Has anyone else noticed that when they get back to New York with King Kong and put him on display, the orchestra conductor seems to be Howard Shore. It was only a glimpse, but I swear it was Shore

Yes it was Howard Shore and it was more than a glimpse. I found myself calling out his name... What did you think about JNH's score?

I bought it after I saw the movie. As always, people will complain over lack of themes, but it is a superb score. Actually, there is a love theme and several recurring motifs, but nothing very memorable upon first seeing the film. JNH is the man.

I'll probably be one of those people complaing about a MEMORABLE theme. I did leave the theater humming one of JNH's theme, but after awhile it just morphed into some Horner stuff (Beautiful Mind, The Missing) and some Newman stuff (The Green Mile)- so I can't remember it now. I'll probably like the score on cd, kind of like Batman Begins, but it would have been cool to get some better action material which conveys the sheer strength, size, and awe of King Kong. Kong didn't really need a theme, but he needed something us. So my complaint isn't really with themes it's with the nature of the music. It was just functional... -Carlton

Hmmm...I also have this kind of motif running through my head...though I can't remember how much of it is from Kaczmarek's Total Eclipse
