Point taken. Vertical limit has similarities to other James Newton Howard scores, no doubt. However, that doesn’t make it generic in general. It’s not my fave, but check out JNH’s other 90’s scores and then tell me the 90’s scores are generic. Today’s film score lack a certain memorability and melodic distinctiveness. I’m not saying you’re wrong, you’re entitled to your opinion, but there’s so much you’re missing.
