NFL America's Game: 2000 RAVENS (Super Bowl XXXV)



Good, but too little
Pros: the production quality is very good. It has some of the usual super close ups and super slow motion that we expect from NFL Films productions. The DVD includes material from the beginning of the season, to the superbowl, and also talks about Ray Lewis's indictment, legal trouble, and its impact on the team. The three people who reappear in interviews are Brian Billick, Ray Lewis, and Trent Dilfer. The extra features are mostly extended interviews with these three.

Cons: it is quite short, 45 minutes, not the advertised 55 minutes, unless you count the extra features. There are only a few minutes, I'd estimate 3 or 4, devoted to the superbowl. There are probably 9 or 10 other games throughout the season that get this much coverage on the DVD, with the rest of the time going to interviews. What I was hoping for was 30 minutes of highlights of the superbowl game itself.

True Champions...
As always NFL Films produces a top notch DVD on one if it's top teams & this is certainly one of my ultimate favorites especially since it's more than a rundown of the Baltimore Ravens championship season but it also takes a personal approach to the players & coaching staff. One of my favorite parts is when they talk about Ray Lewis because he really takes his game seriously & he's probably the biggest team leader in all of the NFL. Also you see the pressure that Lewis had to face from the NFL, news media & the fans as a result of his going to trial for murder charges despite his continual self proclaimed innocence. All in all, this is an EXCELLENT well-produced documentary that really showcases not only one of the greatest defensive NFL teams of all time but digs down deep in the heart of the game itself.

Baltimore RAVENS 2000 season DVD
This DVD is so exciting. I have season tickets to the RAVENS games and this DVD brought more insight to what really happened that season. Our first Superbowl....loved the DVD.
