One of the most surprising upsets in football history the New York Giants triumphed over the undefeated New England Patriots in 2008's Super Bowl XLII. Down four points the Giants used a drive in the final quarter to pull out a stunning 17-14 finish. Fans of either team will want to relive this tense game full of incredible moments including wide receiver David Tyree's astounding "Hat Catch" in which he kept hold of the ball by pushing it against his helmet. They're all collected here in NFL SUPER BOWL XLII.System Requirements:Running Time: 180 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: SPORTS/GAMES/FOOTBALL (AMERICAN) Rating: NR UPC: 085391168331 Manufacturer No: 116833

I've Actually Watched it (Go Blue).... February 26, 2008

Okay, so it's pretty clear that few if any of the other reviewers have actually watched this thing. I preordered in the days after the Super Bowl and literally just got it today. I watched most of it, and since no one else has offered a real review, I figured it would be helpful to fellow Giants fans if I shared my impressions.
The short version? Overall, it's friggin sweet. Be forewarned, this does NOT contain any full games - I knew that when I bought it. But it does contain pretty extensive highlights and retrospectives of the season and the big game. Let's face it, you're probably buying this because you want to re-live some of those great moments from this unbelievable season down the road. This should pretty much satisfy that.
The real meat is, of course, the main featurette, which is your typical NFL Films recap of the season. I have to say, I really enjoyed it, as it's very well done. It runs about 75 minutes start-to-finish, including some preseason stuff and an overview and highlights from each game. It has most of the big plays/memorable moments from the year, (i.e. the dramatic goal-line stand against the 'Skins in Week 3). The final 20 minutes focus solely on the Super Bowl, and that's one of my minor complaints. I would have liked a bit more on the big game, but it's very well put together regardless. I got the chills watching the multiple angles of Eli's Great Escape in the fourth quarter. Thankfully, no Joe Buck.
The rest includes a mixed bag: Two 20-minute chapters about the playoff games against Dallas and Green Bay (both good); post-Super Bowl coverage and interviews from NFL Network (some fun stuff there); Media Day highlights (eh), the Super Bowl halftime show (I like Tom Petty and all, but I doubt I will ever watch this); and a quartet of ten-minute profiles: Strahan, Coughlin, Eli, and Kiwanuka.
So, there you have it. Overall, I'm glad I picked it up, as it's a nice way to revisit the season. I could have gone with a little more game footage and fewer extras, but what are ya gonna do. I imagine you can buy the complete Super Bowl uncut somewhere, if that's more what you're looking for...?
Oh yeah, one more thing: I REALLY wish they had included footage of Tom Brady laughing about Plaxico's "17 points" prediction. Hey Tom: you done got punched in the mouth.

HAS TO BE GREAT! February 12, 2008

The Giants shocked almost everyone - even their fans! The most amazing season ever!! Beating the cheating, sore-losing, swaggering Pats was justice in a world without a lot of justice sometimes. After beating Dallas, I was a very content fan (TO crying was an awesomely great image). That alone made for a very successful season. Going on the beat the Pats and prevent their "perfect" year - that is one of the greatest events in all of sports. Everyone should buy this no matter what team they support just to see the guts and teamwork it took for them to win.
A Cap-Off to a Real "Perfect" Season February 14, 2008

The Giants may not have been perfect during the regular season but they were in the playoffs with one exciting win after another, each being more spectacular than the previous one! The Patriots came into the game forgetting the one big rule in most team sports that great defense will always beat a great offense!
The Giants grew as a team during the season and learned from each game. Having lost to Dallas, Green Bay and New England, they made adjustments to compensate for those loses and as rookie players began to shine, the Giants morphed into a team of destiny winning the most exciting Super Bowl ever! A must have for any Giants fan.

Some of the reviews here crack me up. Obviously some people buy things without knowing what they're buying. This is a superb DVD that covers the Giants' miracle season from start to finish. You'll relive all ups and downs of every game from 2007. You'll get to hear and see what was going on, on the sidelines during all the key plays. There also some nice bonus features such as "NFL Game of the Week" highlights from the Dallas and GB games. Another extra is NFL Network's Post Game show at the Super Bowl. If you're a Giants' fan, ignore the bad reviews here and just buy it!
