Not Mr. Big

It starts out pretty wild but becomes much more "classic Williams" at the end (similar to JW string counterpoint writing in Hymn to the Fallen or more specifically the end of Somewhere in My Memory)

It's a very purposefully spotted score, where the placement of music can say just as much as the music itself. There are a lot a cues that really "open up" when viewed in context such as New Home. Which is a shame since it seems like a lot of people (here included) just plain didn't watch the movie or watched it once and declared it "Spielberg tripe" or whatever

It's one of Williams' most simple and elegant melodies. Sure it's simple enough that another composer could eventually happen upon something like it while writing in a similar style. That doesn't make it any less of a well-thought out and heartfelt expression from Williams as an artist. Film music discourse too often devolves into reductive "note counting".

I don't really care about some YouTuber giving it a negative review. Kids say stupid shit

"He went off to live with the monkeys" *Echoey monkey screech plays in the sound mix*

I honestly kind of like the sound of it (not unlike the way I like TROS) so it's promising to me

Huh, I wonder if JW will repeat the

Can't wait for the next one!

I screamed when he showed up in the trailer

It is those things but I also like some of the character beats and some of the broad strokes storytelling And it has some great JW themes

TLJ (and to a lesser extent TFA) online reaction was a sign of things to come. It's like an industrial complex of feigned outrage that can't be stopped

It reminds me of a classic shitty (but still has entertaining) movie I'd watch in the theaters as a teen, like X Men Origins Wolverine, or Land of Lost

I hope Indy dies

Me too, it's so shitty

Can't wait!!

"Ford dons his iconic hat to the strains of John Williams' stupendous refrain"

I'm willing to bet nobody's going to say anything about the score except how it uses "the stirring, iconic titular march". Critics very rarely comment on the actual specifics of scores like this

Twin Peaks The Wire (I was so grossed out by the name Snot Bogey that I quit the show after e1)

Wake me when they do University

I feel like quotes non-withstanding, it fits in pretty well with the "comedic chase cues" from the series like Basket Game and The Motorcycle Chase.

Being able to control the camera while filming rather than planning it all out in storyboard like usual with animation I believe Spielberg has talked about how he likes being able to make spontaneous in-the-moment choices in terms of shot composition

2D Tintin wouldn't have been nearly as good because Spielberg wouldn't have been able to use the virtual camera system (he gets some crazy shots out of this)
