Anyways, without further introductions, since they are overrated, here's the man who gave you the music of many epic films you ever enjoyed.
Most people think Elton John did the Lion King soundtrack. Please though, his music is more appropriate for the musical portions of the movie, not that I did not enjoy them. I actually love all of Lion King's music, but the instrumentals do get me, and they were done by none other than Hanz Zimmer. Moving on.
Okay now, whatever you say, Pearl Harbor was still a good movie in my opinion. I enjoyed it to the fullest damn it. Seriously, what more could you ask for than tons of explosions mixed in with cliched cheesy romance?
Even now, Tom Cruise was the best non-Asian Asian I've ever encountered in a movie. You think that doesn't make sense? It's Asianception, accept it you people. Speaking of which....
Great movie, but Hanz Zimmer's music made it even better. Hanz really has a knack for that low growling sound in the music, hard beats (without what the kids these days call beats, those crazy kids), and a really strong momentum that gives any movie an epic feel. Try going to the bathroom listening to the Inception soundtrack.
Lastly but not certainly not the least, the Dark Knight.
It is iconic. Now when people think of Batman, they will certainly have this soundtrack ringing in their minds. They better have Zimmer for the Superman vs Batman movie, or I swear I will execute a precious Stradivarius right in front of whatever orchestra they hire (this is such a music-nerd statement that you have to have been in an orchestra once in your life to get it).
Once again, speaking of which, he also did the Man of Steel soundtrack.
It is a sombre turn for Superman I'd say. However, I love what they did with Man of Steel. It portrayed Superman as more than just a hero. He was a Super'man', in that he was still an individual, a person who is trying to cope with having to adjust himself to a world he was not born into, and yet still so physically different, that he has to become detached from the society he longs to be within. This soundtrack perfectly captured that emotional conflict he had going on inside him, and it really put Superman in a more relatable light.
Anyways that's a little heavy isn't it? I do like the heaviness that Hanz's soundtrack brings sometimes. It really adds to the weight of a movie.
So I'll conclude for now here, and next time I'll probably do an overview of his video game soundtracks when I run out of stuff again (to my utter glee of course).
This was, not a movie review post, but still the Dreaming Jukebox. Have a good night you people.
