5.0 out of 5 stars The SCORE to Night at the Museum by Alan Silvestri., July 2, 2007

I was a bit shocked to read the review by "Fabian Hassel". This guy obviously doesn't know what a score is. Those of you who are movie buffs know that Alan Silvestri needs no introduction. The composer of Forrest Gump, the Back to the Future Trilogy, The Abyss, Predator, and The Mummy Returns, he is one of the finest film composers in the industry today. His latest work, Night at the Museum, required Alan to write pieces that would invoke a sense of wonder and adventure; he did so and the results couldn't be better. The main theme, heard in "Sunrise" and "Study Up on History" is absolutely SUPERB! If you want a great Silvestri score with a full orchestra then you won't be disappointed. However if you want a 1970's disco-fest, then this is not the CD to buy.....wait until they make a "music inspired by the film" CD or something.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Theme by Veteran Composter Alan Silvestri, March 12, 2009

I an not familiar with much of Silvestri's work, but his job on Night at the Museum was wonderful. My favorite tracks are 1, "Night at the Museum", 29, "Stage Coach", and 34, "Heroes Return". I recommend this soundtrack to any collector or fan of the film.

3.0 out of 5 stars Where's the beef?, July 11, 2007

By 

Stuart Paine (Arlington, VA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Night at the Museum (Audio CD)

Before buying this, I read the Amazon reviewer's remarks and doubted their veracity. I generally love Alan Silvestri's music - even stuff like THE PARENT TRAP, FATHER OF THE BRIDE and MOUSE HUNT, but she's right on regarding this one. There just isn't anything here to compare with his better efforts. I imagine these little clips work well in the film, but, having listened through the CD 10-12 times, I can't honestly say that any of the 30+ tracks has made much of an impression on me. The second of the two main themes is a near carbon copy of the "sail away" bit of "Orinoco Flow" by Enya. Given AS's immense talent, this one's a disappointment. If you're a fan, however, I suppose I should advise you to give it a try and decide for yourself.
