Luke Skywalker 1,791 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 i cant find differences between the raiders march concert version in this film and ROTLA, except in sound quality.in fact the holywood symphony did an excellent job, it sounds as the LSO performing.but of course you want to hate it so much that even a perfect performance becomes crap.On the other hand, Williams did bring us a new ending in the credits to freshen things a little. not the same boring thing from always.

Quintus 5,399 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I didn't want to hate anything about Indiana Jones IV, in fact quite the opposite. At the time I wanted to LOVE it more than anything else in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Luke, are you deaf? The LSO Raiders version of the march sounds like no other version in existence. The only difference is sound quality?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 All the outrage over KOTCS - wich IS a middling score - really was expected, since people always build up this enormous anticipation. What music could possibly live up to that? And given the movie, it still does its job commendably - i guess Spielberg encouraged Williams to quote former snippets to give the movie a feel of familiarity, just as Lucas did on ROTS.All in all, KOTCS is not that dull - there are parts of those beloved scores like FAR AND AWAY that are less interesting.

Faleel 5,326 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Crystal Skull kinda puts me to sleep.All JW music does.Luke, are you deaf? The LSO Raiders version of the march sounds like no other version in existence. The only difference is sound quality??Yeah, the first notes are played much more strongly in the LSO recording for one.The action music of Jedi will never be topped.Jedi had action music!?

Although I do remember cues such as 'Am I Beautiful' and 'Inside the Mansion' not being exactly riveting.From a story perspective, the CD does actually contain relevant stuff (to do with Oxley, and finding the skull/discovering its power). I guess Williams just found that quieter material much more interesting than many of us do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,488 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Usually, I take a dump before I listen to "Schindler's List", because I'd rather off-load naturally, than have it bored out of me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
