Rating: Summary: Over Rated and Under-done Review: I wanted to catch the entirety of the SUper Bowl over and over again and a week before Super Bowl 37 was ever played, I had ordered the DVD for the memories. Yet problems mounted when I finally got my DVD. First off, the package is mislabled (which Warner Brothers can only apologize for in their corporate blindness) as being Close Captioned for the hearing impaired. It's not. Secondly, you are told that the entire Super Bowl is contained on this disc... It's not. It's an edited down version that cuts most of the drama away from the game in an attempt to let them add extra features to the disc. The audio during the game varies from Tampa Radio to Oakland Radio, which gets annoying, instead of John Madden / Al Michaels as the broadcast of the SUper bowl was. For a Bucs fan, this disc is just icing on the cake of having a championship. For a DVD Fan? This leaves a LOT to be desired. I don't want a re-packaged review of the season from NFL Films as is included on the disc as-so-much the entirety of the Super Bowl broadcast. Most reviewers and fans may love the disc, but I find it sorely lacking.
Rating: Summary: For the casual fan as well as the fanatic Review: If you're a Buc fan, this DVD's for you. The Voice of the Bucs, Gene Deckeroff, you'll hear throughout. Especially those of us out of the area that couldn't get Gene's broadcast and had to either listen to the TV announcers or the ESPN ones on the radio who all but ruled out Tampa. Just about the entire Super Bowl game is on this and highlights of every game played this season. Funny how quickly it goes when plays are done right after each other not waiting for the clock, delays or any commercials. It's the most complete DVD of an NFL team I've seen so far. There has to be somewhere that actually has game from long ago. If ESPN Classic can play the college games in full, where are the NFL ones?
Rating: Summary: Lighten up, folks Review: No, this doesn't have the whole Super Bowl game, but anyone familiar with previous Super Bowl releases knows that this one is a cut above. The custom has always been an hourlong tape recapping the whole season of whoever won the game, and maybe 15 minutes of Super Bowl action. Perhaps it's because the rights to NFL Films just changed hands, but this much game footage (a condensed hour) is something that's never been offered before. And really how many major sports commercially sell complete versions of their championship games? Major League Baseball, NBA, NFL, NHL--it just doesn't happen, except maybe for historic games. If reports about the 2003 NCAA basketball championship program are correct, then it WILL include the complete game in which Syracuse beat Kansas, but that'll be a first. I'm sure advertisers would be a factor in this development, especially when they're already skittish in the era of digital video recorders.
Rating: Summary: What about the other Super Bowls? Review: OK, so the NFL finally got on the bandwagon and is released a Super Bowl on DVD. When are we going to see the rest of the Super Bowls on DVD? It would be great to sit back on a boring summer afternoon and watch the Packers win the Lombardi trophy once again.
Rating: Summary: A must-have for all long-suffering Bucs fans! Review: particularly for those of us who don't live near Tampa and were unfortunate enough to have to deal with the ABC play-by-play during the Super Bowl instead of turning down the sound on the TV and hearing Gene Deckerhoff call it on the radio...now we can hear Gene's version! Michaels & Madden are professionals - and they were great for the Super Bowl...but give me Deckerhoff anyday! (Go Bucs, Go Noles!)
Rating: Summary: Best NFL DVD ever Review: The best sports DVD ever. The best part of the DVD is the special features section. The EDGE NFL Matchup pregame and postgame is amazing. This DVD is a lot better than last year's Patriots DVD(except for the HALFTIME SHOW portion with U2)... I would recommend getting this DVD for any sports fan.
Rating: Summary: Close But No Cigar Review: This DVD is ok,but not great.It does have every play from the telecast,however it has been edited down to less than 1 hour.So kickoffs and huddles have been removed.It does recap every game of Tampa Bay's season including playoffs.Also the radio anouncers of the Super Bowl are used so don't look for ABC'S crew.And none of those great Super Bowl commercials either.
Rating: Summary: Wanted more From DVD of Footballs Biggest Game Review: This is a DVD that could have and (in my oppinion )should have offered a lot more for the average football fan to view.NFL films does a great job of recapping the Bucs Run To Glory but we see nothing about the Raiders or any other team for that matter.It would have been nice to have added even a snippet of the other playoff games, and how can you have a SuperBowl DVD without any footage of the half time show.The actual game is only shown in fast highlights.There where a few nice extra features such as a behind the scenes look at the events going on in San Deigo on Super Bowl week, but over all I was very disppointed with this DVD.Hopefully Next Year we will get the Full Uncut Game with some Decent Extras, like the Biggest game deserves.
Rating: Summary: ITS OK BUT COULD HAVE BEEN GREAT Review: This is a OK Dvd especially if your a Bucss fan like me but as I am watching this Dvd I got the sense that it could have been more than just Ok. The documentary that highlights every game from the season is ok and so are the rest of the features but why not some interviews with the players after the Superbowl some day or why the Buccs homecoming and the parade ? You got a lot of space on a Dvd and it has not been taken advantage of. Especially player interviews could shed some light on how it is to win a Superbowl and how the players react after that win. The parade would really round off the season and you could see the fans going nuts after finally winning a championship. To bad NFL Films, try harder next time.
Rating: Summary: Buccin Awesome!! Review: to the last person who reviewed this and bought it for shania twain, why would you waste money on the chance of seeing a five minute lip synch from shania twain? Dont buy a football dvd looking for country music. AS far as the DVD goes, totally awesome. But you have to have the other DVD to go with it that came with the Bucs 2003 yearbook. This dvd covers all the on the field action and almost brings a tear to my eye watching the BUcs shut down the vet and pummel the raiders. The book/dvd covers all the partying and off field antices. GET EM BOTH ASAP!!!
