Jurassic Park. I think wrote a tuneful theme, but it's so damn heroic. Who/where are the heroes? The people running for their lives or the park residents who are chasing them?
Well there are two main themes. One I consider a paean to the majesty of the animals that seemed to have inhabited the earth longer than we have. The other seems a mock celebratory theme park music whose irony becomes more evident as the movie moves along. Do not hear any of this heroism you say is there.
I don't think it's meaningful saying any score is overrated. But if I had first heard the Jurassic Park themes in an Indiana Jones movie, they would have felt right at home. I never found the fanfare theme used ironically, but next time I see it I'll keep that idea in mind.
I too was put off by the Jurassic Park themes originally. I was a big fan of the book and expected the score to be more like, well, The Lost World score. It's what you bring to a movie as much as what you get out of it that influences your reaction.

Anything with the Raider's March in it. Eek!
That's why I prefer the sequel scores. Less of that annoying SW clone.

THE OMEGA MAN.
I expected more from composer Ron Grainer, who wrote a wonderful musical, “Robert and Elizabeth.” But none of it appealed.
However, everyone else around seems to love it.
Go figure.

Most of Danny Elfman's and Jerry Goldsmith's work.
I probably tend to agree with you.
Although, to say that around here about the Holy G. is like announcing I enjoy spitting on the cross daily.
And I’m not even a Christian either.

I think every score is correctly rated, so there are no over- or underrated scores.
