Summary: Excellent DVD...and for you complainers...
Review: I love this DVD. NFL Films does an absolutely terrific job in capturing the season...as well as the best Super Bowl ever.For those of you who wanted the whole game...NFL Films is coming out with something that will get pretty close. Head to [the website] and preorder Three Games to Glory. They say it really will capture almost every play in a condensed format...kind of like the video presentations Major League Baseball is now doing, if you are familiar with those. Looks like a good deal to me...almost every play of all three postseason games!

Summary: Bogus DVD
Review: This DVD is so bogus, the Raiders should have won that playoff game, this title should be marked with an asterik!! Not only that, but N.E. ended up winning only because the Steelers and Rams had severe off days! Next season, you can use this DVD to re-record next year's Super Bowl, which will be minus the Patriots! Goodnight Beantown!

Summary: An improbable season...a terrific DVD!
Review: As a transplanted (and longtime) Patriots fan who now lives in Packer Country, I couldn't wait for this DVD! NFL Films did an absolutely terrific job in assembling this video. Harry Kalas' narration and the radio play-by-play of the legendary Gil Santos and Gino Cappelletti made for exciting entertainment. I am reliving the season from the beginning to its thrilling conclusion over and over! I especially love watching The Snow Game in Foxborough against the Raiders. Thay was one of the greatest football games in NFL history. The AFC Championship Game against the Steelers was sweet to watch, and Super Bowl XXXVI against the St. Louis "Lambs" is still incredible and exciting viewing. It is no wonder that this DVD (and Video) is the most-purchased sports video ever! Everybody loves an underdog, and the Patriots were the ultimate 'dogs that won the Super Bowl. If you are a sports fan (not just a Patriots fan), this DVD is a MUST-OWN.

Summary: What's wrong with (some of) you people? This DVD is GREAT!!
Review: I had to laugh when I read some of the reviews here. When has the NFL ever released a video of the entire Super Bowl in any given year?? NEVER!! Neither the league nor the networks would ever allow it. The advertising on the cover is NOT misleading!! It says "Super Bowl XXXVI Champions Patriots", not just "Super Bowl XXXVI". And if you're literate enough to read the description on the back, it says such things as "It's all here, from training camp through the Super Bowl..." I have no sympathy for anyone who was misled. Has anyone here ever purchased a previous NFL team video? I have two previous ones of the Patriots (on VHS). I have one for the 1993 team that went 5-11--a team that was in its first year under Bill Parcells and showed promise by winning it's last four games. That video is about 30 minutes. I also have one for the exciting 1997 team that won the division and beat Miami in the first round of the playoffs before losing a very tough game in the second round to Pittsburgh. That video is a paltry 25 minutes (although I of course enjoyed it). This DVD here--besides the fact that it has glorious Patriots championship footage--is the best thing I have seen yet from NFL films. The main feature is a bit over an hour long--plus there is the 30 minutes of extra features. Now I agree that the unstoppable commercials at the beginning are annoying, and of course a few more things about the season could have been included. But overall, this was VERY well done! It truly ran like a great "beating the odds" sports movie; I still have to pinch myself to realize this is not fiction! From the classic narration by the legendary Harry Kalas to the use of the Pats' great radio voices to the footage both on the field and off, the season was very well covered. For sure, I know the outcome; but I still get chills every time I see it. The dramatic way it was presented here only enhances the beauty of what was the Patriots' 2001-02 season. I also LOVE the extra features on legends Steve Grogan and Gino Cappelletti as well as the 1976 team. The NFL Tribute to America feature I actually wish was a bit longer, but it brings goosebumps almost as much as watching the Super Bowl highlights does. I am a rock music fan who actually isn't that fond of U2, but I enjoyed their halftime performance at the Super Bowl and enjoyed reliving it on this DVD as well. So in summary, is this worth your money? ABSOLUTELY!! If you have a clue about what NFL Films is allowed to present, and certainly if you are a long-suffering New England Patriots fan, then this DVD is DEFINITELY for you. I cannot recommend it enough.

Summary: Great DVD...Great Season
Review: What can one say about a DVD that shows the viewer one of the most incredible stories in sports? This DVD did not look like a review of an NFL teams season, but rather a great story written by one of the great writers of our time. But it is a look back at the road to the Super Bowl Championship. One of the most interesting parts of this DVD is that they actually filmed Terry Glenn at training camp!! (They must have taken that film on day 1 or 2 of camp) The camera work is second to none, and the views that you get from the sidelines are breath taking. I have watched this DVD 3 times and I get chills each time. This is a great record of the Patriots surprising season!

Summary: Simply awe inspiring, I was weepig at the end
Review: This is the best movie in the world. It goes over every game and show all the big plays. (except for the great catch against the bills) They have good music for most parts, but the begining is horrible, with the little medival thing. But that is the only thing wrong. it truly is a great movie for any Patriot fan. The end is so great when it shows all the patriot players running on the field. But you do have to be a pat fan to fully appreciate there season and the playoff run. And what are all these people complaining about with there " it should have shone the entire Super Bowl game.." listen, the nfl films people have never had a home video of a Super Bowl before, and you should have known that and taped it yourselfs. BUY IT TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Summary: From Chumps to Champs
Review: The New England Patriots experienced one of the most magical and improbable seasons in NFL history during the 2001 season. After finishing 5-11 in 2000, most predicated that the Pats would finish last in the AFC East. They started the season 0-2 and in the course of their second game loss to the Jets, starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe suffered a severe chest injury. In stepped 2nd year QB Tom Brady who basically had no NFL experience. The Pats at this point looked to be worse than predicated. Instead, Brady led them to an 11-3 record the rest of the way and an AFC East title and first round playoff bye. Their first playoff game against the Oakland Raiders was a classic, played in the snow at the last game ever played at Foxboro Stadium. With under two minutes left to play and the Pats down three, Brady was sacked and fumbled the ball, which the Raiders recovered. The magical season appeared to be over, but after reviewing the play, the ref reversed the call. After being saved by the controversial tuck call, Brady led them down the field for a game tying field goal by Adam Viniatteri who then kicked the game winner in OT. In the AFC Championship game in Pittsburgh, Brady was knocked out of the game with an ankle injury. Drew Bledsoe, who returned from the injury and selflessly accepted the backup role, comes off the bench and leads the team to a touchdown on his first drive. Facing the powerful St. Louis Rams in the Super Bowl, no one gave the Pats a chance and they were a two-touchdown underdog. But from the start of the game, the Pats took control and kept the vaunted Rams offense out of the end zone until the fourth quarter. The Rams valiantly battled back and tied the score with less than two minutes in the game. Instead of sitting on the ball and settling for overtime, head coach Bill Bellechik, entrusted Brady to drive them down the field, which he did. Lining up for a game winning field goal, Viniatteri again splits the uprights, winning the super Bowl with no time left on the clock. NFL Films does a brilliant job of capturing all of the highs and lows of the team's season. The additions of U2's poignant and heartfelt performance and highlights from the first games back after the events of 9/11 caused the postponement of a week's worth of games only add to this first rate DVD.

Summary: The Anatomy of a Successful Season of Super Bowl Champions.
Review: This really is a fine document of the season of the eventual 2002 Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots. For football fans, or anyone interested in a come-from-behind, Miracle on Ice, ROCKY-type plot, this DVD outlines (once) again how believing in yourself and adapting to the situation no matter how hopeless it seems ultimately triumphs thanks to lots of smarts and a ton of sweat.
When I read the reviews for this DVD, it sounded like a bad choice to make at the check-out counter, especially since hockey, not football, is my favorite sport.
But this package really delivers. Add the halftime U2 concert commemorating the fallen of 9/11, I was really impressed.

Summary: This DVD misses wide right!
Review: While the Patriots season was one of the most memorable in sports history, this DVD is quite forgetable. It really does no justice to the unbelievable run made by these underdogs. Right from the beginning one wonders what the producers of this video were thinking. What does a "knight in armor" have to do with the Patriots? Was the cheesy voiceover in the beginning necessary? The Patriots season can speak for itself, it does not need cinematic bells and whistles to make it more interesting. This video continues to miss the mark by failing to elaborate on the Brady/Bledsoe issue. Was this not a major issue of the season? And how many of us felt the hair stick up on our arms, watching the Patriots come out as a team? Where was the coverage of this sidestory? As a diehard Pats fan I will hold on to this video as memory of the season, but this dvd definitely needs revision!

Summary: Fun for a Pats fan
Review: This collection of highlights of the Patriots Super Bowl season allows fans to relive the greatest season in Pariots history. Some of the games get very little coverage, but I suppose NFL films didn't focus much on the Patriots early in the season. The footage of the Oakland playoff game, in the snow, is great, with some good looks at the field goals and the INCOMPLETE PASS. The video highlights are complimented by audio tapes from the Patriots radio braodcasts that are first rate. The DVD bonuses of Steve Grogan and Gino Cappaletti are also great for long-time Patriot fans. Even the U2 footage is excellent. As a Patriots fan, I enjoy this DVD each time I watch it.
