Summary: An offer you cant refuse
Review: By far some of the best movies i have ever seen. Al Pacino, after seeing these movies, is in my eyes one of the best, if not the best actor of his era, and one of the best of all time. So often you find movies with a incredible first movie, then the sequels tend to end up horrible.... But not this series. All three are by far some of the best movies out there. These movies also involve some of the best casting i have seen. With Marlon Brando and Al Pacino, and also Andy Garcia, who i think was well casted for the third movie. Maybe a little expensive to buy this set, but its definitely worth it. I would suggest this to anyone. Even if you arent interested in the mafia.

Summary: godfather trilogy DVD
Review: I eagerly awaited this title to be released on DVD, however when I received it how disappointed was I!!!

I have watched the Godfather many times on VHS format & had the luck to view it as it should be seen - starting from scicily right through to the end (with all the cut scenes included in the final film)

I sat down to watch & looked forward to a great evenings entertainment - I was disappointed!!

A great opportunity has been lost to release this film on DVD the way it was meant to be shown - I watch it more on VHS now, more than before!!

Maybe there will be a directors cut in the future!!

I live in hope

Summary: Oh my god!
Review: To the people that were waiting on the Godfather to come out on DVD,get this set.You won't be disappointed.Why? It's far better than the VHS set.The extras disc (disc 5) is worth half the price I paid for the whole set.Not only do you get Godfathers 1,2 & 3,but on disc 5 you get interviews with Robert Deniro,Al Pacino,James Caan,Talia Shire and pretty much the whole cast.For the people that remember the Godfather Saga when it came on NBC during the late 70's,all the extra scenes they inserted are on Disc 5.

Summary: Wonderful supplement to the Godfather legend
Review: The Godfather movies are the stuff of cinematic legend. Godfather's I and II are two of the finest movies ever made and both rank as #1 and #3, respectively, in the IMDB Top 250 All-Time list. Godfather III is a lesser film and confusing to watch if you have not seen the first two. But, it is still a compelling chapter in the Godfather legacy. The release of the Godfather DVD collection has been long-awaited and the result is very rewarding. In addition to getting the digitally remastered prints of each movie, there is an entirely separate CD that is packed with a cornucopia of extras about Godfather Trilogy. The extras are simply wonderful. There is the obligatory 'making of' documentary (which is supposed to be very good, but I have no seen yet), clips from the 1973 and 1975 Academy Awards where each movie took home best Oscar from the previous year, and family tree that shows how all members of the Corleone Family are connected (with brief biographies of each). The true gem, however, is the deleted scenes section. It makes sense that, in the interest of running time and story continuity, these scenes were left out. However, the deleted scenes do not contradict anything from the movies and actually provide compelling background and side stories. Among the list of deleted scenes is one where Michael Corleone tracks down and orders the hit on his bodyguard that was responsible for the death of his first wife 10 years earlier and another scene where Vito Corleone exacts revenge on all the men responsible for his family's death in turn of the century Sicily (not just Don Ciccio). Even if you own all the Godfather movies on VHS and have seen each of them many times, the Godfather DVD collection is still a 'must-have'. It broadens and expands the already mesmerizing world of the Corleone Family.

Summary: WOW!
Review: Not only are the Godfather movies thought of as some of the best films of all time, but now that they're all on DVD they are unstoppable. In my opinion, The Godfather is the greatest movie of all time. The Godfather part II is also in the top 5 greatest of all-time, while the third may be in the top 50.

The Godfather is clearly Francis Ford Coppola's best work along with Mario Puzo. This movie displays an organized crime family like no other. It starts out with a brilliant wedding scene and shows the Godfather, Vito Corleone(Marlon Brando), carrying out an old tradition of listening and agreeing to do favors for friends since it is the day of his daughter's wedding. Later in the movie Vito is shot and nearly killed, which is when Micheal Corleone (Al Pacino) begins his journey to the top of his family. The movie is full of great mob hits an there isn't a dull moment. I really love when Micheal travels to Sicily and explores his roots.

The second film is set up in a different format, going back in forth from the past to the present. In this film, a young Robert De Niro plays a young Vito Corleone. Although this takes away a lot of Pacino's screen time it is brilliant. Robert De Niro steals the screen playing young Vito and showing his rise to a mafia boss. In this movie Micheal is almost killed which leads to him playing cat and mouse, trying to find out who did it. Then there is the alternate story line with De Niro. Over all this movie is just as good as the first.

Now we come to the third installment of the Godfather series. This film is not nearly as strong or moving as the first two, but still very good. It is hard to appreciate it after watching the first two Godfather movies since those two will make any movie look bad. This movie is more slow-paced and depressing. A much older Al Pacino returns to play Micheal Corleone. Instead of dealing with other big bosses, drug deals, or casinos, Micheal chooses to get into business with the Vatican. What really hurts this movie is the relationship between Micheal's daughter and Micheal's former brother SOnny's bastard son. This kind of grosses you out since you know there cousins but other than that everything is great.

There is a fifth disk in this collection with tons of extras, some of the best I've ever seen on a DVD. There are hours of documentaries with all of the actors and crew.

If you are a movie fan and collector then you must have The Godfather DVD Collection. I promise that you will not be disappointed.

Summary: And once again....
Review: And once again this collection proofs to me that continuing a succesfull story can easily end in disaster. The first Godfather movie was a great success and also very intruiging in my opinion. However; the films which follow aren't as great as the first. Still I think this collection is something you simply can't miss when you're a DVD collector. The things which make this collection very good are all the extras. All the three movies have trailers and lots of extra information. And there is ofcourse also a seperate DVD with lots of bonus material.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Epic Trilogy
Review: These three movies are incredible. It was just recently that I first viewed them and I was utterly impressed. Al Pacino gives such an incredible preformance in each episode and the supporting acting in sublime. A story of a family's struggle to protect each other in the darkness of the American mofia. It is filled with coflict, tragedy and remorse. A powerful story that you will never forget.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Everything The Ultimate Godfather Fan Wanted...Plus More!
Review: In films of recent memory, none has such chewable dialogue as The Godfather. Everyone of my friends (including me) have quoted these films until we are blue in the face...And guess what? Were still breathing! This eagerly anticipated DVD Set delievers all the goods. This "Bonus" disc has absolutely everything you ever wondered about the series of movies. The deleted scenes were just as good as the movie, so that proves that Francis Ford Coppola is a pure genius. The DVD has deleted scenes from part one, two, and three. They have the theatrical trailers (which are absolutely dreadful in quality as well as the deleted scenes) which is kind of weird to watch seeing I was born in 1979. The timeline is also good, along with the interviews with Ford Coppola, Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, James Caan and Robert DeNiro. But they don't have one thing to play back for all Fredo (John Cazale) fans. The DVD transfers on the DVD are not of the best quality, but you got to keep in mind the first and second were made in the early 1970's. The DVD widescreen was the most annoying thing. I love the "2:35:1" widescreen, but this has the "1:85:1" which is basically a full screen version on DVD! This triology is about the rise, fall, rise, fall, ect. of the Corleone mob family. It has blistering performances from Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan and Robert DeNiro. The third is the one most disappointing, but hey for the 1st & 2nd plus the bonus disc you get, the deal evens out. Also another bad thing is that the 2nd film is on 2-discs just like Pearl Harbor. But who does'nt have time to change the disc to see The Godfather Part II? For all loyal fans, the rumors on the market is that Coppola is remaking the box set. Which might add a better transfer, a better widescreen, and maybe more Godfather goodies? Lets Hope. If you have'nt seen The Godfather Triology, then what are you waiting on? If you love mob movies like Casino (Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci), Goodfellas (Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci), Donnie Brasco (Johnny Depp, Al Pacino) and Once Upon A Time In America (Robert De Niro, James Woods). Then you better see these. Compare those to these and you can see the difference.
