DVD Reviews of The Life & Times of Secretariat, an American Racing Legend
DVD Review: Outstanding film!
Summary: 5 Stars
For all equestrians and all who love horses, this is something you just have to have. Original footage of the races of the greatest horse that ever lived; Secretariat.
Own a record of the legend - buy this one, watch it, and add it to your video library.
DVD Review: What a horse!
Summary: 5 Stars
OMG, this horse was phenomenal! I love learning about animals, especially ones who've made an impact on the world. Even though I knew the outcome of each race, I still felt the tension & thrill watching them! If you love horses, racing, or wonderfully documented footage of the era of Secretariat, you'll love this!DVD Review: The Life & Times of Secretariat, an American Racing Legend
Summary: 4 Stars
This DVD was a gift to my sister-in-law. She LOVES Secretariat and enjoyed every moment of the film. If you want to see a true legend in equestrian racing, this is a film for you (so she told me).DVD Review: Great Horse, High Price
Summary: 3 Stars
If any of you are still in awe of Big Red, even after all these years, you will love this DVD. There isn't much new material here. Just about all of it has been broadcast many times on sport channel specials and the producers were unable to clean up the TV footage from 1972-73. The interviews are interesting, but don't provide any new information for fans; but having those interviews and footage all together is great.
One thing: The Life & Times of Scretariat is overpriced at $40. $25 would have been reasonable. I suggest waiting until used copies are available.
DVD Review: *Cringe*
Summary: 2 Stars
I really wanted and expected to like this - I mean I love that it has the footage of all of Secretariat's races, but the documentary itself does him no justice. This is supposed to be honoring one of the greatest thoroughbreds of all time and the quality of the documentary is crappy - for a $50 DVD I expected a lot more. For Secretariat I expected a lot better. I couldn't stop cringing when they played that cheesy Bryan Adams song in the background to Secretariat's racing footage! Ugh.
Poor Secretariat is probably rolling over in his grave!
It's like they hired a cheap wedding videographer to put this together - Not worth $50 - Wait till they drop the price or something better comes along.
