And, it is not a bad representation of the novel.<br /> The second one has generally worse effects, a star duller than Doug McClure and a plot which, as you say, owes a bit to Beneath the Planet of the Apes, but which only vaguely resembles a combination of the second and third novels. The thing is, I like the second film a lot more. A very big part of this is down to the music by John Scott. Scott's score became part of my playlist: Music to listen to while reading lost world/Tarzan pulp fiction.<br /> I swear, if Scott had written a score for "At The Earth's Core", I'd probably watch the movie again.thingmakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14011048675050396438noreply@blogger.com
