Hans Zimmer in my book is hands down, a better composer. That guy writes epic scores, the kind that earworm you in a pleasant way.

Williams stuff has too many flourishes and key shifts. Its like listening to the audio gymnastics of a NFL national anthem singer, to me. Fingernails on a chalk board.
