Not sure about "forgettable". But I read/saw online that the theme for the live action The Lion King was very sloppily and poorly put together. And apparently Hans Zimmer had almost no involvement (even though his name is on it). Though how true it is, I do not know.

Honestly, I think Zimmer might be a good contender here. You can tell he put his all into Dune and No Time to Die but otherwise I wonder if he's just been slumming it.

The only thing memorable about WW84 score was that they just borrowed John Murphy's Sunshine score for one scene. (To incredibly embarrassing effect by the way). That might very well have been Patty Jenkins decision, but then the Top Gun: Maverick score (which I like a lot) heavily borrows from the exact same piece. (Don't believe me watch the YMS review where he plays them both in succession).

I really liked the theme from Maverick. Great evolution from the original in my opinion. But come to think of it, I didn't even remember WW84's theme until you just mentioned it.
