Andy 4,284 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 47 minutes ago, Not Mr. Big said: My unpopular JWFan opinion is that there aren't any Spielbergs where Jerry Goldsmith would have written a better score than JW What about Kick the Can? Actually, fun to imagine Williams doing Twilight Zone the Movie. That’s not a knock on Jerry’s score, which is Top 5 Goldsmith for me.

I can already hear exactly what a JG MR would sound like though. His action style was so locked-in at that point, and not always for the better Schilkeman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,655 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Actually, I love that era of Goldsmith's action music, it's my favorite from him. So although it probably wouldn't have been that different from other scores of his from that era, I'm certain that I would like it JTN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hate the sampled vocals in that score, but that is one of the reasons I... (here comes my unpopular Jerry Goldsmith opinion) ...think Congo is a far, FAR superior Goldsmith score to the much-beloved (IMO overrated) Ghost and the Darkness. I love the theme he did for Lebo M and his group, even though I admit it took a little while to grow on me. It's Congo that shows Goldsmith could have written a great Amistad score, not The Ghost and the Darkness (which is more Rudy than Africa in its sound, even giving credit for the sampled vocals).

If for nothing else, the first film is way better for the Brody-Hooper-Quint trio and the constant Quint-Hooper banter. Oh yes, and the first film was directed by Steven Spielberg.
