Hans Zimmer Work reviewed

Hans Zimmer, you may not know who this man is, but he is one of the most respected and impressive composers known when it comes to movies. He is responsible for the Pirates of the Caribbean films score. Like the classy and simple Jack Sparrow (Excuse me Captain Jack Sparrow) theme you may hum whenever you hear it. Or the big-hit movie The Dark Knight. If you have seen the movie, you'll remember the scene where the Joker puts the knife in a guys mouth and tells him a story. Hans Zimmer used a knife to scrape on a guitar to make the growing intensity as you wonder whether or not he'll kill the man. He also won an award-winning score for the Lion King for the recognizable theme at the beginning of the movie we all remember.
My favorite piece Zimmer made is called Discombobulate from the movie Sherlock Holmes. If you have not heard this piece, I would highly suggest along with many other ones ha has done. What I like about Hans Zimmer is that his music always sounds good but there very different from each other. If you know the Composer John Williams (Star wars, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, Jaws) his music is good, but it all sounds very similar. Hans Zimmer has also done movies like the prince of Egypt, Inception, The last Samurai and The Davinci Code. He even did music for the big hit video game Call of duty Modern Warfare 2. Whew, that's all I have to say, see ya. By:J

  1. Hans Zimmer sounds like a watered down version of John Williams, but the post gave good information.
