Marketing Hype!, July 28, 2003
This review is from: MTV Uncensored - Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue 2001 (DVD)
I really was looking forward watching this edition of Sports Illustrated,because I have all the previous editions,and because I am a big Josie Maran fan(I think she is one of the sexiest and most beautiful women ever).
But how disappointed I was for two main reasons,
Firstly,the 'uncensored' tag is totally misleading. One would be excused for dispensing quickly of few $$$ without a thought just for this word alone,but this is all a marketing hype!I wonder what would the censored version be like??? Shooting fully clothed in the Artic??
Secondly, if you expect to be watching good photography, and lingering shots of these gorgeous women in bikinis,you will be sorely disappointed. This whole edition looks like behind the scene documentary for the magazine shoot, and what shots of models we have are annoyingly edited and are few seconds long at most. The last thing on my mind when I bought this DVD, was to hear photgraphers, producers and models talk and talk...
So careful not to believe the uncensored claim, and if you have the previous editions, then it is ok to buy this one too to complete the collection, but it will certainly be the weakest one by far.

It's good but not great, June 9, 2001
Yeah, it's the same 1 shown on MTV a few months back. It's the same thing but just without the 5min commericals. It is preety much the same thing as it is on the DVD. Nothing new you need to see here.

Great DVD, if you're a photographer, February 23, 2002

This review is from: MTV Uncensored - Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue 2001 (DVD)
...I think it's the best in the Sports Illustrated series, and I have all of them. But I'm a photographer, and the reason I think it's good is because there's lots of footage here of the photographers working with the models. There's a segment on Terry Richardson and how he often uses point and shoot cameras, which I found very interesting. The beautiful women are still there, and I get to watch some of the best photographers in the world work. I think it's great. The most irritating part of this DVD for me was the quick MTV cuts and the parts where they made the image roll as if the vertical hold had gone haywire on the TV set. That was just annoying.
