Summary: 4 Stars for the first, 5 for the second and 3 for the third
Review: Coppola's trilogy has withstood the test of time well. The first film has a number of strong moments but, ultimately, both Michael and Kaye's characters are underwritten. Overall, the tone and writing are amazingly consistent from film to film. The picture and sound quality is truly outstanding. Coppola's comments are very interesting and add depth to the film.The second film tends to be the strongest of the series. All the characters are more fully realized and have clearer motivation. The picture quality for the second film is stunning given the age of the negative. Both the sound and picture have been cleaned up for DVD release. The third film is a bit more problematic. Coppola's operatic finale to the Godfather saga sags a bit because of all the plot threads he tries to resolve. Nevertheless, Coppola and his collaborator Puzo manage to pull it all together. Andy Garcia is well cast although under used in his role. Sophia Coppola doesn't have the strong acting skills of Winona Ryder (originally castin the film) but she still manages to pull off her role with grace. Yes, she's miscast and yes, she's out of her element given the actors she's working with but given that this is her debut she does a credible job. The strongest parts of the third film are the various set pieces. The attempted assination at the opera is brilliantly realized. Pacino gives an admirable performance as Michael. The film really could have used Robert Duvall in his role as Tom the family attorney (he was holding out for more money and took Days of Thunder instead). George Hamilton gives a credible performance but, again, lacks the screen presence of Duvall. I don't doubt there would have been more cinematic sparks flying if Pacino and Duvall had appeared on screen together again. It's clear that when Duvall turned down the role, the part was reduced and rewritten for Hamilton. The three films together work much better than the three alone. Even if Coppola didn't intend this to be a trilogy when he started out, all three films benefit from the ability to watch the characters grow.

Summary: This is an offer you can't refuse!
Review: These are the movies that started it all. All of today's modern day mafia movies are based on these movies. I received this for Christmas and I love it. If you like good drama and lots of action, then you need to pick this box set up.

Summary: WHY
Review: I have loved the GODFATHER SAGA from the beginning. When the DVD version came out, I even purchased a DVD in order to watch it. The cinematography of the DVD version is perfect. HOWEVER my biggest and only gripe is... why did they put the extra parts on a separate CD.. why didnt they incorporate them in the movie???? That made no sense. I have the VHS chronological version with out the cut scenes.. I was hoping the DVD version would have incorporated them...as much as this thing costs... would that have been a problem???WHY.. now do I have to spend another 100 bucks for the edited snippets to be incorporated??? WHY?

Review: GODFATHER 1
When my dad first introduced me to this movie,I really thought it is about a godfather.But when my dad told me what it was about(a mafia group) I immediately said : "No Daddy,I don't want to see this movie.When the movie started,it was in a way quite boring for a 9 year old kid.But when I manage to flow with the movie,I got engrossed with it.It is about the Corleone family.They are mafia.This Don Corleone has three children and a daughter.Tom Hegon is Don Coleone's adopted son.Sonny,Micheal and Fredo are his real sons.Some parts are really brutal.So I encourage young kids to cover their eyes when it comes to a brutal part.I admire Tom for his loyalty,Sonny for his violence and Micheal for his amazing brain.The Corleone family,Tattaglia family and many other groups are fighting for supremacy.A lot of brutal actions take place.All the families fight each other.I was really anxious for the Corleone family.Watch this movie and you won't regret buying it.

Summary: couldn't stop watching!
Review: These movies are like the most addictive soap opera! We watched about an hour at a time until we had watched all three movies in one week. And to be honest, I really want to know what happens to the family after godfather III! Many people find the third movie to be the weakest, and while I will admit, that plotwise it is hard to follow (make sure you watched the other two very recently!), emotionally I thought it was necessary. The second one seemed to me to be void of emotion...especially for michael. This last one reminded us that he was human afterall.
The special features were great. very entertaining...we watched all of them immediately after watching the last movie. I highly recommend this set!
