Summary: The Godfather
Review: This movie was amazing. A must see for mobster and non-mobster fan

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Godfather Trilogy Should Stay As Is.
Review: How can you dispute the greatness of Godfather and Godfather Part II? Both movies display a spectacular cast of actors in their prime telling an extremely compelling story. They both deserved all the Oscars won.

But that same magic could not be reproduced 20 years later when they shot Part III. Pacino seems like he has lost the character. His mannerisms, speech, and disposition have changed. They don't fit the Michael character he created in Parts I and II.

I here there is talk of a Part IV. I say leave this collection of movies as is.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The first two films are so good we should forgive the third
Review: "The Godfather" parts one and two are, quite simply, two of the greatest films ever made. Having just seen them again for the first time in about fifteen years, I was newly overwhelmed by their power and impressed by the skill of the filmmakers and the actors in putting together these great epic sagas of power, blood, love, betrayal, and vengeance.

That said, I cannot to this day fathom what Francis Ford Coppola was thinking when he put together "The Godfather--Part III." Sprawling, poorly crafted, murky, and ultimately dull, this third installment in the series remains one of the biggest disappointments in modern film making. The casting of Sofia Coppola as Michael Corleone's daughter Mary was a production gaffe of monumental proportions. She was such an unappealing character portrayed so amateurishly by Coppola that when the climatic scene unfolds on the screen, one can't help but feel a bit of relief, rather than horror or sadness.

Still, the first two films rank among the very finest movies ever produced, and young people who missed the films during their initial releases owe it to themselves to see them on video.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I think that this trilogy is a masterpiece.
Review: This trilogy is an even bigger masterpiece than Star Wars. It explains to you in full detail the struggle of how to keep a mob and a family together and happy. Brando plays an excellent role as the first godfather and I think he did his definite best at it. Pacino was terrific in this movie as well. The only thing I find wrong is that Pacino plays the godfather in all three videos and I think that was okay but you know it wasn't really meant to be since micheal (Pacino) started out in the army and had no clue how to even run a mob. I give this movie 5 stars because it is a definite masterpiece and anyone who says that it isn't well written should be shot because I don't think you could get a better story about the moffia

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Movie Ever
Review: This is the best movie ever made

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: MAGNIFICENT
Review: One of the greatest motion pictures ever. Wonderful. Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, Robert DeNiro, James Caan and Diane Keaton along with Coppola and Puzo's adaptation from the novel are perfect. If you own one video, it has to be this one. It's an offer you won't refuse.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: one of the greatest films ever 1+2
Review: i enjoyed 1+2 alot.the third godfather was lame but you can't have brillance all the time.but the first two are timeless and essential to anyones video collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the best trilogy ever
Review: The Godfather trilogy takes you deep into the life of people who struggles and did everything for their family. It helps you understand why such people gain guts to kill in order to protect their interest and loveones. Al pacino is at his best in this film especially in Part III. My favorite scene is when he made the confession to the priest in all honesty. That scene really moves me a lot!!! Another thing is that this film is really worth seeing over and over again. Lines such as " I command this family right or wrong", "Don't you ever takes side against the family!, ever!" and "Do you think i will make my sister a widow " really inspires me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Will American Zoetrope mean that we see DVDs of this?
Review: I really love these movies. The first two are all-time masterpieces. The third one is not as good, but a damn fine movie in it's own right.

Mr. Coppola has just started making DVDs controlled by himself, under the name of his production company, American Zoetrope. Their first release will be the late November-99 release of Coppola's Apocalypse Now, in ANAMORPHIC widescreen! This excites me to no end, because it might just mean that one day not too far away, we'll have ANAMORPHIC DVDs of the Godfather trilogy and Coppola's other masterpiece (aside from the trilogy and Apocalypse Now), The Conversation. Hopefully, he will also sit down and record commentaries for all these movies. I believe this man owns a great deal of knowledge about filmmaking, and of course about these movies specifically. To hear him talk about it would be very exciting for the true movielover.

American Zoetrope gives me hope, mr. Coppola. Please don't fail to live up to it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I wish this was the Epic/Saga but it's not!
Review: Of course all three of these films are classic, unforgettable, etc. films, especially the first two- but like the other reviewers below, I would really like to see "The Godfather Epic" or "Godfather Saga" again. Our local video rental store used to have it available for rent, but it's not there anymore - probably wore out! I just saw it on USA Network a couple of weeks ago. I believe the video version (which now appears to be out of print) was called "The Godfather Epic" and is rated "R" rather than the "PG" version on TV. I can't see this being out of print forever, though - perhaps Francis Coppola will release it with the addition of Godfather III? That would be excellent! The "Epic/Saga" features an especially great performance by Bruno Kirby as the young Clemenza, among other things, so let's keep our fingers crossed that Paramount will re-release this video. Meanwhile, if you don't have the original three films, this is a great deal!
