Yes I know, but with this score, it appears less often, I dont think that its a wise move as Indy has been absent from our screens for nearly 20 years. I thought they would wanna use it as much as possible.

Oh and at the end of the 'Finale' Track (08:15) there is a brilliant new arrangment of the Indy Theme, just a shame it wasn't included in the film itself.

[stamper]

I actually like it, it's better than the Bond them playing everytime 007 just walks in Brosnan movies, or get in the car, or run, or turn his head...

[Johnboy007]

They made a point of using it less in Last Crusade (or so the liner notes say). Everybody knows the theme and they used it throughout Raiders and Temple. It makes sense that they would continue the trend with Crystal Skull.

[Harmsway]

Not at all memorable, a few good bits though.

I agree with that assessment of the score, but unlike you, I thought the Raiders March made plentiful appearances (almost as much as the RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK score), and I'm curious as to why you think "The Adventures of Mutt" is "disgraceful." It's not memorable, but I didn't think it was at all bad.

[DamnCoffee]

Sorry for my critical reception over the score, I'm just pissed off that the Indy Theme is used in the trailers more than in the film itself.

[Royal Dalton]

Well, going by the samples, the music sounds good to me. Aside from the usual Indy stuff, it seems to have quite a bit of a classic horror film vibe about it. Very reminiscent of the scores for Jaws 1 & 2 and Dracula in places.

Yes, that's cracking isn't it? I wouldn't thought I'd be happy with a mucking around with that theme but it works brilliantly.

I'm still listening to the rest of it, but I'm liking it so far. I do like the Crystal Skull theme- I think that's going to grow on me a lot. Already I'm prefering this to the majority of the new Star Wars scores.

As for the lack of Raiders March; I don't think it's much less than we hear it in the others. And don't forget- it's likely this isn't all of the music from the film; perhaps there's even a few extra bits in the actual movie.

Now, what about those Ark and Nazi themes in Spell of the Skull, eh?

(incidentally, I've preordered the CD, so I don't feel too guilty about downloading this)

[marktmurphy]

Actually; now I've listened to it I'm a little confused- the Raiders march is quoted in most tracks in some way it seems to me. Slightly more than most I can think of; certainly more than the Last Crusade score.

is the score on Itunes or somewhere else? I'm anxious to hear it

I don't think it's on iTunes.

Agreed. The Raiders march gets a decent amount of play. Sounds about right. Besides, I'd hardly want the theme blaring ALL the time. I'm most disappointed at the lack of exciting new material (the crystal skull theme is nice, but it's hardly up there with some of the other secondary themes Williams has composed for this franchise).

[Shadow Syndicate]

Not itunes, amazon. It's only like a 20-30 second clip of each track however. I thought Mutt would have a 'cooler' theme, with him being the hardcore switchblade wielding greaser.

It will be released on May 20th. Until then, Amazon mp3 is the best you can do for previews.

[Arbogast777]

There's also different samples than what Amazon has HERE

Look if anyone cant wait for the score to be released. I have details on how to obtain it, so just contact me if you want it.

[sharpshooter]

Fairly decent artwork there.

[marktmurphy]

Yes, I do like the whippy one.

I saw a fun 3D cinema poster thing online which had that swinging Indy cut out and swinging away from a bunch of natives, which were on the main bit of cardboard behind him. Looked great.

Actually after having another listen, the counter melody appears in the Jungle Chase.

Thanks for the TV spots- I'm almost not sure I want to see any more now- that bit with the water makes me feel almost spoilt! Weird because any other film would have shown much more of itself by now and I wouldn't feel spoilt at all!

[jaguar007]

Whooo Hoooo! I got tickets to an advance screening to see it on Tuesday night. I can't freakin' wait.

Very nice, jaguar007!

I may have to wait until I go home in mid-June to see it because I don't have a car and therefore can't get off campus to go to the theater. There's a small theater close to my school but it's an art house.

[box]Lucas: 'Indy 5' a Possibility

George Lucas tells me it

[sharpshooter]

That might work pretty good actually. River Phoenix would have been a great successor to Ford if it was ever to happen. I'd have to see how I like KOTKS before they start talking of an Indy 5 though.

[DamnCoffee]

I dont really know what to think of this, How can we have an Indiana Jones movie without Indy. And I really think it would be a real let down for Ford to be a Connery like character in Indy 5.

What should happen is, having KOTCS be the start of a new trilogy with Harrison as a more older, wiser Indy. The last in the trilogy should be a really dark movie and ending with Indy getting killed off. Then and only then should Shia take on his fathers work.

Oh and btw, can Indy be killed off, as he drank the grail in TLC which made him immortal.

[Loomis]

I have an idea to make Shia [LeBeouf] the lead character next time and have Harrison [Ford] come back like Sean Connery did in the last movie. I can see it working out.

*Yawn* That's great, George. Wow, no one in fandom saw that idea coming, did they?

[Icephoenix]

Oh and btw, can Indy be killed off, as he drank the grail in TLC which made him immortal.

He's no longer immortal. Once a drinker of the grail has passed the seal in the temple of the crescent moon, the effects wear off ("the price of immortality").

As for this Shia 'idea' - I hate it. Either make an Indiana Jones movie with Indiana Jones or don't make one at all. Have yet to see the film, so i'll reserve my judgment on Mutt - but at this point I have no interest at all in a film where he's the lead.

[Royal Dalton]

Will somebody please kick George Lucas in the nuts for me?

Here... I find this quite amusing.
