4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent but missing a little too much, July 8, 2000

This review is from: Small Soldiers: Original Motion Picture Score (Audio CD)

The soundtrack for Small Soldiers was able to perfectly fit with the movie. The themes were simple yet effective and the "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" renditions added a good touch to the action with the Commandos. My only complaint is that it is too short. It's only 30 minutes and length, leaving a great length of music unreleased. The track names were sometimes confusing. Aside from these minor flaws, the soundtrack is still a great buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Score, Bad Release, February 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Small Soldiers: Original Motion Picture Score (Audio CD)

The score for Small Soldiers is superb! Tracks 1, 3,4, and 9 are amazing! Bold military marches sets the mood for this also enjoyable film. But on flaw remains. The release for this score was done none other than score stingy Varese Sarabande. There is a good amount of score left out on this CD. Such as company mougle Gil Mars theme, which I rather enjoyed, is missing in the release. Of course Sarabande is known for 30 minute releases. I.E. Air Force One, Deep Blue Sea and Dante's Peak. Which contained huge amounts of good score left out by penny-pinching Varese Sarabande.

Hopefully in the future, a not-so-stingy record company will release extended versions of this and other scores released by Sarabande.

4.0 out of 5 stars Return to the Goldsmith's Old Style, December 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Small Soldiers: Original Motion Picture Score (Audio CD)

A very good soundtrack, but too short. A great inspiring collaboration (Dante-Goldsmith)! All music of Joe Dante's movies are very good! Track #1 is the best in this CD.
