I had ordered these to be shipped in time for the Superbowl. I think they arrived MONTHS after. Oh well, they weren't expensive, and I suppose I can use them for the next one.

They start off with a little back ground on the saints and then head into the magical 2009 season, giving highlights of each game. The highlights are edited so it feels like a watching a movie. They spend much more time on the playoff games and the Superbowl. The entire movie is narrated giving it the documentary feel. The special features are really nice too, most of them are not longer the ten min, but there well worth watching. It looks great on blu-ray and sounds good. All in all I was impressed with presentation of the season and what highlights they showed.

I just got this title in on Tuesday, and in the two days that have elapsed I've watched this blu-ray disc 3 times already. It's really well written, and is split up into 3 main segments. The first is a prologue that profiles the history of the team (briefly) and sets up the Katrina and post-Katrina struggles of the city and the team. The next segment includes a significant amount of high definition highlights from the regular season and playoffs. They don't skimp on the highlights either - they do a great job of telling the story of each individual game, supported by lots of highlights and game film with the unforgettable calls of Jim Henderson and Hokie Gajan of WWL Saints Radio. The last segment highlights the Super Bowl. A good amount of player interviews put the game's significance front and center, and you are then immersed in Super Bowl XLIV. After a brief conclusion, Saints fans are treated to scenes from the Super Bowl victory parade on "DAT Tuesday" during "Lombardi Gras." There are a decent amount of special features - highlighting Jabari Hargrove, Sean Payton, Deuce McAllister, and Jeremy Shockey. There's also significant Saints coverage and interviews from Super Bowl Media Day. All in all, it's worth every penny.

This Blu-ray is worth the price! At first, I debated purchasing it because it didn't show the entire Super Bowl but this is better. It tells a great story going game by game with great commentary from Jim Henderson and WWL radio. I was happy when they showed us winning and still a bit upset when they showed the 3 game losing streak. I choked up a bit (again) when they showed Hartley nail the winning FG in the NFC Championship game. The story is told from a definitively Saints and Who Dat Nation perspective. It's like no one else matters, not even Peyton Manning, he's an after thought (in the film). They do a good job of capturing the spirit of the Saints, season, each game and the Super Bowl. If you are a Saints fan this is a must buy and if you're not you'll still enjoy a great film.

This exciting montage of clips from the season is seamlessly woven into a narrative for one of the most storied seasons and franchises in the last few decades of the NFL. And--in true NFL Film fashion--you see and hear a great deal that you miss out on in the live telecasts. These documentary-style films show the personal side of the game, and in this particular film, you see a team striving to make history for a long-troubled franchise. Sure, (like others who have commented) I would like to see a complete telecast of the Super Bowl--as the NFL has released for the NFC Championship and three other regular season games--but the highlights from the Super Bowl do make up the most significant portion of the film's two-hour run. The documentary even captures the record-breaking victory parade held for the Saints after in New Orleans. While I can't speak for the DVD, the Bluray has absolutely stunning picture and takes us to the Superdome and to Miami in a way that even a regular HD telecast just can't do. I'll be pleased to watch over and over as we relive the miracle 2009-2010 season.

I liked everything about the dvd. It contains highlight from the start of 2009 season to SB 44. The only prob. with this dvd is narrator since this is the first Super Bowl champs dvd that did not get narrated by harry kalas. R.I.P. Harry. If he were alive i would have given 5 star rating.
