Customer Reviews

He's Back!
I'm a huge fan of the previous 3 Indiana Jones soundtracks so I was really hoping that this would not fall short of it's siblings. Why was I ever worried?

Williams has done it yet again, delivering some of the best action cues I've heard in a VERY long time. "The Adventures of Mutt" is simply superb as is "Call of the Crystal" where we hear the crystal skull theme for the first time (an ingenious piece of music built around a simple 3 note motif that builds in all the places you want it to).

Highly recommended!

Yet Another Superb Film Score from Williams
Composer John Williams does an elegant job revisiting his classic "Indiana Jones" themes from the original trilogy, along with some well-written new music for "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". It was a most wonderful surprise hearing "Marion's Theme" from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" again. But I was quite impressed with the surreal "Call of the Crystal" with its almost otherworldly three note motif and "Irina's Theme", which is yet another superb example of "sinister" film music along the lines of a softer, but no less menacing "Imperial March" from the original "Star Wars" trilogy. While I won't rate this fine score as among John Williams' very best (e. g. "Schindler's List" and "Angela's Ashes" among others), it is still among his finest, and one worth listening to again and again.

Indy is back with a vengance
I was waiting for this soundtrack to arrive as I am a big Indiana Jones fan. I found it was as good as the others but as I bought this before seeing the film it was hard to visulise where the themes fitted in to the film.

John Williams always seems to do Justice to all the films he has scored my most enjoyable was the The Empire Strikes Back. I would say that in time this could be as good as his others. I also liked the way that John has kept a reference to the other three films.
