I strongly recommended fans of JP3 to buy soundtrack of JP1 as I found
out that most of the theme are copied from JP1

why must copy here and there? Where is your creativity in making MATRIX?

Hmmm... I think the entire point of him doing the soundtrack using music from the original two films was so that the premise of it being a Jurassic Park film would remain intact. If he had created different music, it wouldn't have been a Jurassic Park flick - it would've been a dinosaur horror film. Music, aside from the story, is one of the most useful links in a trilogy or series of this type; it is normally used during the opening credits to establish a connection to the films predecessors (i.e., Superman, Jaws, Indiana Jones). Just the fact that there is a new composer does not mean, and in fact should never really mean that a film should have an entirely different score. I thoroughly enjoyed this soundtrack, especially Dinosaur Man Ben. I think Don Davis did an excellent job of translating the music of John Williams,which in the previous two seemed to revolve around Human Achievement (JP1), and Human Folly (JP2). This track seemed to revolve around the Brutality of Nature, or the Triumph of Nature. It was very whimsical at points, and very dark at others; it did a very good job of distinguishing itself from the previous two soundtracks.

First, you have to think. Would a Jurassic Park movie be a Jurassic Park movie without the famous Theme, or original characters? No, it wouldn't be the same, no matter what you did with the story.

So, his repetition of the theme in good taste of keeping this a sure fire Jurassic Park movie. But, we are entitled to our opinions

I think that this movie MUST have the main theme by Williams. Without it, it just isn't a Jurassic Park sequel. But then, with the "great theme" available, new parts should be added, so that the entire album just isn't a repetition of the main theme. as my mum used to say, why waste money on soundtracks when all you hear are repetitions. well, she has a point.

Perhaps that's a good thing. Do you realize how old John Williams is? Both Jerry Goldsmith and Williams are near or into their early 70's. Any composer that can come close to their sound should be given a little bit of credit.

Yoy Retardddd! You can't have any Jurassic Park score without having the great themes from Williams' orginal. To leave them out would be stupid!

First, I have to say, this is a long time comming, seeing as this thread was started a few months back Okay, when this movie first went into production, it was well known that Williams would not be part of it since Spielberg was not directing, and many thought that James Horner would do the project given the relationship he holds with the film's director, Joe Johnson. Williams heard about this and specifically requested that Don Davis be hired on (what a feeling to know that you were specifically refered by John Williams!). What transpired next was Williams sitting down with Davis and note for note showing him how to orchistrate his music. I think in the end that turned out to be a bad choice. You don't always need the music to connect the movies together, only in a limited cappacity (just look at the first two Jurassic films, they have completely different scores). Take from this what you will, but I believe that Davis is a far more tallented composer than this score leads you to believe.
