Recreation and Sports Movie Reviews

There is something lacking about this DVD. It's hard to put your finger on, but after watching it, I felt slightly unfulfilled by it. It has some great Gretzky footage, but there is no question they have more. If anything, I would say this DVD is short on footage. Don't get me wrong, there is some terrific footage here, some that I had never seen before (I also own the Above and Beyond video), but there no high-lights of brilliant passes to Kurri; Gretzky doing ridiculous stuff on the penalty kill, stuff I was hoping for. They also managed to gloss over like four or five years in Edmonton. They talk about winning the first cup, then they just show a montage of the Oilers hoisting three more. Not a single shot of him in a Blue's Uniform, not much about the King's either. That being said, it is still a great DVD and I highly reccomend you purchase it.

Finally something comes out for hockey on DVD. This is a good start for any hockey fan out there. Although Wayne did eliminate my leafs in 93' I still think is the greatest player. The shocking part was that Wayne never passed any of his physicals and that proved knowledge of the game might be more than strength.

It has game footage dont worry about that. I was worried it was going to be all commentary and interviews of Wayne. It has footage of a couple of clips in certain games.
My brother loved Gretzky he was his idol and mine was Cujo(Blues, Oilers, and Leafs then I stopped liking him since he left them). I started to watch hockey because of my brother and was cheering for the kings in 93'(but since then I have been a leaf fan so I wish it went the other way).
Oiler Years for sure was Gretzky's best years. They have to give credit to Jarri Kurri, Glen Anderson, Mark Messier, Kevin Lowe, and Grant Fuhr for greta years.

The overal dvd has so much stuff I have not seen it all yet. I watched it for 2 hours and not done yet. I give it a ranking of 9/10 or 5/5. Go Leafs GO and Oilers
