Wojo 2,453 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I have never listened to The Mummy Returns in either OST or foot warmer. I'm trying on YouTube to see if it's worth a deaf purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 If I was an Academy voter, I'd have voted for Shawshank that year probably. But I do love the Forrest Gump score too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,667 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I like the suite but the rest of the score is so repetitive, with one short motif stated over and over again. I think it's one of those albums that is nice to have to find that cue you liked, but doesn't work well as a listening experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasey Kockroach 2,343 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 The end credits music, apparently. I wouldn't know, I want to keep it all a surprise.

His entire output is an endless string of fun yet painfully predictable scores that will never be mistaken for high art. They are exactly what they appear to be and his style has hardly changed since the beginning of his career. There is really nothing to "get" about him. He's a very definition of "reliable and solid Hollywood workman". And no, I don't see it as any type of slight. He's very good at what he does, even these days. Having said that, there are a handful of scores that seem to be a level or two above others. The Mummy Returns would be the best of this batch. Followed by Judge Dredd, two Predator scores and perhaps few others (I like his two schmaltzy scores for Zemeckis' two Christmas motion cap movies, for instance).
