It's just manipulative, monotonous, nonstop trilling/thumping/ticking for two hours and it never lets up, even in scenes where it's wildly inappropriate. Like, the old guy is unloading his ship back in England or Kenneth Branagh is chatting with his officers and the soundtrack's telling me there's a serial killer about to attack them all. Basically it's like if Jaws had the Jaws theme going for the entire film.
There's also the issue of volume, and idk if it's just the IMAX cinema I went to, but holy **** that was painful to sit through without earplugs.

Same. They just ran out of ideas and kept calling back to the previous films. It's a shame because they could have just made it an excellent two-part sci-fi series, but they just had to make it a trilogy.
