Summary: The Godfather DVD Collection
Review: The ultimate "Godfather". The video and audio quality are superb, but I encountered a serious problem with the "Bonus Features" disc. I couldn't access most of this disk and, at first, thought the disk was faulty. When the replacment came and I had the same problem, I learned that it was, in fact, my DVD player that was at fault. This Toshiba unit that is about two years old, needed something called a "Firmware Upgrade" that was performed by a nearby service center. ... , and I now have no problems. I have learned that many consumers have had similar problems with this DVD. There actually is a disclaimer on the back of the box that states "this disk was created in compliance with applicable DVD specifications. Certain of its advanced features may not play on all machines"

Review: Possible one of the greatest trilogy of all time, this set takes the DVD experience to a differnt level. The sound and picture are excellent and the movie just looks great. As for the bonus material, I hope you have a few hours to waste, because this this is filled to the rim with bells and whistles. My only knock is the The Godfather Part II, is on two discs, but considering the movie is 3 1/2 hours long it might be understandable, but I figured they could have jammed it onto one disc by dual layering. Other than that small complaint this is a great box set and should be a must in anyone's DVD collection.

Summary: The DVD of the Year
Review: "I believe in America..." the opening line of a film that made motion picture history with it's portrayal of family, love, honour, loyalty and vengeance. If anybody ever had a doubt about how good a director Francis Ford Coppola is, then this package will prove how good he is. The first movie made stars out of Al Pacino, James Caan and Robert Duvall and showed the world that if Marlon Brando had never appeared in On the Waterfront, The Wild One or A Streetcar Named Desire, the The Godfather was HIS role. This DVD package is nothing short of superb, five discs, Part I,II(2 discs), Part III & a fifth disc full of all the extras you would want to see. The commentaries from FFC in all 3 movies is informative and interesting. In Part I the horse's head sequence and the murder of Solozzo/McClusky still shocks.
STOP READING, BUY, WATCH and DIGEST the GREATEST movie of all time.

Summary: Terrible quality - Coppola should be ashamed of himself.
Review: Suffice it to say that the quality of I and II are TERRIBLE. They are grainy, have blips, and the lighting is overly dark. Others reviewers here have said the same, so this is not just my overimagination. I love the films as much as anyone, but cannot DE-recommend this collection enough.

Coppola obviously put absolutely NO effort into cleaning up the old prints. Seeing that he has not done anything really worthy since 1979 (Apocolypse Now), I take this release as a way for Coppola and Paramount to maximize their return at the expense of quality, and our pocketbooks.

Please, don't make the mistake I did. Don't waste your money.

Review: Reviewer CPR fron Brooklyn is correct. FFC should have redone the Trilogy (all 11-1/2 hrs) which is on laser disc. This version jumps around so much it is an effort to keep it straight even knowing the story. When Vito shoots Fanucci you can see his scar from having his throat slit, Hello! The DVD's Rembrandt mood and lighting is stunning, and you can see Pentangeli's brother talking to Michael in the corner of the screen thanks to the 1:85 ratio. In the DVD's first 3 hours so far, I have seen a couple of clips I don't recall in the Trilogy; where do these pieces pop up from? I believe Part 111 is pretty well saved buy the chronological presentation of the Trilogy which tells the story without all the laborious, fancy, gimmicky, cutting, and editing of the origional versions.

Review: This DVD is what DVD players were made for - crisp visuals, masterful sound and lots of goodies like left-out scenes and Francis Ford Coppola's narrative of GF1 and GF2.
