Jay 37,287 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Well, Jurassic World has the problem of the main themes not being that great. I love the Hoskins theme, and the theme for Owen's raptor squad, and the little silly theme for Owen and Claire. But the main theme is nothing special, neither is the family theme. They get the job done, but don't elicit any kind of excitement or interest in me... they are just kind of there. Contrast that to Star Trek Beyond, which has the great main theme, Spock theme, and Enterprise theme PLUS the AMAZING brand new Five Year Mission / Yorktown theme AND the FANTASTIC Franklin theme (used to great effect in Crash Decisions).. the Jaylay and Krall themes are just icing on the cake on of of all that. Then Spider-man Homecoming has a strong main theme with three sections that all get explored the entire score, especially in the action material, a Vulture theme that may be simple and derivative of his prirt villain themes but is EXTREMELY effective in the movie doesn't outstay its welcome on album, a nice little love them, and then a bunch of various montage and sneaking around music that really fleshes out the whole score and makes an extremely cohesive and satisfying whole. But then Doctor Strange and Rogue One and just blah. Very forgettable themes and action material. I think he was just burned out. I liked Book of Henry and War for the POTA for what they are, and I need to give Coco another listen. I'm really expecting to like Incredibles 2 and Jurassic World 2 a lot!

Kasey Kockroach 2,343 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I was questioning for a moment "Wait, why are we comparing Horner's Search for Spock to Jurass-...oh. Right." I sincerely forget new Star Trek exists. I do pretty much agree though. (Current listening) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,337 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Rewatched Back to the Future 2 and noticed two things, score-wise: 1. Devil's Dance/Arkansas Traveler is used during the Biff Tannen Museum documentary. Makes me wonder why they didn't add it on the BTTF2 set. 2. I'm Back has a really awkward/lazy ending. Why repeat that bit? Laziness carries over during end credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasey Kockroach 2,343 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 The more I listen even upon casual revisits, the more Lionheart becomes a contender for my absolute favorite Goldsmith score. Top 3, at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally don't like his brand of action but this one was fine. As for themes, I like all of them with the exception of Jyn's theme. But even that one seems like a nice subtle reference to some Dies Irae-based underscore in the original SW. Main theme from JW is lacking too but the underscore is quite good.
