This score is fantastic! (Johannes)
"some of these action cues COULDNT of been thought up by WILLIAMS???" Dude, are u kidding me? John Williams is a genius who verrrrry rarely creates a cue that doens't fit, infact I can't really think of any (Davis doesn't hold a candle to a LOT of composers and DEFINITELY NOT Williams)!!!! C'mon, I thought we ALL knew that . . . Davis totally destroyed the magic and compositional complexity that Williams created in the first JP by augmenting thematic material and adding to it his own horrible rendition of how he thought the themes should be concluded by adding a totally unfitting bridge and modulation, and TOTALLY clumbsily crashing through any frightening moments in the film by simply scoring loud noise with the verrrry simple octatonic mode. In fact Davis resorted to the typical, cliche octatonic theme for almost ALL of the scary music. Williams, however, employed stunningly complex progressions with the PERFECT balance of dissonance and harmony while always staying true to the core premise of JP and utilizing of the perfect themes and motifs that HE created. Don Davis reallllly screwed up here, Speilberg would of been appauled. This is the equivalent of a monkey sribbling all over Williams' music . . .and maybe pooping on it occassionally too . .
