Not what it says on the box
I bought this film expecting to get highlights of what was a marvellous tournament. What I got was the complete New Zealand vs Wales group match plus a collage of snippets, some repeated two or three times,which resembled a theatrical trailer. There is a great film waiting to be made of this excellent spectacle but we are going to have to wait until a true lover of the game turns his hand to it. I'm surprised that the IRB agreed to put it's name to this tacky little effort, the object of which is blatantly clear, it is seen as a money spinner. If you are considering buying this keep your money in your pocket and your memories untarnished. A huge disappointment.

Highlights: but not enough!
Its not as bad as some of the reviewers make-out. Yes it does feature the full Wales v. New Zealand game and as a Welshman it is a great moment (sadly wasnt a win on the day though!) but I do believe it was one of the best games in the tournament and is a worthy addition in its entirity. It is a shame the final isnt covered in more depth, even from a highlight point of view as it was hugely enjoyable and incredibly fraught with suspense! There is definately a feeling with this DVD that it was rushed in post-production... the bonus footage (Wales v NZ aside) is just one trailer after another and you should not feel privaledged to see it... ...also, you tend to come away wishing that there were more highlights than what is on offer... There does seem to be a little too much focus on the spectators... a strange desire to show the anthems (which weren't that good in reality anyway)... but the inclusion of the opening ceremony gives a "feeling" for what turned out to be a spirited tournament, a tremendous atmosphere and a very worthy final! Is it worth it? Yes, and no: I have a vested interest in the featured match, and by and large I enjoyed the DVD, but there is that nagging sense of incompleteness...

There was more than one team there!
It's a review of the World Cup you fool!! Not a review of "England's" World Cup.

Take your head out of your arse.

And as a review of the World Cup it's an interesting, entertaining and worthwhile watch.

If you're only interested in England then you can buy one of the sub-standard, pandering, ego-inflated, mass produced peices of rubbish that are also available.

bad
This is no more than an extended promotion clip. There is as much time spent on the opening ceremony and pictures of fans, as there is on the rugby that actually took place. If you wanted to relive the best of the rugby action, this is NOT the DVD for you. A complete waste of money

Even More Pathetic Than The "Official Review"
At least I didnt buy this one - I borrowed it from a friend.

Big deal - Wales v New Zealand - great game (between two also ran teams). Why??????

I only hope that the DVD that is released in February is better than this nonsense and it finally gives fans of English Rugby the chance to own something that really documents the achievement of the team.

To date - the best 2003 World Cup DVD I have seen is the 40 minute Final Highlights (that was free in the News of The World). It hasnt stopped the RFU & the DVD companies selling 10000s of these to people who want to watch our best sporting moments for yonks.

DON'T BUY THIS RUBBISH IF YOU WANT IT FROM AN ENGLAND PERSPECTIVE.
