Advantages: Great choice of tracks to accompany the film
Disadvantages: No Beatles (revoution/helter skelter etc!!)

You have to admire Francis Coppola's nerve - using everything in his record collection from The Doors to Richard Wagner to accompany his breathtaking vision of the Vietnam war on acid. From the opening scene, with his brilliant use of Morrison's 'The End' you instantly get the feel of this movie, you aren't in for an easy ride. It does seem though that most of the time music is actually played on transistor radios by the marines or it is actually ... Read review

Advantages: Some excellent. modern songs.
Disadvantages: Many of the songs are unknown.

The Tomb Raider album is one of the best movie soundtrack albums of the new century. It has a great blend of songs, ranging from the quick and slick rapping of MC Neutrino to the high-pitched voice of Bono from U2. I recommend this album to any potential buyers and if you have seen the movie you will notice some of these songs played in the background of some of the fighting scenes. Here is a review of my ‘top 5’ in order of preference: ...
...the official theme music of Tomb Raider and is a really catchy song, it suits the film and is a very good song maybe to start of a disco with, a good dance song and would be a good contender to start off a disco with. 04. Devil’s Nightmare by DJ Oxide and MC Neutrino, a favourite of mine purely because I would practically die for Oxide and Neutrino, they’re awesome or in Oxide and Neutrino language ‘Da Bomb’. This song is ... Read review

Advantages: brilliant track list
Disadvantages: age of songs and expensive

Having been a big fan of the film, I opted out of buying the soundtrack origionally due to wanting to wait for the DVD release and not having much money to throw around! Having gotten the DVD and watched it a number of times, i changed my mind. I wanted to listen to the music - especially the final track, 'I believe'. Having now bought it I'm really pleased with it. Yolanda Adams' I believe is as gripping as it is on the film, and all I want to ...
...know the dance too!! There are a few other songs in there that I really like aswel such as Blaque - I'm Good and Tamia - It's A Party, amongst others that are the perfect warm-up tunes for going out! Bought for £11.99 off of play.com it wasn't as cheap as I expected, but saying that I couldn't be bothered to shop about so just went for the first price I saw! Prehaps not worth that amount of money now - considering you can buy some chart CD's for ... Read review

Advantages: Well chosen tracks that ellicit an emotional response every time
Disadvantages: Just not enough even with 16 tracks

This is one of those rare soundtracks that really pulls together a host of highly bankable artists without any of them really stealing the show. Whoever had the happy job of deciding on the soundtrack for this film either has excellent taste or just plain old understands how to put together a truly great collection of music. As a result of buying this sound track I have gone on to buy CDs from artists like Hootie & the Blowfish, and Sinead Lohan ...
...but for their inclusion here and I have to say I have not been disappointed. The film itself, unusual for its anti-hollywood ending, was noteable in the fact that none of the tracks pulled attention from the story line or stole the scenes and to be honest the best way to enjoy the soundtrack is separately. This isn't a complaint. It's just a fact that the pieces have been so well chosen that they blended perfectly with the film - something that really ... Read review

Advantages: Dancing
Disadvantages: No organized plot

WOW love this DVD cannot get enough of it. It's quite different to the first though.More dancing, BETTER dancing. I was watching this with my sister and my friends I just can't get enough of it. It's one to watch if you're either at home with friends or partner. If you like films such as Oceans eleven and thrteen then you'll love this. Though the dacing is good, wait no good is an under statement it's FABULOUS but it's got no organised story plot ...
...Definitely one to watch. It's aimed at teenagers more than grown adults. I would most definitely recommend this to any on to watch either on a night in. all in all i love it for me the film is the one of the most compared to 'save the last dance'. ... Read review
