Aside from the theme Star Trek TMP is just .o.k.
The brass in Star Wars A New Hope (1997 mastering) is too shrill to be listenable.
The Empire Strikes Back is the best score of the whole Star Wars Saga.
The Mummy is superior to The 13th Warrior.
Hans Zimmer is actually a great music artist and producer.
Craig Armstrong's Incredible Hulk is actually a very uninvented score.

Scrolling through, it seems that only truly controversial opinions on here are those about POSTERS and fans, not about film scores. I can't say I'm surprised, but I will add one more.
The real troublemakers on a board like this are not folks like, say, me who say "mean" things.
The real troublemakers are some of the very folks who complain about meanness and folks not being 'considerate' of others' opinions. This reveals something about the poster. Simply put, why should you care whether another poster is considerate or respectful of your opinion (short of outright personal nastiness)? I don't 'have' to respect your opinion--there are plenty of folks whose opinions I do not respect, and don't say a word to or about them. That's not the problem. It seems some people see themselves as victimized if someone doesn't give them feedback, pats on the back, or anything, and in another post will reference that opinion as one he doesn't care for, or something.
Similarly, the complaint about people thinking their opinions are gospel truth, when it's only an opinion. Why would you worry about this? What does it matter to you?
As is the case on an op-ed page--where no writer ever writes "In my opinion" because everyone KNOWS he's writing an opinion--these are opinions whether someone labels them as such or not.
Maybe some people have to get over themselves, but some of them are the ones who're always so worried about everyone ELSE's behavior.

John Williams never wrote a good score in his whole career!
He wrote 'Great' scores through out his career!

James Horner composed the best theme to a Star Trek film.

-A composer with an innate talent + a powerful pc and expensive sample libraries, becomes a SUCCESSFUL composer!
-A composer with an innate talent + an ongoing study of the art of music (history, theory, harmony, orchestration, composition etc. etc.), becomes a GREAT composer!

The Chemical Brothers should have scored Tron: Legacy.
Having seen Hanna, I think they should stick to their day jobs and just watch films rather than score them.
In an era of generic action scores, I find Tron: Legacy the most generic. No matter what order the tracks are presented in, it still doesn't tell a story. If it wasn't for the tracks that sound a little like Jean-Michel Jarre this score would have no personality at all.
I now a lot of people really like this score, but I'm just not feeling it.

Danny Elfman should have been nominated for Oscar for either Batman, Batman Returns, Nightmare Before Christmas, Sommersby & Edward Scissorshands and NOT for the ones he got nominated (Big Fish, Milk, Men in Black, Good Will Hunting)
