Point taken on mistaking Oppenheimer's patently generic score for a Zimmer work. I actually enjoy Nolan films, otherwise I wouldn't go to see them.
Klaus Badelt (who wrote the completely - IMO - non-piratical theme to PotC... seriously, could have been in the Rock and it would have made no difference) and Steve Jablonsky both came out of RC, and both write music that is indiscernible from the atmospheric, non-specific stuff that Zimmer has been making for 25 years. Everyone Zimmer has influenced sounds like they compose by smearing a varnish of LOUD around the film.
I grew up listening to HZ, he has reached incredible heights at times. But right now he owns a music factory that is 99% operated by other people, and puts his name in as composer of primarily others' work. Yeah, it's the contract they signed, but I don't think it makes him a great composer.
