The Godfather DVD Collection

Summary: Very disappointed in the Godfather DVD Collection
Review: My video of the Godfather is a much better product than this dvd. I can barely make out the what the characters are saying, but first and foremost, I expected the non-cut version of the movie. I feel like I have been ripped off.

Summary: AMERICAN MOVIE CLASSICS
Review: THE GODFATHER is without question the greatest American film of all time. THE GODFATHER trilogy is without comparrison, although GODFATHER PART III, gets 5 stars only by default. The most interesting of the three films remains GODFATHER PART II, boasting the best ending of any American film ever (Bogart walking off into the fog in CASABLANCA notwithstanding). The reason: Same as GF I, the characters. GF II's most interesting being Frank Pantangeli (Michael V. Gazzo, in an Oscar nominated performance)the old school cosa nostra caught in a world of hurt by changing times. There's no respect for the old ways (the families negotiating instead of going to war)or traditions (Italian musicians who can't play the tarantela, WASP-ish food at a Corleone event). This charactrer is fascinating, eclipsing Hyman Roth (Lee Strasberg also nominated for Best Supporting Actor)and all of the Corleone clan, including Robert DeNiro's Oscar winning performance as Young Vito Corleone...asking the filmdom question: Was it the performance or the role itself that was Oscar caliber, considering Brando won for his iconistic work in GF (1972). What would have been perfect, in addition to this set, was FFC cutting all three films, with the deleted scenes, just as he did in THE GODFATHER, THE COMPLETE NOVEL FOR TV, and in the 1990 VHS package. Call the marketing department.

Summary: The BEST MOVIE EVER..
Review: The Godfather is a classic. Anyone who gives it a rating 3/lower has either NOT watched the movie properly and is judging it, or DOESNT knoe a good mafia/gangster movie (or a good movies in general) at all...The acting, the script, the scence, the cine., the ACTORS etc were all 5star rating...its not surprising that this movie was made 30+ yrs ago and is STILL being reconized as one of the greatest movies of all time. And i dont know about anyone else, but i have never seen so many oscar worthy performances or numerous classic actors and actresses all packed in ONE movie. Ever. If anyone judges this movie before they pick it up, i suggest to you watch it first and then crticize...you'll see there wont be much to criticize since this is the best movie ever...Mafia/Gangster #1 Movie

watch it and enjoy

Summary: IT'S NOT DIGITALY REMASTERED
Review: To Start the Movies are awesome for sure. But I had the Collection on tape already, and the quality is no diferent, they just threw the same picture on the DVDS with the one bonus disk with the extra footage, which is the only reason I gave it a 2. So basically I paid 80 dollars for the extra bonus footage. Almost all the other commentaries were on the tapes as well. The first DVD is all pixilated on an HD TV, and the sound quality is terrible as well. Pretty much the same for them all though. I am very disappointed in Paramount for this rerelease to DVD. They need to take a look at how Lucas remastered the StarWars, Which in My opinion is no where near as good as a movie as the Godfathers. Maybe in another 10 years, or when they want to make more money off of the trilogy, they will digitally remaster, and sell a special edition godfather trilogy set and make another 80 dollars off of everyone. Sad part is, I will buy it too.

Summary: The Ultimate Classic Saga
Review: This Godfather series is what they mean when they say 'saga' and 'classic'. This is what a good movie is all about. Timeless classic that will forever be entertaining.

Summary: sell seperately
Review: I was hoping they can sell seperately. What I really want to keep is the Godfather II with coppola's commentary. Unfortunately, there isn't any selling out there. I don't mind to buy the I and II, but certainly not III. And it's VERY expensive to buy this box-set!

Summary: Perfect collection for a fan.....
Review: I love this DVD collection -- get all the parts and special features that will give you further insight into the movie. You'll love the director's cut cd also -- it really gives you an in-depth look into how these priceless jems were made. I used a coupon from UnderTag.com, so it was a real bargain for me too. Now that's an offer you can't refuse!
