Advantages: Fantastic opening track and good accompanaiment to film
Disadvantages: Some tracks are poor and does not contain freestyle sessions from film

I have to admit, I was slightly disappointed with this album when I first bought it shortly after watching the film (which I thought was fantastic). Firstly, the CD does not contain the freestyle sessions from the movie, which are, in my eyes, the highlight of the motion picture. Secondly, the overall quality of the tracks is not as solid as I expected. The album opens with 'Lose Yourself', which is sublime. However, the rest of the album fails to ...
...disappointing. 'Adrenaline Rush' could be considered a highlight, but isn't really anything special. Jay-Z appearing on track 7 lifts the competition slightly, but other than that this album isn't really anything special, and lacks the grit other rap albums have. If you loved the film and are a huge fan of Eminem then this is worth buying. The record is by no means a failure, but it could be better. It's a shame that a fantastic film about music ...

Advantages: Catchy upgoing 'happy music'
Disadvantages: music quality wasn't fantastic but when i put album on i-pod it improved

I loved the movie! So i you love a movie why not get the soundtrack? I bought this years ago in HMV for about £5 so i thought i got good value for money. I saw it on ebay for £1 however! I thought this was a good CD. My favorite was by far "Just the Two Of Us" by Dr Evil! It is so funny! I also loved the last song as it was the "Austin powers Theme" and it just makes you happy! Theres some old classics there for all you 'old-young' folk like Burt ...

Advantages: great 3 cd boxset with a variewty of great songs from awesome movies!
Disadvantages: hard to find a copy at the moment

...i have now purchased the Classic Fm at the movies: the sequel box set and the more recent ultimate collection of songs from the movies. I would recommend all 3, but would have to say that this one includes some of the more well known songs and films, but they are of course all extremely good! Disc 1 1. Superman: The Movie - John Williams 2. Back to the Future - Alan Silvestri 3. Apollo 13 - James Horner 4. Star Wars - John Williams 5. The Mission ...
...a variety of songs from classic and more modern films all performed at an exceptionally high standard! Worth a place on the shelf of any film or music fan! Price: I think this CD is not available at many stores ( i have looked on play and amazon and it is unavavilable) and it may been replaced by the new version: the Ultimate collection. However if you look around you may be able to locate it or if not then have a look on e bay - the prices are ... Read review

Advantages: Laughable, Enjoyable, Great Actors
Disadvantages: Laggy in parts, disappointing ending

When I first saw this movie advertised in the cinema I knew it was a Must See movie. I just bought this on DVD and it is absolutely hilarious in many parts, especially the recreation of Ghostbusters and Rush Hour 2! However the movie does have quite a few slow parts to it, and the ending was rather sudden and disappointing in my opinion, it didn't leave you with any answers so you are left guessing what happened afterwards. It is however one of ... Read review

Advantages: Great songs to listen to!
Disadvantages: The mixture of songs could leave you saying 'what?'

Even though there is only one theme song within this album, the album doesn't live to disappoint. It also rewakens old songs such as the Chubby Checkers's Twist. It has songs that you can rock to and songs that will just give you goosebumps. My favourite song has to be Snow Patrol's Signal Fire because it just hits something in your heart that makes me weep. it does give me the thrill listening to each song and if you don't own this album, get it! ...
