Anybody else really like Alan Parker's score?


I really like that new theme, especially that moody use of it, like when that baby shark dies.

The soundtrack is great. Not as good as Jaws 2, but overall a nice effort. Got me a copy of the soundtrack last year and I played it many times.

It's awesome.

Its abs awful...kills an already terrible disgrace of a sequel to one of the best films of all time...

Like it.....just like the sound design which sounds awesome for an '83 flick

Pfft. Nope. It made the movie sound like one of the Aiport movies. That is, like a turgid disaster movie.

Best thing about this movie, by leaps and bounds.

Agreed. There are obviously much better scores in much better movies, but having seen this at age 10... and loving the score since, it's always been a favorite.

Definitely the best part of the movie, outside of the animated Lou Gossett Jr. and what I now see as the most hilarious scenes with Kay and Mike talking to each other through the dive masks in blurbles and muffled "MMmmmmmMMMMmmMMM" sounds.

Didn't feel right with this movie.
Maybe switch to another movie that had a score that didn't fit right NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN.

Me too. Liked the score very much.

The soundtrack was too brass drive, not stringed like the original. It sounds like something from a Lifetime Network movie.

I thought it was merely okay, i.e., it supported the action adequately. The score I really like, other than Williams', is the late Michael Small's score for Jaws the Revenge, which took Williams' theme and put it through new, thrilling paces, as well as developing new thematic material.
