Throughout his long, wandering, often distinguished career Francis Ford Coppola has made many films that are good and fine, many more that are flawed but undeniably interesting, and a handful of duds that are worth viewing if only because his personality

The three films will only be released together in this set. The Godfather and The Godfather Part III will each be on one disc, and The Godfather Part II will take two discs. The first of the good news? Francis Coppola has recorded full-lenth audio commentaries for all three films!
But wait, there's a fifth disc that will blow your socks off! Check this out -- the bonus disc contains 3+ hours worth of special features, including: > "The Godfather Family: A Look Inside" documentary > "Francis Coppola's Notebook", an inside look at taking the book to screen! > "On Location" with production designer Dean Tavoularis! > "The Godfather Behind The Scenes" 1971 featurette! > "The Cinematography of The Godfather"! > "The Music of The Godfather" -- two featurettes! > "Coppola and Puzo on Screenwriting"! > Storyboards from GF2 and GF3! > "The Corleone Family Tree" character and cast bios! > Academy Award® acceptance speeches! > Photo galleries with captions! > Theatrical trailers! > Filmmaker bios! > Corleone Family timeline, with real-life events mixed in! > Never-seen alternate opening of GF3! > And "all" of the extra footage found in the televised Godfather Saga!
The picture quality looked fantastic -- Coppola's American Zoetrope did a wonderful job restoring the films! From what I could tell, the sound quality was perfect, and the on-screen menus looked great. And the DVD packaging looks very nice.
All three films are in widescreen format with English 5.1 surround sound, French mono, and English subtitles.
Perhaps the only "bad" news I heard was that there were no plans at this point to release the chronological version on DVD. Francis said that the films were meant to be seen with the flashbacks, and I tend to agree. The biggest plus of having The Godfather Trilogy or Epic on tape, or watching The Godfather Saga on TV, was all the extra footage included. Well, the bonus disc in The Godfather DVD Collection contains "all" of the extra footage, and even something we've never seen anywhere before: an alternate opening for The Godfather Part III. Francis didn't give a firm "no" though; he cited technical reasons for not being able to include all the extra footage on DVD: the different scenes are in various levels of production ("they weren't mixed and scored"), making it difficult to add them seemlessly with today's technology. Maybe, but they seemed to be okay in the boxed sets and on TV to me.
Do yourself a favor and order the biggest DVD release of all time!
About the movies themeselves, every time I watch #I, I always come up saying that has to be the best movie of all time. I don't care all that much about the Miami section of #II but when the last hour of that film comes up and Michael tells Fredo "he's not a brother, he's not a friend" and then "forgives him" at the funeral (while giving Neri the not so forgiving look) well, I'm just not so sure which ones is the best.
#III is obviously not in the same league as the other II. It has plenty of sublime moments but:
a) If not Winona Ryder, why did it have to be Sofia ? Why couldn't Coppola face the truth while watching the dailies ?
b) Why cut Tom Hagen, my single favorite character of the first 2 movies ?
c) Who can buy Michael's son going from law student to established opera singer in about 2 weeks ?
Andy Garcia may be best thing in this movie but as good an actor as he is he can't possibly convince you it hurts him to dump his cousin or, for that matter, dump Bridget Fonda for his cousin.
Still, the opera ending is phenomenal and Sofia's death scene incredibly powerful (thanks to Pacino, obviously). Michael Corleone's confession as well as his death scene are two of my favorite moments of the series so I can not consider #III a total waste.
Motion picture history as a whole wouldn't be the same without the Corleones and forgive me for not including any "offer that can not be refused" in this review.

It is not just the fact that it is on Blu-ray that makes it better, we have had that option for years now. It is all about the fact that Francis Ford Coppola went back and reworked the entire series, virtually frame by frame by way of the negatives, to clean up some of the darker and grainier scenes as well as tone down some of the over exposed scenes, like the famous opening wedding scenes of the first film. The sound is also crisper and cleaner but it is mostly about the visual achievements, these films just look like they were shot yesterday and not back in the 70s and early 80s.
There is no need to explain plot points, story lines or scenes, we all know what these films are. They are in fact, the standard by which all "gangster" films and TV series are judged today and have been for years and years. They are the pinnacle of the genre.
This edition is quite simply, the best visual and audio experience that you can have, while seeing them. While the 2nd film's flash back scenes, illustrating Vito's rise to success are meant to look a little more period in scenery and feel, we now get to see and feel that, without the grainy images. Especially the darker scenes.
If you own this on DVD, there is no doubt that you will be blown away by this edition of the films. If you already own the Blu-ray edition, I will tell you this, the improvement is not as drastic as the leap from DVD but it is still very clearly - an upgrade. A noteworthy upgrade.
For those of you who are truly serious fans of the series, I am willing to bet my bottom dollar that not one of you would regret spending under $30 on upgrading to this lovingly restored and perfected masterpiece. Whether this work was a studio inniated money grab or not, it doesn't matter, we are the winners in this. The series is once again - the standard. Now, not just for what it is but also for the unbelievable presentation this story.
