Just finished listening to this. Whoa, what a kick ass score! It's easily better than Debney's Predators (which I listened to again yesterday) and that wasn't exactly a slouch either. There's stuff Jackman does though that even Silvestri didn't do with his own material. The variations on the main predator theme intertwined into action cues was a terrific idea. I honestly would rate this score highly just because of those cues alone! In fact, this IS the best Predator score, after Silvestri's own. I honestly don't know if Silvestri himself would have even done better had he worked on this, so call this a blessing in disguise. Jesus, calm down, man. Show me a track to check out?

OK, Out Of The Cage is very modern Silvestri, with the Dredd-esque rhythms leading to a sorta cheap-sounding arrangement of ACTUAL Silvestri. Trying to mimic those very, very specific drum sounds was a losing game from the start, you have to admit. Like Giacchino trying to do jungle drums in Fallen Kingdom. On The Loose sounds like the Alf Clausen TV movie version of the first Predator for a long while, but it has its moments, I guess. Just sounds small, nowhere near as *big* as Silvestri could/would have made it.

Small??!!!! I don't know what are you listening to, but this is probably one of the best scores I've heard in a while, and it's just so enjoyable and very well written. I can't believe this actually features something so forgotten as counterpoint.

Like Giacchino trying to do jungle drums in Fallen Kingdom. Like Giacchino trying to do anything right in Fallen Kingdom. I strongly disliked that film, just everything about it, yes Giacchino's incoherent mediocrity included. They should have called it "Jurassic World: Save the Dinosaurs" and opened the film "With Love to PETA" Smh. I like Fallen Kingdom (the movie was bad), Giacchino did a really good work in the sequel, not same as the first one. In the other words, i have a blast with The Predator, maybe isn't quite as good as Jumanji (that score have a plenty of references to Silvestri), but really, really fun score.

I like both Fallen Kingdom and Jurassic World better than the original. Spielberg only made JP so he could get his obligatory mainstream blockbuster out of the way and make Schindler's List (the 'personal' movie he actually gave a hoot about) and it kind of shows. Though obviously, all of these are vastly inferior to Jaws.

I like Jurassic Park III better than all of them. 90 minutes of lean, monster movie fun without all the bloated BS of the other films.
