The album features the film’s original music composed by Academy Award nominee James Newton Howard (The Hunger Games, The Sixth Sense, King Kong, Maleficent, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Signs, Raya and the Last Dragon).

Walt Disney Records will release the official soundtrack album for the action adventure Jungle Cruise. In short, I'm expecting - like RAYA - to make my own playlist of the highlights that weed out some of the rather generic stuff.

Gets a full metal workout in a flashback scene. Best part is undoubtedly the exotic, Latin guitar theme that opens the film - and whose chords are later revealed to be an arrangement of Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters" ("reimagined", as the end credits says, by JNH and the band members). JNH always does awe and wonder well, and this is particularly evident towards the end. And a little bit of RC elements thrown in. The heroic/swashbuckling stuff all seems like notes on a string without any heart (do NOT expect another "Escaping the Smokers" here!). I mean it's big and bold (plenty of fanfares and cymbal crashes), but no real thematic strength, IMO. The bland parts include the action music. James Newton Howard's score was - like every piece of genre fare he's done in the last 15+ years - highly uneven. No doubt inspired by the original Disney attraction. CGI is overkill, but production design is excellent.

Jesse Plemons does a hilarious riff on Christoph Waltz. So hokey galore! But entertaining throughout you always remain curious about the next setpiece. This is far more comedic and "light", i.e. Unlike Sommers, however, he isn't quite adept at treating the pulpy action with a degree of seriousness. It's Jaume Collet-Serra abandoning his usual Besson-inspired style, and trying to do Stephen Sommers-like aesthetics in a combination of THE MUMMY and THE AFRICAN QUEEN.
