NFL America's Game Super Bowl I-XL (2006) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love a good work of fiction but sometimes reality can be very entertaining. This series is well-made and so intense and passionate that it brought me to tears more than one time. Every episode is a unique road to the superbowl by the team who won it and told by 3 important actors of the team. The 1985 conquest of the Bears for example is told by Mike Ditka, Mike Singletary and Jim McMahon. The stories that leads to the big game are fascinating, touching and often surprising. I love the series so much that I was comtemplating buying the first DVDs on the market which focus on one particular team and all the superbowls they won. But now, I was happy to see that they compile everything in one package. The packaging is very well made, the 40 DVDs being separated in 4 eras (66-75)(76-85)(86-95)and (96-05), 10 discs by DVD. Also, an interesting 88 page book with every conquest by every team. On the DVDs you have also a bunch of interviews that we couldn't see on the NFL network. If you love the NFL this is a great work by NFL films and Steve Sabol and a great piece of history to possess. The only thing missing is the Colts Superbowl last year but the documentary is about the first 40 Superbowl so we can't have everything unfortunately.

NFL Films - Inside the Vault, Vols. 1-3 (2003) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I felt compelled to write a review on this because I sorta feel conned. I bought this 3-disc set hoping for a little more than about 50 minutes on each disc. Film companies can fit hours and hours of footage on one DVD, why did NFL Films decide to stick less than an hour of footage on each disc? It doesn't make sense other than to be able to charge more for it. It's fascinating to watch and I love NFL Films but all this footage could have easily fit on one DVD. It's not like theres directors commentary or any real special features. One every disc they have little snipsets of individual players and the Sabol comments on them (Jim Brown is one example). Even with this, you're not getting any more than a little over an hour of material on each DVD. It's a great set but it's not worth the price at all
