I've thought it over and this is my conclusion: people are free to like what they like and I quite liked the haunted house movie but with dinosaurs instead of ghosts.

Good talk.
To be honest with you the only part of the film that I though was interesting and inventive was the "monster in the haunted house" sequence. Just wish it was in its own film outside of the Jurassic Park universe.

BTL: You worked with Matt and Colin Trevorrow (Jurassic World director) before, so are you generally there from the beginning of their projects and writing any cues or themes in advance?
Giacchino: No, not often. I thought for this one maybe I would, because I had the time, but then I decided to re-shift where I spend my time. I’m usually around, because we’re all friends, so I know what’s going on. We talk to each other through the production. I’ll check in with them, see how they’re doing or in normal times, I can go to the set and just visit, but not so much for work other than to get a feeling for what’s happening. Usually, most of the work, 99% of it, happens in those final stages where there’s a version of the film that I could watch, I can look at, and I can start understanding sort of what what they’re going for and start with that. At this point, it’s more just fun for me, where I can just check and see how they’re doing.
BTL: I would think that with Jurassic World: Dominion, you could at least write some themes, since it’s your third movie and you already have some sense for those movies?
Giacchino: You could normally, but the truth is in normal times, I’d probably be in the middle of two or three other films right now. I wouldn’t have the time to do that, so they line up against each other, and you go, “Okay, this one’s done, what’s next? Bring on the next one.” This would have been one of those times where I could have done that, but then I really just felt the need to spend some time on my own things.
The score is being recorded in London today, 14 months before the film opens
Scoring @JurassicWorld Dominion in London from my studio in LA this week. Strange way to do this but it’s working great. We have @colintrevorrow with boots on the ground in the UK watching the incredible London players do their thing.
Is that you saying you don't like the previous two MG scores, spin? I, on the other hand, could quite easily listen to and enjoy both scores back to back without any encouragement of money AND look forward to his 3rd score in this series. No, they ain't at the level of the original John Williams scores* but compared to many, many new scores I hear these days, they shine like a beacon above them.

*What are? (rhetorical)
I agree. While I like them very much JW's are far superior.
I doubt this might happen, but with a bevy of critters on the loose, I'd love to see a return/glimpse/cameo of the warmest, wittiest character so far unheralded... Spinosaurus Aegypticus. I got such a kick out of him, every time he was onscreen. Kind of like Danny Kaye. (in an apocalyptic wasteland wielding an axe... you know...)
