Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Ultimate Jordan is a lot better
Review: I bought this DVD with great anticipation only to be let down. Sure the visuals are great but I'm more interested in the plays that made the Jordan experience special. The Ultimate Jordan is a much better DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I have never seen this movie in my life
Review: I bought this DVD without really knowing what to expect. I didn't really expect the IMAX feeling to translate well to a smaller screen, and to tell the truth, it doesn't. But that is not a problem here.
Michael Jordan is an athlete larger than life and he does not need a big screen to relay that. His messages are powerful and his philosophy is an excellent source to anyone, but especially if you're raising children. He loves children in general, specifically his own, and a lot of what he says relates to children.
You will not be let down by this DVD, the message is powerful and MJ on the court is always a delight.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Decent
Review: I did not see this on the IMAX screen (but I have seen other films, so I can extrapolate somewhat). There is good background on Michael Jordan and some good shots. A lot of it focuses on the Chicago Bulls versus Utah Jazz rounding out MJ's career, but it is done well. Some things are his baseball career and the positive influences of his father are worthy additions. Overall, good for any basketball fan, especially fans of MJ.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good film if you're a Jordan fan, average if you aren't.
Review: I didn't see the IMAX version and I would agree with one of the previous reviews that mentioned this DVD is probably best left for large (5') screens. On a smaller screen, it is annoying to watch the picture-in-picture interviews and isn't any more impressive than a regular NBA Film production.

It was disappointed that the film covered everything you already knew about Jordan. (ie father's murder, being cut from the high school varsity squad, etc.) The behind-the-scenes footage isn't impressive, most of the film is dedicated to oncourt "ESPN highlights" and Jordan talking about his background.

Contains more extras than most sports documentary/films including a director's commentary.

Through all the negatives, it still leaves a warm spot in your chest because you can't help but admire the best basketball player of all time.

Important Note - I could not get the extra features menu to work on a PC DVD!

Summary: Michael Jordan To The Max
Review: I have not seen this DVD but I have seen this film at an IMAX and let me just say this it was so awesome If you like sports or not you will love this film I incourage all to see this one. Thank you for your time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Michael Jordon to the Max DVD will not disapoint
Review: I have seen the MJ to the MAX eight times at the IMAX. Truly sepectacular. You have not experienced MJ until you see this DVD. It hightlights his early years at North Caroliana as well as the last 3 championship including the awesome 70+ win season. If you have a Dolby Digital reciever and a big screen the image of of entering the United Center with MJ for the last time will blow you away, you will feel the greatness.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not very good drums
Review: I heard that Michael Jordan played the drums, so I got tis DVD. He dusn't plae the drums! Me angry now.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It is to the max
Review: I just bought the Michael Jordan to the Max DVD yesterday and I've watched it 4 times already. I had the oprotunity to see it in a Immax theather and it was a incredible. No, you will not have the same effect on your television (I don't care how big it is). But the DVD is insprirational,it will give you just a glimspe of a true campion. I've heard it called a love letter to Michael, well it is, and if you do love Michael it's a must have.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Do you have a big TV?
Review: I mean, a really REALLY big TV? If the answer is no, then you probably shouldn't get this DVD/VHS. Make no mistake: MJ to the Max is an IMAX movie, and you'll be very disappointed when you see it at home. About half of the movie has these really annoying picture-in-picture shots, which take up maybe 25% of the screen, and made feel like I was watching streaming videos on the web. I'm sure this "technique" worked fine on a 80-foot-high screen, but it definitely doesn't on a regular TV.

In terms of the content, the movie also disappoints. (...) It's nothing more than a rehash of ESPN highlights, except that it is shot at awkward angles and further away from the action. Again, this may have worked on a huge IMAX screen, but certainly not on a regular TV. The movie also fails to provide any in-depth behind-the-scenes material.

My 2 cents: Save your money unless 1) you are a die-hard MJ fan, and/or 2) you have a really really REALLY big TV.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Widescreen TV a must!
Review: I saw this movie in the IMAX theater in Boston at the Science Museum and was thrilled. Granted the home viewing experience is not the same but I also rented the DVD and was thrilled.. For those who did not enjoy the DVD, you have the wrong equipment. I have a widescreen TV and full 5.1 channel surround sound. The sound mix is incredible and the picture format and video transfer is stunning. In some game scenes it feels like you are on the court. I am going to buy this DVD for my home viewing pleasure and the legend of Michael Jordan will live on....
