Customer Rating: Summary: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull by John Williams Comment: Good, but not as good as I hoped for. Of course the expectations were high, but not really convincing. Customer Rating: Summary: If adventure music has a name, it must be Indiana Jones... Comment: John Williams rarely strikes out, and he has definitely not in this latest composition from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
The Indiana Jones theme is what everyone remembers. I would rank it as one of the best motion picture themes. The rest of the soundtrack is very good. There is nostalgia woven throughout this soundtrack. Marion's theme is back and is found in several of the tracks, whether it be a a few seconds or not. Some of the Last Crusade music makes a return as well, at very appropriate times in the movie. I think it's an indication of how well the composition is by how well you are moved by the music and this made me recall all of the fond memories of Indiana Jones moments. There are some rather different themes at play but very much in tune with the theme of the film.
Until the other 3 soundtracks get re-released, this is your best chance to have the Indy theme. Customer Rating: Summary: Nothing Distinctive in this one.. Comment: John Williams is by far the most accomplished and successful composers in Hollywood..I will stand by that till my dying day. Unfortunately, IJATKOTCS is not one of his greatest works. A beautiful nostalgic opening with "The Raider's March" is about as good as its gonna get with this one. Unlike the Star Wars series where each character has his/her very distinctive theme music that would literally stay in your head the rest of your life, this piece of work (though technically sound) really has nothing signature about it. It quite frankly left me bored by the end. Very different from the music of its predecessors, which did not really surprise me at all considering the film itself doesn't come close to the Original Trilogy either.
The main reason I bought this album was because the previous 3 are impossible to find today and I really wasn't too keen on missing a 4th time round. Nothing Distinctive here! Customer Rating: Summary: Indie Jones still delivers the sounds Comment: The soundtrack to Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull is again written in the old hollywood action adventure sound, and we again thank you for it. Indiana Jones' music hurries you thru from one threat to the next but takes the time to let it all sink in with the music taking you from one cressendo to the next. Without it, Indie would just be another 5 letter word. See the movie, but make sure you buy the soundtrack! Customer Rating: Summary: Same Old Themes But Still Great Comment: This score brings back familiar themes from the first soundtrack. For some, this might be a disappointment. Personally I like those cues in the first film, I think they are quite wonderful, and it's a pleasure to hear them again in the new film. Nostalgic, enjoyable, and recommended.
