He used the Courage fanfare as a lead-in to his main theme. Just as Courage had used it on the original series, and just as Goldsmith used it. The Godzilla March is a wholly contained melody. Of course, he's a great composer and might bend and shape to fit in with his own original material. We'll see! I'm not unhopeful at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he used it quite a bit in the underscore as well (and as the end of the credits), and even used the full theme including the twinkly bit and main melody. Outside of the Main Titles Goldsmith only really used the theme in V, the uses of the theme in TMP were Courage composed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gkgyver 1,645 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Jurassic Park is John Williams playing one of his Top 5 most famous themes. And it's John Williams. He could have made a vuvuzela work in that scene. I don't think I've ever pretended to love Shore's really low key scores. Plus, a bit of a difference between using a piano for a quiet human drama scene, and freaking Godzilla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
