Honestly, Doyle is probably the most underrated composer working today. He can elevate even the most crap-tastic movie with his bombastic score (case in point – Eragon), and basically, the man can compose like nobody’s business. To think that Michael Giacchino had ruined the legacy of his amazing Rise of the Planet of the Apes score so much, yet it his him who gets tons and tons of work while Doyle is being hired virtually only by Kenneth Branagh, is pretty much criminal in my eyes.
Rant over.
Interesting thoughts, I have to disagree though. I don’t think Doyle is one of the better composers. I like his Planet of the Apes score, but I think Giacchino outdid him easily. Overall I think Giacchino is a way better composer. Of course, thats just my opinion.
Even though I disagree with you, I like how you worded your response. I respect that and your opinion as well.
I do also think he is shamefully underrated – you only need to listen to his scores Frankenstein or Great Expectations which I consider two of my alltime favourites.
