 Can't beat the best November 1, 2008
Nappynolaboy84 (TULANE)
This remastering of the Godfather trilogy was masterfully done, it really did do a lot better job in terms of the audio quality, the video is still a little bit rough in some places but is marginally better.
It was worth every Penny
Best thing ever. October 31, 2008

I've always been a fan of The Godfather series. This is a must buy for any Godfather fans that owns a Blu-Ray player.

It is hard to understand that with the digital restoration, they could clean up and fix many things in the image for the GODFATHER films, yet they could let the jarring white spots run throughout the films. The white spots are even more shocking esepcially when the films have a dark composition. Even if the spots are branded on the masters, they could have masked or removed these spots digitally, since they did a frame by frame restoration.
There is no point of the blu ray technology with its depth and resolution when we cannot get "pure" images as promised, and when white spots that could be easily fixed or removed ruin the images.
The studios should have a budget to fix this problem. They could spend hundreds of millions on a film, but fail to spend a bit on fixing the white spots on the blu ray releases. Blu ray should have a clean and perfect picture AT LEAST, and should surpass the theatrical experience with dirty and scratched prints (and those black spots when reels are changed), especially when Blu ray discs are not cheap.
Godfather I gets 5 stars and II gets 4, but . . . October 30, 2008
Dennis Brandt (Red Lion, PA United States)
(This is based on Godfather I and II. I have yet to see III.)
The Blue-Ray version of I leaves much to be desired. Dark scenes are REALLY dark and lack detail. Colors lean toward an annoying yellow-orange tint. II is a bit better but not much. Given that many films from the same period look beautiful, I find this puzzling. The only extra on either disc is Coppola's real-time discussion of the movie, which is fascinating in portraying yet another studio that was too stupid for its own good and nearly screwed up one of the greatest films of all time. Godfather I is a fabulous film, if disquieting in its subject matter. I was less enamored of II, which didn't know if it wanted to be a prequel or a sequel, so it did both and suffered for it. Its higher operational budget is apparent, but the film is less satisfying. Much more complex than Godfather I, I was often unable to discern the good bad guys from the bad bad guys, and there are many on both sides. In whatever form, watch at least Godfather I.
Part III October 29, 2008

One note of dissent. I like Part III much more than many of the reviewers here who simply dismiss it.
PLOT: Keeps you interested. Furthers the whole story. Has a great deal of suspense.
CINEMATOGRAPHY: The scenes in Italy were beautiful and beautifully filmed. Maybe not as impressive as _The Leopard_ but, still, impressive.
SCORE: Beautiful music. Especially the opera scenes.
BOTTOM LINE: Please don't be put off by the negativity surrounding Part III. Sure, it must exist as part of a greater whole, but it is a positive addition to that whole.
