of-sounds...

Give it a fucking rest already.
Kahn, I am laughing at your "superior intelect!"

The only thing YOR remebers about Crimson Tide is that it sounded like Hunt For Red October if it was composed by a hack.

It's just my personal taste because I love scores like Crimson Tide, The Rock, Broken Arrow, etc. I write to them all the time and I've built a big connection with them.
Where as stuff like POTA or JAWS aren't real big on me.

Ironic troll is ironic.
Just block the git. I added him to my ignore list nearly a year ago, and though I still see some of the text from his posts via those who quote him, I haven't regretted the decision.
I just blocked him. What an incredible relief! He's actually the only one on my ignore list.

At the risk of asking a dumb question ...
What's the difference between the two editions?
I'll want to see the film before I buy. Sometimes, I like Zimmer. A lot of the time, I don't.
