What's so bad about Giacchino anyway?
THOR hates him.

Giacchino comes in near the top of composers I would have preferred for this project anyway. Here's my list in case you were wondering.
1) Bear McCreary
2) John Powell
3) Michael Giacchino
4) Daniel Pemberton
5) Thomas Bergersen
6) James Newton Howard. Would be interested to see what his solo take on the caped crusader would be like without Zimmer.

Well, at least it was Balfe. Or Brian Tyler. Or Price. Or even Junkie XL, so it could have been worse!

I think this is interesting news and I'm pleased that Giacchino is scoring this. The negative attitude toward Giacchino is surprising to me. The man writes orchestral music with real instruments. He is currently one of very few people in the business that knows how to do this now. How can anybody claim to be a film music fan and not find something of interest in his music? As a film music fan, I celebrate any news of any composer who can write reasonably well written music with an orchestra that has some emotion and energy to it. Even Thor said he liked John Carter. Maybe Thor should wait till the Batman score comes out before he complains about it. I also think some of Giacchino's problem is he needs to get a recording engineer like Shawn Murphy to record his scores. Most of them have a very boxed in sound which contributes to the "clinical" sound.

You're right. I like JOHN CARTER (when I'm in the mood for it), and I think LOST works in context. The rest he's done is just 'The Emperor's New Clothes', and it irritates me from here to high heaven that people don't see what a hack he is. The irritation just grows higher for each franchise he takes over, like this one.
MG is a " hack"
But Micah Levi is a ....genius?

Thor, surely you enjoy Giacchino's work on Star Trek 2009?

It’s like The Bachelor for film scoring. Giacchino got the rose and David Arnold got sent home.

"Taking over the franchises?" Hans Zimmer has been droing out scores (or assigning them to his cost writers) for most of the non-MCU super hero films over the last few years. 3 Batman films, 1 Spider-Man, 1 X-Men, Batman V Superman, Man of Steel....get a grip.
Finally a current DC film with something less wallpapery, meandering or dour.
Giacchino will eventually stop being asked, as was Danny Elfman (and there was endless bitching about his doing comic book film after comic book film: "they all sound like Batman!!!"). In the meantime, here he is. He's not my favorite composer either, but His Far From Home score was one of his better efforts and a real joy. Both of his Spider-Man films were great. When he's feeling it, he's amazing. I've never heard anything from him that was less than merely uninspired.
I think the problem for me is, his Spider-man scores are as workmanlike as you can get.
Hope Matt Reeves brings the best out of Giacchino like War for the Planet of the Apes.
