 Good but not great. April 7, 2010
T. Walker (Milton, FL USA)
I'm a huge Giant fan and I was a bit disappointed. Most of the DVD showed clips prior to the Superbowl. The lead up builds on the game, but more should/could have been shown of the actual game.
All in all it was good to watch my favorite team at one of their best moments, just wish their had been more time dedicated to the "big" game itself.
 Great DVD! March 9, 2010
Airton Pereira E. Silva (Brazil)
This dvd is fantastic! It has no full games, but it was exactly what I was expecting. It is like those nfl 30 min long films about each game. I enjoyed and still enjoy this dvd, It is a nice collection for all Giant fans around the globe!
Excellent July 1, 2009

I really enjoyed watching this documentary and remembering the Giants Road Warriors win the Superbowl. The film covers the highlights of all the games right through the season and has interviews with key players and coaches. It's great to see how the second half turnaround against the Redskins in week 3 transformed the season from almost being an 0-3 start and Tom Coughlin being fired, to being the biggest underdog shock winners of the Superbowl that I can remember.
The playoff wins against Dallas and Green Bay get some extra coverage and although there isn't that much of the Superbowl, all the best parts are there. After all, not much happened in the big game until the fourth quarter, but Plaxico Burress's catch for the winning score still sends a shiver down my spine. And I still think Eli Manning is going to get sacked before he completes his miraculous pass to David Tyree.
A great trip down memory lane.
GREAT DVD, But Amazon lists the title incorrectly April 21, 2009

First things first-- please know what you're getting. This DVD does NOT include the complete Superbowl. If you want to see the full game, there are other DVDs that offer that. The name of the DVD has caused a bit of confusion, but note that this DVD is actually called "Superbowl XLII Champions: NY". It is not called "NFL Super Bowl XLII - New York Giants Championship", despite how Amazon has it listed.
I can't fault the DVD because of a mistake made by Amazon, and most of the 1 star reviews you see on this site are doing exactly that.
This is a GREAT retrospective on an amazing season of football for the NY Giants. If you like the Giants at all, watching this DVD is genuinely uplifting, dramatic and emotional. This ranks up there among the best "feel good" movies I've ever seen, even if it's not technically a movie. The presentation is excellent, with a perfect mix of game highlights, sideline banter, drama and welcome touches of humor. The main documentary starts with a very brief segment about the disappointing end of the 2006 season, and then proceeds through all of the 2007 season, game by game. No, you don't get to see the full games, but rather the main highlights from each game-- all brilliantly shown in dramatic ways that capture the excitement beyond what a live broadcast can do, without ever getting distracting. Some of the regular season games are kind of rushed, I suppose, but overall, it felt perfectly sufficient to me. I think having TOO much detail for some of the less important games would just drag things down. By the time the documentary reaches the playoff games, things get a bit more in-depth, and the Superbowl game itself gets the most in-depth coverage of all (but again, it is just a summary, not the full game.)
There are several full game broadcasts included as bonus features, along with the Superbowl half-time show, and interviews/profiles of key players.
Bottom line-- If you were at all taken with the Giants' unlikely championship win, this is a great DVD to remember it all by. I watched it again last night, and it still grips me in a way that few sports documentaries can. Please just know that you are not getting the full Superbowl.

What a disappointment it was to discover that I had not bought the Super Bowl for my husband's birthday present! Amazon.com, I had more faith in you than that.
