What do you personally think of the score - as heard in the movie?
What I read about the creating process did not really mirror the result in my eyes.
Zimmer claims that he invented something new and very special for the world of dune but
for me the score - as heard in the movie - was somehow only repetetive, loud and clische (arabian sounds + the desert, arabian/oriental sounding vocals + the fremen)
One nice thing was the rhythm drums on the harkonnen planet. That was kind of nice but anyway I missed some sort of themes in this music.

I found the score took away from the film, completely bombastic. Not special and agree with Theboon's ear piercing comment. Really unpleasant at times.

Just received a Golden Globe. So poor judgement....

Cant understand the hype:

he is totally ripping of Ennio Morricione "once a time in the west" blending it with arabic cliché notations.
Don't know why everybody still thinks that this is exotic and new... Showing desert and playing arabian sounds is
all too much of cliché for me.
