I had the Secret of Monkey Island on a CDROM as a kid and the soundtrack of the original is burned deep into my brain.
Fun fact: you could put the game CD into a normal CD player, skip track 1 (The data track) and just vibe listening to the entire soundtrack while rollerblading.
I mostly agree with you, except I think Nicolas Cage gave it his all and was creepily interesting. It’s a shame they didn’t put his role in a better film.
