I haven't seen the movie yet, but I am thoroughly enjoying the soundtrack. I love THE ADVENTURES OF MUTT and the FINALE. The music here is performed with a jubilant enthusiasm and energy, and the variation of Indy's theme before it the finish is just terrific. Great job, Mr. Williams!

The lyrics, overall, are just god-awful. "Shivering" and "quivering" are about as bad as Prince's "If I gave you Diamonds and Pearls...would you be a happy boy or a girl" (I'm a huge Prince fan) when it comes to trite rhymes. It makes Horner and Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" sound like a stunning masterpiece. In an interview, even the Superman screenwriters (Leslie Newman and her late husband David Newman) said that they found the song "embarassing" (then again, they were wholly responsible for the dialogue and story of SUPERMAN III). Director Richard Donner really was off his rocker when he decided to incorporate Margot Kidder's voiceover.

I'm curious, whats the sound quality like? How can you praise the sound of the isolated score track and not know about these cues? They're on the same disc. Neil I got a DVD rip of the iso track Thanks to FSM, we now can get everything we want discussed in this thread...including the stuff (I presume) heard on the SUPERMAN II: THE RICHARD DONNER CUT.

I agree. That astounds me. This is music by Williams never, ever heard before and that it was used for Donner's SUPERMAN II warrants some sort of commercial release. Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere, but speaking of SUPERMAN, is anyone curious about the John Williams cues which showed up on THE RICHARD DONNER CUT of SUPERMAN II, and which have never been heard elsewhere before (save for Ken Thorne's orchestrations of those cues in Lester's SUPERMAN II)? In the use of williams score on S2 , there is very short unused music, when after the crash of the young sups space ship, he opens it , when the phantom zone explode, and the big question is : Who have composed the track of the moon encounters when Non crash the shuttle , this piece is located also during the fight in Metropolis ...Williams or Thorne ??? I think everything we hear on Donner's SUPERMAN II is conducted by Williams.
