So today, I'm adding my 2 cents to the discussion, and reviewing the Super Bowl. First, I'm happy to say that the game itself was pretty fantastic. But who watches the game for the game?
Fox ticked me off early by over-using their super high-speed camera. Really guys, it is not necessary to show a super slow mo clip after every play. Review the video, if it's interesting, show it to me. Otherwise, I don't want to see a guy getting arm tackled in slow mo. To their credit, the 2-point conversion review was very well shot, there were 3 very conclusive angles, and it was a baller play to watch.
Moving right along, the halftime was superb. Probably the best part of the whole production. Despite the fact that they didn't let people up close, they compensated well by making an INCREDIBLE stage. The lighting configuration of the stage was absolutely stunning. Add to that the laser light show out of nowhere (Where did they put all those lights in the stadium!?), and it was a really good show. Oh and it was the Who.
Most importantly though, are the commercials. Admittedly, they were a bit lack luster this year. I think there were only a couple very good commercials. Jump to read and see more!
