Summary: The best mafia movie series so far
Review: I preordered this DVD long before it is released. I like it so much. The first episode is classic and the 2nd episode is even
better. Robert De niro is quite charismatic as the growing mafia
boss and the different scences intervened together quite well.
The third one is not as good as the first two. However, it is still pretty awesome to watch. The extra disk is not worth that much. I think that only crams more stuff in one dvd box so that the customers may feel they have got more than they should have with that price.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Perfect Box Set...But lacking...
Review: This set is pretty much a masterpiece but it's lacking a few things. I think they should have some posters of the movie attached along with an interview with Bridget Fonda. She is the most amazing actress ever. Plus, they should of had something like a life size poster of Marlon Brando. I'm not saying he should have been naked, but a poster would have done good.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ONE SCENE IS MISSING!
Review: The final scene of GODFATHER PART 2 where Diane Keaton is seen
lighting a candle in church is absent from the DVD. What
happened? I wrote to the Coppola organization and the person
who responded was not familiar with the scene. Otherwise it
is a great set. You can actually program Part 2 so that you see
all the DeNiro scenes first. Then watch the Brando version and
then Disc 2 of Part 2. IF ANYONE KNOWS WHY THAT SCENE WAS NOT
INCLUDED PLEASE E-MAIL ME.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WONDERFUL
Review: The whole thing is terrific the third movie is mediocre but the rest is great and the bonus materials are amazing this a great and exciting thing

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Superb Filmmaking
Review: Abetted by director Francis Ford Coppola's engaging audio commentary, "The Godfather DVD Collection" remains a must-have for any cinema aficionado, even though Robert Duvall's presence is sorely missed during the underrated third installment. Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, John Cazale and Robert De Niro deliver classic performances in Coppola's absorbing crime trilogy, which still packs a powerful punch. The supplementary materials on Disc 5 are excellent, particularly the deleted scenes and Academy Award acceptance speeches. With the exception of "Apocalypse Now" (1979), "The Godfather" saga represents Coppola's best work to date.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Almost a gem
Review: The DVD package for the most part is a gem.

The Movies, Godfather I & II need no review, and III is good enough along side the other two.

Disk five is full of information and Easter eggs that really should be boring, and yet are done in such a way that even the most trivial piece of information is made interesting and exciting. There's enough there to please and educate any Godfather fan, maybe just leaving you wanting a little bit more.

I was disappointed that the deleted scenes weren't incorporated into the full features, but they were at least included, and exciting to see.

The big letdown for me was the feature I most eagerly anticipated - Francis Ford Copolla's commentary on top of each movie. I was exasperated by the second hour of the first movie, having heard for the umpteenth time how close he was to being fired, and why, and when, and by who, and on what day and for what reason - did I already say that?

Incredible classic scenes are being played, and instead of talking about the scenes, the difficulties, the stories, the actors, the FILM... it was all about him, his low budget and how often he was almost fired. By the third hour I was groaning.

Besides this wasted opportunity to really experience scene by scene how this movie was made, I'm glad this DVD came out. It's a welcome addition to my collection of classics.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: What a way to spend a rainy day
Review: I never watched any part of the series. I heard about the famous horse head but that wa sit. Therefore it was given to me as a gift & I was skeptical about liking such a collection without ever watching it before. Boy was I surprised. This is an AWESOME series. I had no idea. I'm Italian and fell in love with my ancestors all over again. Those were the days. The story line is incredible and was very disappointed that the series would end with Part 3 & the death of Michael. I would like to see a 4 with Vincent C. as godfather. But why ruin a good thing right. All in all this is a great deal, get them together. And watch 1 right after the other like I did. DVD is the way to view it since you can get subtitles in case you miss something they said. Brush up on your italian too (there are subtitles though).

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: glitchy DVDs
Review: I love I and II, and I like III. That said:

On this DVD set, on all four movie DVDs, pressing the "Top Menu" button on my DVD remote makes the movie start to play. Weird.

The sound quality on the second twenty minutes of II is utterly horrible; it sounds like the dialogue is being filtered through a pillow.

II being on two separate disks is a minor annoyance, but it is an annoyance that seems to be used just to market this as 5 DVDs instead of 4.

The "clever" main menu visuals include a background that freeze frames every twenty seconds or so.

The dialogue in the opening scene of I seems a couple milliseconds off between the audio and video - just enough to be noticeable.

I am very glad I have this DVD set, but be prepared to be annoyed. The amateurs who did the transfer for this set should find a new line of work.

Review: Cool!!!
Excellent image and sound. Very good extras. There is continuity in the 3 films, impossible not to have them.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: For the true GF fan
Review: I have been a Godfather fan for years and have seen all three movies many times. This collection is a must for the true fan. Not only is the quality exceptional, the extras are excellent. If you have seen the movies more than once, than you will love the feature which lets you hear the director's commentary while you watch. It will give you insight into the casting, filming, script writing, etc that you won't get anywhere else. It takes the movie to another level for the Godfather fanatic. You will also enjoy the deleted scenes and many of the multiple added features on the fourth disc. Worth the investment for a set of films that will live forever as true classics.
