Summary: GB Packers-complete history dvd
Comment: Anyone interested in NFL football history would enjoy this dvd. A great documentary about the GB Packers and the famous Ice Bowl. Worth watching.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Video Set
Comment: If you are a Packer fan this is an incredible two disc set. The ice bowl dvd alone would be worth the price, but the history of the packers is an excellent product by itself.
Customer Rating:

Customer Rating:
Summary: Brings the Ice Bowl right back!
Comment: I ordered this video for my husband, who is a die-hard Packers fan (he can name evey player and their position on the Ice Bowl team), who had talked for years about how important the team, and this game in particular, was to him during his childhood. He was completely thrilled to have the video.

Summary: Incomplete "History" of the Green Bay Packers
Comment: NFL Films produces some good stuff, so I picked up this two disk set. I was disappointed in nearly every aspect of this set. First, the "history" is a typical NFL film with lots of game footage and the kind of music you would expect to hear on something like "Inside the NFL." How could anyone possibly call this a "complete history," when the main feature (covering a period of nearly 80 years) is just under 60 minutes! Little to nothing is said on the years between Lambeau and Lombardi and between Lombardi and Holmgren. Infante is not even mentioned. Relatively little biographical information is presented on Lambeau, Lombardi, or anyone else, and there was surprisingly little shown of Lombardi other than him stalking the sidelines. If you are a Green Bay Packer's fan, chances are you already know everything presented in the "complete history," and have probably seen much of the footage in other contexts.
The special features on disk 1 are laughably week and not worth mentioning. Given how little there really is on disk 1 (60 minutes for the feature and perhaps 25 minutes of extras) one wonders why there are two disks at all. Disk 2 is a different story. It's main feature is an approximately 75 minute feature (and a few extras) on the Ice Bowl, which is excellent in both quality and detail. In my opinion, it puts the first disk to shame.
In the end, I cannot recommend buying this set. The Green Bay Packers have a long, rich history that deserves far better than an incomplete and pitiful 60 minute NFL films treatment. If you buy this set, but it for the Ice Bowl feature.

Editorial Reviews:
|
*History of the Green Bay Packers explores the rich and mythical story of this proud franchise, from its founding days in the Green Bay Press-Gazette building, to its most recent NFL Championship amidst the glitz of New Orleans, to its becoming one of the most beloved sports teams of the new millennium. *The Ice Bowl is generally regarded as the most dramatic game in NFL history, and yet does not fully exist anywhere on network videotape. Utilizing its unique resources, NFL Films painstakingly reconstructed the game and all its subplots from whistle to gun. Thousands of feet of film were catalogued to piece together the game, much of it never broadcast previously.
