On a sheer musical/skill level, Zimmer is amazing, almost like a Deity, and I would still argue quite original - but the progression of the overall sound tends to feel predictable in many ways. That's a more "zoomed-out" view, because up close, it's brilliance at play.
If you listen to his music by itself form one movie ST to the next you can see a trend. Honestly its about the only time I notice it. Otherwise he makes it fit the movie so well the experience is "Wow - that part of the movie was exciting and the music was awesome!"
Ugh - thats about as detailed as I can get this early in the mornign
Zimmer knows epic music.
