Rating: Summary: The best gangster film ever!!! Review: The Godfather isn't only about gangsters, it's also about a man trying to care for his family, and giving them evrything he didn't have as a child. Francis has never made a movie as good as this one. This film has a little of everything for the family. It has violence, drama, comedy, and love/commitment to a family. Marlon Brando at his best. This movie made Al and Robert famous in hte business. Never will there be a gangster film as good as "The Godafather".
Rating: Summary: More like a question Review: Where can I get a copy of "The Godfather Saga". I rented it many years and remembered there were scenes that were not in the cinema releases. Also, during the first week of Oct. 1999 they had the epic/saga on TV and there were even MORE scenes that I haven't seen before. If anyone can help me locate these tapes or if anyone knows where a COMPLETE set can be found please let me know. Thank you.
Rating: Summary: Quite simply one of the best movies ever made....EVER! Review: I don't really know how to review this film. All I know is that i love this film. The Godfather Part I is truly brilliant. The scene where Micheal murders McClusky and Sollazo makes me nervous every time I watch it even though I know what is going to happen. In The Godfather Part II, my favourite scene is where Micheal has his enemy's killed, when he is looking out over the lake while his brother is shot. Part III wasn't that bad either. when in comparison to Parts I and II, then I can see why people have reached the conclusion that it is pants. However, when watched as an individual film it is a great movie.
Rating: Summary: Stop ragging on Part III Review: I love the first two AND Part III. I admit, it's not as great as the rest, but it's still a very good movie. If the other two Godfather movies had never been made, Part III would probably be considered the best gangster movie ever (if we were somehow aware of the backstory). Would everyone just stop being so damn snooty?
Rating: Summary: greatest movie ever Review: Not only is this a great trilogy, but it is very deep in that it forces the viewer to TRY to understand their lifestyle. Alot of us are like "Kay", the wife of Michael Corleone(Al Pacino), in that we don't understand why their family was that way. But that's what makes this movie superior to others. I agree with everyone who says you could watch them over and over again. For those that want to know, AFI ranked The Godfather I as number three on the all time greatest movie list. Part II was ranked somewhere in the 30's. If your a Godfather fan, you just love part III because it is part of the set. But if you don't have it, I suggest you RUN and go get it.
Rating: Summary: QUESTION??? Review: Is this the famous "The Godfather Saga" I saw many years ago on TV? I ask any knowledged reviewer this because recently I bought something named "The Godfather: the complete story", hoping it would be the same film as shown on the network but several scenes were missing; particularly one in Sicily in which Michael witnesses a communist demonstration singing 'The Internationale'. Does this version includes it? Please let me know.P.S.: Sure, 'Godfather III' is no match for the other two, but still is one wonderful film in its own right. Don't be so harsh with it, since Andy GarcĂa makes as good a Corleone as all the rest!
Rating: Summary: Cinematic Benchmark Review: Godfather II and I are my favorite movies (in that order). They represent movie-making at its finest and are truly the benchmark by which all movies should be judged. Godfather III was not a horrible movie, it just suffers by comparison. Godfather III's flaw was the miscasting of the female lead which proved that not all of Francis Ford Coppola's relatives can act.
Rating: Summary: The supreme best Review: "The Godfather Saga" is the supreme achievement in film making. A great, powerful, sprawling family story, spread out over nearly a century, with darkness and tragedy, all held together by Coppola's brilliant direction and incredible attention to detail. Great scene follows great scene, great performance follows great performance--a magnificent cinematic opera. You can watch it 2,000 times (as I have) and still see brilliant new details with every viewing. The happiest contest in the world is to try to determine which is better: Part I or Part II; Connie's wedding (Part I) or the Havana sequence (Part II). Two other comments: --Part III is a good denouement of the saga, but it doesn't hold up to its illustrious predecessors. --The digitally remastered 25th Anniversary edition is visually and aurally stunning,like watching the saga again for the first time. But the best version to have is the chronologically spliced, shown-on-TV edition, which contains more than 40 minutes of additional material, every bit of it splendid!
Rating: Summary: The Best Review: The best damn movies ever made! Godfather part 11 is my favorite movie. You could watch this movie again and again. Buy it now! A
Rating: Summary: The first two are excellent films, the third one fails Review: Parts I and II are top-notch pictures full of excellent acting, tight dialogue and unforgettable scenes! Part III is terrible: don't even bother...
