Movie Reviews of NFL Super Bowl XLII - New York Giants Championship DVD
Movie Review: GREAT DVD, But Amazon lists the title incorrectly
Summary: 5 Stars
First things first-- please know what you're getting. This DVD does NOT include the complete Superbowl. If you want to see the full game, there are other DVDs that offer that. The name of the DVD has caused a bit of confusion, but note that this DVD is actually called "Superbowl XLII Champions: NY". It is not called "NFL Super Bowl XLII - New York Giants Championship", despite how Amazon has it listed.
I can't fault the DVD because of a mistake made by Amazon, and most of the 1 star reviews you see on this site are doing exactly that.
This is a GREAT retrospective on an amazing season of football for the NY Giants. If you like the Giants at all, watching this DVD is genuinely uplifting, dramatic and emotional. This ranks up there among the best "feel good" movies I've ever seen, even if it's not technically a movie. The presentation is excellent, with a perfect mix of game highlights, sideline banter, drama and welcome touches of humor. The main documentary starts with a very brief segment about the disappointing end of the 2006 season, and then proceeds through all of the 2007 season, game by game. No, you don't get to see the full games, but rather the main highlights from each game-- all brilliantly shown in dramatic ways that capture the excitement beyond what a live broadcast can do, without ever getting distracting. Some of the regular season games are kind of rushed, I suppose, but overall, it felt perfectly sufficient to me. I think having TOO much detail for some of the less important games would just drag things down. By the time the documentary reaches the playoff games, things get a bit more in-depth, and the Superbowl game itself gets the most in-depth coverage of all (but again, it is just a summary, not the full game.)
There are several full game broadcasts included as bonus features, along with the Superbowl half-time show, and interviews/profiles of key players.
Bottom line-- If you were at all taken with the Giants' unlikely championship win, this is a great DVD to remember it all by. I watched it again last night, and it still grips me in a way that few sports documentaries can. Please just know that you are not getting the full Superbowl.
