Movie Reviews of NFL America's Game - The Super Bowl Champions - San Francisco 49ers Collection
Movie Review: Interesting perspective
Summary: 4 Stars
I grew up watching the 49ers and I remember them getting creamed by the Vikings - I wasn't old enough to really know about their first 2 titles. It was very nostalgic but a bit short. One thing that I did like were some of the behind the scenes perspectives. Although I do agree with some others, I have 49er highlight tapes - the ones that are the review of the season and I'm dying to get DVD copies. Movie Review: A fantastic buy for NFL fans
Summary: 4 Stars
If you've never seen any of the America's Game episodes then you are missing out. This is by far a very different NFL films product - much less of the frustrating super slow motion footage and more about the actual games themselves.
This particular product is a must-have for any 49ers fan. The 1981 DVD in particular is outstanding, but all 5 DVDs are of very high quality. One of the unique aspects of this set of DVDs is how they each compliment each other, and basically recap the franchise between the years 1979-1994. For example, the 1984 DVD picks up where the 1981 DVD left off, and talks about how the 49ers didn't make the playoffs in 1982 and lost in the NFC Championship game in '83.
The DVD also faithfully re-caps the Quarterback controversy of 1988, which brings me to the only bad thing I can say about this collection; the absence of Joe Montana. NFL films uses enough stock footage of previous Montana interviews to keep fans satisfied, but much like the fantastic Dennis Georgatos book Game Of My Life, Montana's absence is the only noticeable flaw, but a glaring one at that.
Is this enough to recommend against purchase? Of course not!! Even die-hard 49er (and NFL) fans will be reminded of some awesome highs and a few of the lows which they may have forgotten about.
My final example illustrates the in-depth nature of the DVDs: during the 1984 season San Fransisco went 18-1. Their one loss during the season? Week 7 against the Steelers. At the end of the game Pittsburgh was driving for the win, but San Fransisco was able to stop them on downs at the goaline, but on the 4th down play, Ronnie Lott was called for a penalty which, although later shown to be a bad call, gave Pittsburgh a fresh set of downs and helped them win the game. The DVD includes all of this footage, from the actual broadcast, but it doesn't unnecessarily dwell on mundane details. My point is that each DVD is packed with information, but they keep up a good pace to keep the audience entertained.
Movie Review: Great DVD Set
Summary: 5 Stars
If your a San Francisco 49er fan then you will love this dvd set! It takes you back to those great years with interviews from some of the players of those Super Bowl teams and video highlights of the season all the way into the Super Bowl. There are also never before seen videos of the team and players off of the football field!
Movie Review: A MUST HAVE for any 49er Faithful!
Summary: 5 Stars
Great stuff! really enjoyed the 'never b4 seen' material. Definitely a 'must have' for any who considers themselves a 49er Faithful! Only wish each dvd was more than a hr. long. But will be sure to watch these over & over; so glad NFL put this pkg. together. Only other dislike: WHY wasn't Joe narrating/interviewed???Movie Review: Great for NINERS Fans! Not WIDESCREEN?
Summary: 3 Stars
This was a great set for Niners fans looking to catch up on a little niners history. Each DVD flowed well and had some great commentary by some of the great niners. Only problems I saw was that some of the same footage was used in each of the DVD's. It only happend a couple of times but it made the DVD's seem rushed through production. My wife and I loved this set. It was like watching Rocky 1-5.
Amazon says it's widescreen but my set came standard.
