For me it had been better to pick less well-used actors than Jason Momoa, Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem etc. Just robbed it of some of the mystique I think.
Unless you're a studio onto yourself, there's no way you can get $150M+ of funding for movie with only no-names as leads.

I promise it's worth your time. Being honest, I fell in love with the score before I even knew it was Zimmer's, and once I found out, my first thought was "of course."
To each their own, but if you want an idea of what went into the score, that video above is insightful.
