And Jablonsky is like Hans Zimmers right hand-and don't dis him he's good at his job!

what does that have to do with film composers? I respect engineers, nazi or not.

One could admire someone for doing the job of imitating Hans Zimmer's least interesting music well, but I don't regard it as a job worth doing. Jablonsky is one of the more imitative voices to have emerged from that music factory. At least figures like John Powell have an element of uniqueness to their composition.

No he's not. Hans Zimmer can write some pretty awesome music, Gladiator worked, the Lion King is great; Transformers isn't, simple as, the melodies are just boring and uninspired.

Klaus Badelt is pretty good, John Powell is good, Harry Gregson-Williams is good. Steve Jablosnky isn't.

I don't think so, the soundtrack is always recorded at the final stages of post-production, so something may have been composed but the ending would most likely have been cut before it could be recorded. The music in the videogame is not composed by Desplat but by Jamie Christopherson.

Chances are that he did write music for the ending. I mean he'd already written a theme for Lee too.
Hopefully that director's cut we're all pining for might mean that Desplat does get a chance to record it after all.

As for Jablonsky, he might be capable of much more interesting music, but I imagine that's not what they ask of him. The problem of being a Zimmerboy is that that's all they probably see in him. Anyway, he could just go and do something more individual if he really wanted to. As it is, he's not so much the problem as the studios are, in wanting these generic LOUD scores.
