ChrisAfonso 186 Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 I like JP more than Jaws, too. Yesterday I watched Jaws 2 on TV and have to say, entertaining, but I also like Lost World better than that, too But I think that has to do with the generation thing some people already mentioned here. I grew up with JP, not with Jaws, and JP is far more exciting, enjoyable, and multi-times-watchable than Jaws.-ChrisP.S.: Regarding football, in our last game (the first one we won this season) our opponents did such a funny safety: a longsnap right through the goalposts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also grew up with JP and maybe that's why I like it more than Jaws although they are both FANTASTIC scores!Aghem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 Jurassic Park is totally a better score. Of course they're both brilliant and all...but it's just that the main Jaws theme consistes of mainly 2 notes!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris ChrusherComix 46 Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 See? I just don't get it. I love both movies. If one says one is better than the other, who cares? I was highly entertained by both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpigeon 3 Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 Though I love "Jurassic Park" and will always regard it as a contemporary classic and as an amazing action film, "Jaws" is one of the best films in the history of cinema. JP is simply a special effects movie with great action and an overall well-executed story. Jaws is brilliant in every way, the characters, the script, the story, which, in its particular genre, is arguably the best of all time, the atmosphere, the composition, the music, and of course, the directing far surpass JP. I will always regard "Jurassic Park" as a classic, but it doesn't hold a candle to "Jaws." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they're both brilliant and all...but it's just that the main Jaws theme consistes of mainly 2 notes!!! 2 very cool notes. JP has a dino theme of only 4 notes and Jaws has more themes than JP I might add to my last post.

Sheesh, you Jaws people take everything personallyIt's the effect the film has on you You become paranoid. LOL However, I believe JP has more Themes:1 - main theme2 - island theme3 - raptor theme/motive4 - danger/tension motive (as in #3, #11)5 - brachiosaurus theme (actually it's the triceratops theme)6 - Dennis Steals the Embryo Theme7 - Remembering Petticoat Lane ThemeThe most I have counted for Jaws as for now is six. If anyone finds more, feel free to post it -Chris, currently enjoying a JP revival, including reading the books, watching the movies and listening to the scores all day.

RomanticStrings 10 Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 I voted for JP because it got me into music, and it was the best musical complementation I have ever seen/heard for a film. It is also my favorite score of all time. Jaws may be famous, but JP is right up there with it.~Conor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quaver 0 Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 I'd have to say, even though Jaws is a better film than Jurassic Park, the score for Jurassic Park was slightly more exciting. The music for Jaws has a wonderful affect on a person if they're watching it, but if you're listening to it on c.d, it's a little bit boring!!!
