kchuplis:
I've been doing some reading on this young composer and what people
emphasize again and again is his orchestration ability. How he uses a full
range of the instruments to greater effect than most composers out there,
which I thought was saying a lot. I think that is where scores begin to
sound generic. VERY interesting young composer. As I understand it V for
Vendetta the entire score is a slow build up to the use of the 1812 overture
at the end. I'd say if anyone could incorporate a theme it's him.

I actually really enjoy Doyle's score, but while JW did fine for the first
couple of films, I just don't think he is the right man for these later
ones. I bought PoA but really, I only like a few of the tracks.
