out that most of the theme are copied from JP1

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.
