Summary: THE GODFATHER - COPPOLA RESTORATION
Comment: This is a great movie and the restoration is fantastic. The picture is clear with no noticeable scratches or dust, and the color that was added to make it resemble with looked like in at it's theatrical release gives it a sunny glow that in my opinion, gives it more life. My only problem is that upon buying this dvd, I found that the "2" disks amazon has in it's description, is really just 1. There are no bonus features except for the commentary that was included in previous releases. If you must have special features, buy The Godfather Trilogy - The Coppola Restoration it has a boat load of special features, and you can get it on blu-ray or dvd for around $65 online. Besides there not being special features or a 2nd disk, this is a great restoration that should not be passed up by fans or anyone looking to see it for the first time.

Summary: Another Hard-Core Classic!!!
Comment: This is a classic in every sense of the word! Everybody did an awesome job! Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan,Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton, Talia Shire and everybody else did great! The movie starts on the day of Don Vito Corleone's daughter's wedding day, and the Don is taking requests. His son, Michael shows up. Michael was in a war and tells his girlfriend that he is not like his mafia family. Around Christmas, Don Corleone is assassinated, but survives. Michael wants revenge. Later, when Don Corleone is getting older, and all the 5 mafia families are at war, Don is getting weak, so he wants Michael to become the new Godfather. If you love mafia movies, and classics, you'll love THE GODFATHER!!!

Summary: Perfect
Comment: This movie is strong, good script, great casting, excellent acting, and over the top directing. It is hard to fine a movie done this well, it is 29 years old and has aged well. Even if the viewer does not like mafia type of movies, he or she will watch the entire film, the audiences is glued to what will happen next as the film progresses. Its about, family, loyalty, greed, relationships, and real life. This is a great mix, and the artistic style make the film memorable.

Customer Rating:
Summary: The most overrated movie ever made!
Comment: I did indeed sit through all 57 hours of the Godfather and not only is it one of the most boring movies ever made it's completely pointless garbage. I have no clue why it's considered the greatest film ever made but then again most people are dumb so yea no suprise. The only good thing about this film is the music, if you haven't seen it don't buy into the hype that's all it is hype... BUT if you have insomnia put this movie in you should be asleep within the first 30 minutes.

Editorial Reviews:

Francis Ford Coppola's epic masterpiece features Marlon Brando in his Oscar©-winning role as the patriarch of the Corleone family. Director Coppola paints a chilling portrait of the Sicilian clan's rise and near fall from power in America, masterfully balancing the story between the Corleone's family life and the ugly crime business in which they are engaged. Based on Mario Puxo's best-selling novel and featuring career-making performances by Al Pacino, James Cann and Robert Duvall, this searing and brilliant film garnered ten Academy Award® nominations, and won three including Best Picture of 1972.
