Lewya 360 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Which are Hans Zimmer's top 10 scores of this century so far? My top 10: Gladiator Inception The Last Samurai Interstellar Blade Runner 2049 Man of Steel The Da Vinci Code Angels & Demons Rush Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End I consider Gladiator, Inception, Interstellar and The Last Samurai much superior than the other six scores (all four scores would make my top 10 of all time Zimmer scores, the six other scores would not). The four weakest ones on the list are Blade Runner 2049, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Rush and Man of Steel. The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons are in the middle. The Batman scores are his most overrated efforts of this century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idril 86 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I love Kung Fu Panda but I've always figured the things I loved about it sounded very John Powelly and so I probably love it more for him than for Zimmer. Maybe I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher 350 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Oh it's Powell that makes the first two KFP's work so well, but I included it because Zimmer was involved, and because by default most Zimmer scores are technically collaborations. Plus it's damn good music anyway. idril 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,492 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Tricky. The 90s is my favourite decade for Zimmer (and most composers that I love), but there have been some spectacular Zimmer scores from 2000 onwards. It's very difficult to pick just 10 from an 18-year period, but I'll try. 1. THE DA VINCI CODE 2. Interstellar 3. Gladiator 4. Inception 5. The Last Samurai 6. Mission Impossible 2 7. Black Hawk Down 8. Chappie 9. Rush 10. The Lone Ranger Honourable mentions to MAN OF STEEL, BLADE RUNNER 2049 (even though it's mostly Benjamin's baby), HANNIBAL, SPIRIT: STALLION OF THE CIMARRON, DUNKIRK (but only in the movie; not as a soundtrack album). In other words, not a lot of original choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to bump Da Vinci Code off of mine to keep it at 10. I think it’s a fairly easy list, personally. Lots of good scores, but a handful of excellent ones and definitely a good chunk of poor ones (mainly the ones where his name is just on it). 12 hours ago, MedigoScan said: Oh right I forgot Hannibal I suppose I can replace POTC2 or TASM2 with that (or the Ring, they are both quite similar and dont get enough attention) Hannibal, The Ring, and The Da Vinci Code form a pseudo-Italian trilogy of sorts. All feature a common melody and I like to listen to them together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
