Yup, me too. Since he joined the Disney Family (Marvel, Star Wars..), his tracks sounds identical, generic AF
I think he's done great work on the Apes and Mission: Impossible movies, but his Marvel stuff is weak. Dr. Strange in particular, where it just sounds like B-sides from his work on Star Trek.
I think Giacchino is like most composers. He needs to have a good rapport with the director to produce something great. I suspect he didn't have that on a lot of the Disney projects. Marvel is known for being very producer driven and he was a last minute substitution on Rogue One, which was a notoriously rocky production. He always brings his A game with Reeves. Zimmer is the same. We all complain about his work on a lot of projects being generic, but Zimmer always brings his A game when working with Nolan.
