Jaaaackified

I saw the film earlier today. I can only say if it is better, it is only better in the slightest sense.
The story tries to go to every direction possible but ends with going nowhere at all. The result is if this one is removed, the story can still go on. The only thing it does is telling you what the secret of Dumbledore is, which takes roughly 5 min in a 140 min film. 
 
It is completely unnecessary to even shoot this one and it is even more baffling seeing Warner abusing Hogwarts and sidelining Newt

For a forum that generally takes Joe Kraemer's words seriously, I'm surprised no bothered to mention the fact he did actually say in a recorded interview that Giacchino was one of the people he could say still wrote everything by themselves.
 
Which probably used to be true, since that was years ago, and this industry has presumably gotten so ruthless to where he has to be more reliant on additional composers to meet deadlines.
 
(And that's not even getting into the speculation regarding if someone like Tim Simonec was the one pulling all the strings in his earlier work).

"ghostwriter" is a term ONLY used for people who write music for another composer and then are NOT credited for doing so
 
Giacchino has used additional composers - Andrea Datzman, Griffith Giacchino, Curtis Green, etc - but they are credited.  And I mean credited in the films, and ALSO on the OST albums (if any of their cues are used on the OST album).  Additionally, they get full cue sheet credit, as the correct composer turns up when searching GEMA/SABAM/BMI/ASCAP/etc.
 
Now, He may ALSO used ghost writers at other times - who knows?
 
But in the case of Spider-man: No Way Home, Griffith Giacchino and Curtis Green are credited very clearly
 

 
That's not ghost-writing.  That's fully credited additional composing.

This is Joe Kraemer's reply on the R1 story (in the middle of his long thread of sharing thoughs on "why does it take four guys to score one movie")
 
 
 
 
One example that instantly pops into mind is John Ottman's Non-Stop. He only wrote themes/sketches while his assistant was responsible for all the "blood and flesh". I do not own the CD so I don't know what credits it says there but at least Ottman is the only one appearing on the soundtrack cover
 
 
Also one confusing case is Kevin Kiner
As a composer who often went on record and admitted his sons were a significant part of his composing process, he remains the only one appears on the album cover. and I do think "Music By The Kiners" would make a cool credit
