Summary: Crime cinema to the fullest
Review: I'd like to say that the Godfather films are all great. The first two have been reocognized on over 500 top 100 movies lists, and even the third one was great. I dont't know why everyone hated the third. Was it Sofia Coppala's acting? Was it Anday Garcia's annoying character? I don't know. You have to admit that the last scene with Al Pacino dying is a classic. And even the plot premise wasn't bad at all.

Summary: The Paragon
Review: There is no other mobster movie. There is no superlative extreme enough. The mount everest of mobster movies. If you are looking for an example of how to perfectly tell a saga of a family working out it's struggles and issues, much like any other family with the exception of careers, morality, power, principalities, and high finance, than this is your feature. This is one of the very select sequels that improves upon the oringal in almost every way; performance from the actors, set up of characters by the writer, and just plain drama from the story. The main reason for this is probably the fact that the first two installments is the telling of one novel. Puzo and Coppola basically split the novel "The Godfather" and made two movies from it. One did an adequate job, but it took the second to illucidate the saga. Based loosely on real mob families in New York, the orignal "Godfather" caused a sensation when it was premiered over three decades ago. Time is the ultimate test for a story, novel, or movie. The "Godfather" epic has only imporved with time. With other lesser attempts to re-capture the magic that Coppola recorded; it only stands out even more. Part III is a tribute to that often attempted failure. Even he could not recapture the splender that was the first two features. Maybe time, maybe actors, or maybe just that the saga was complete with two parts; can explain how the third part comes up short, or maybe the fact that part III was about money and lacked the passion of the first two. Regardless, you can throw away the disc, or tape for part III and you would still have the best story ever told in cinema. It has everything and is everything one could ever want. American, Italian, whatever, the "Godfather" is about humans. It covers all ethnicities and cultures; just plug in your own. The theme of family and economics and politics, are all timeless. I recommend the DVD because the VHS tapes will wear out with as many times as you will view the movies.

Summary: Good movie but Bad DVD package
Review: I am fan of the God fatehr movies and enthusciatically
pre-ordered the set. I am not rich and the price is a
big investment for me. I was disappinted with the packaging
of the DVD. It is packaged in cheap cover (when even $10 DVDs
come in nice cover). It loooks bad and does not fit well
on my DVD rack. After some use the cover looks very old
and scratchy. The movie quality itself is not much difrferent from VHS
quality. I am so disappointed that they made such a lovley
movie packaged so cheap. I still did not return it because i love this movies so much. cheeers

Summary: Greatest Movie of All Time
Review: This is a Mafia obessed geeks dream. I love reading, watching, playing anything related to the Mafia. And these movies, by far, are the greatest Mafia flicks of all time. The first one is my personal favorite of the three. It shows Michael Corleone's rise to the Don of the Corleone crime family. The second one is also great, showing Michael as the Don of the Mafia in Neveda and the eventual destruction of his family. The third one isnt as great but its still a darn good flick. It shows the complete destruction of Michaels life and everything he holds dear. So if your a fan of Mafia flicks go out and buy these.

Summary: Greatest movies of all time!!!
Review: Ok now theres no debating, The Godfather is the BEST movie of all time. The Godfather Part II is the second best movie of all time. Now thats out of the way these DVD's are outstanding. The audio quality far surpasses that of the VHS. And I'm going to buy a widescreen tv just so I can see it in widescreen.
Brando was amazing as the godfather. But Micheal was more rutless. These movies tell a tale of a large italian crime family and there ups and downs living in the US. This includes "Hits", Gambeling rings, prostitution, and extortion. Although brando never appears in 2 his presence is felt in the end scene. If I could recommend two movies that everyone should see it would be the first two godfathers.
In conclusion this movie is full of action and drama from beginning to end. From Vito Making Johnny Woltz an offer he could'nt refuse, to fredos demise at the end of 2 no one trilogy of movies can top "The Godfather Trilogy"

Summary: Godfather DVD review
Review: The Godfather series have long been heralded among the greatest pieces of american cinema. First reviews of the films: 1.) Godfather: (11 out of 10). A classic of cinema and #3 on the AFI's 100 greatest movies list. It's also my favorite movie of all time. Marlon Brando gives a legendary performance as Don Vito Corleone, the head of the Corleone mafia family. From his hoarse, mumbling voice to his cheeky face, Brando created one of the most famous and often parodied charcters in film history. Another special contribution this film gave to pop culture was introducing Al Pacino. Pacino is great in his signature role as the Don's son, Michael. He shows in his portrayl the transformation of Michael from a war hero into a ruthless mobster. The supporting cast are all fantastic as well. James Caan as the hot-tempered Sonny, Robert Duvall as consigliere Tom Hagen, Diane Keaton as Michael's wife, Kay Adams and the late John Cazale as Fredo Corleone to name a few. The Godfather had many memorable scenes such as the horses's head lying in a man's bed, the shootout at the restaurant or the massacre of Sonny Corleone. And who could forget Marlon Brando's famous line : I'll make him an offer he can't refuse.This movie also gave the audience insight into family life inside the mob and how these people stay close to one another despite being low life criminals. 2.) The Godfather part 2: (10 out of 10). Brilliant sequel which is equal to the original in it's epic scope. This movie tells two stories. The sequel part shows us Michael moving his newly established crime organization and family to Lake Tahoe. The prequel part takes us back in time to when the young Vito Corleone (played brilliantly by Robert De Niro) rose to power in the slums of New York. Al Pacino gives another great performance as Michael, as does Diane Keaton as his now-suffering wife Kay and Robert De Niro manages to channel Marlon Brando with his own portrayl of the Don. John Cazale manages to make the audience feel sympathetic as Michael's pathetic brother, Fredo who pays the price for betraying his brother. 3.) The Godfather part 3: ( 8 1/2 out of 10). 16 years later, Francis Ford Coppola and author, Mario Puzo returned to conclude the story of the Corleones. The film did not do so well at the box office or at the Oscars despite being nominated. It also became the butt to several jokes and the target of constant bashing from movie buffs. While the film isn't an oscar caliber masterpiece like the first two, it's not as bad as people make it out to be. The film's main flaw is the meandering plot and the numerous sub-plots going on at once. Robert Duvall's absence hurts the film as the Tom Hagen character was so prominent in the first two. The film concerns Michael's decison to become a legitimate businessman by entering into a deal with the Vatican bank to keep them from becoming bankrupt. He finds that the church is just as corrupt as the mafia. Al Pacino is once again great as an eldery Don, and Diane Keaton returns as his now estranged wife. Andy Garcia is great as Sonny's illegitimate son, Vincent who becomes the new Don Corleone. Sofia Coppola, while not great as Mary, doesnt ruin the movie like so many critics and reviewers make it to be. The Godfather part 3 needs to be seen with knowledge of the first two films to make sense. Even though it didn't live up to the first two, it was still a worthy conclusion. Bonus Material: This disc has a lot of great stuff on it. From the many deleted scenes to the making of documentaries, this disc is a great addition to the movies themselves.

Summary: Best. Movies. Ever.
Review: The Godfather, Parts I and II, are simply unparalleled in the entire history of movie making. Al Pacino is amazing, and the first two parts of this trilogy remain my favorite movies of all time.

Summary: Best Films ever
Review: It's a little sad you have to buy this as a trilogy since really the first 2 are the ones that count. But you can't deny the greatness of these masterpieces. Buy this set if you like movies, buy this if you like Pacino or Deniro or Brando. Buy this if you think guns are cool. Buy this if you think crime is entertaining. Buy this if you like to see people punished for going against "The Godfather." If you don't buy this movie, you just may end up with a horse head in your bed. That's all I can say.

Summary: The Greatest Mob movies ever made!
Review: The Godfather Trilogy DVD collection is one of the greatest movie pictures in Hollywood history.The Godfather Part 1 was epic film made by Francis Ford Coppola, the screenplay by Coppola and Mario Puzo(author of the book)was perfect. I thought that Al Pacino deserved Best Supporting Actor in this picture. The Godfather Part 2 was a great followup to the first telling two stories, the power of Michael Corleone and the rise of Vito Corleone, Al Pacino definitely deserved Best Actor at the Oscars but he was robbed. The Godfather Part 3 was pretty good not as great as the two previous but still a great story by Coppola and Puzo to end The Godfather.
