DVD Reviews of NFL Super Bowl XLIII: Pittsburgh Steelers Champions DVD
DVD Review: 5 Stars for the Steelers - 3 for the DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
As a long-time Steelers fan, this DVD was a must buy and I'm happy I did it. BUT, the Superbowl is not complete, just a series of clips. Too bad too becuase Superbowl XLIII is a game I could watch over and over to see the great plays both by the Steelers like Harrison's record interception+return and Santonio Holmes' spectacular series of catches on the last offensive drive, as well as the great almost-comback by the Cardinals, a team that got no respect during the regular season and had to earn it the hard way in the postseason.
My problem with the DVD is that unlike many of the NFL's productions this one has no heart, no stortelling, no reason to care, presented in the program. This DVD gives you a striaght-up prestantion of the games with all the wit and charm of a statistician. If you want to see great sports storytelling and human drama played out on the gridiron, check out the NFL Super Bowl XL - Pittsburgh Steelers Championship DVD. It starts off just right with the emotionally honest speech by Hines Ward regarding the possible retirement of Jerome Bettis. Great stuff. The closest this program gets is the exchange between Ward and Limas Sweed - good stuff but there were MANY great storylines that went into this season. Some people think NFL films are too melodramatic, personally I love the over-the-top drama and I can't believe they would lose the oportunity to present some great stories.
Here's just a few that jump to mind!
The injury to longtime backup Charlie Batch that led to Byron Leftwich stepping up to help play strong.
The emphasis on discipline in training camp that got Casey "Big Snack" Hampton some press before the season started.
The long road and perseverance of James Harrison who made Defensive player of the Year (a fact BARELY mentioned on the DVD).
Hines Ward's drive to play in the Superbowl despite a knee injury two weeks earlier against Baltimore.
Oh, and lets not forget the faceoff between Mike Tomlin and Ken Wisenhunt/Russ Grimm after they all vied for the headcoaching gig in Pittsburgh two years prior.
Any or all of those would have been great to hear about but we got next to nothing on the main program, just scattered in the bonus material or completely ignored.
Griping aside, the production is nicely done and the inclusion of the 4th quarter of the Dallas game (at least on the Blu-Ray DVD) is a nice touch - but even then they cut it too short and left out the bone chilling battle cry by Nate Washington shortly after an ankle injury, a moment I was dying to see again! I hope NFL films has a few other productions planned to give this season its due.
