Amazon.co.uk Review

There’s been some suspicion about the way some studios have shovelled back catalogue movies onto the Blu-ray format without taking the time to genuinely enhanced the picture and sound quality of the productions to make such a format upgrade worthwhile. You can aim no such qualms at Paramount Pictures with its sublime Godfather Trilogy box set, which takes arguably cinema’s most acclaimed trilogy of films (well, the first two anyway), and gives them a useful lick of paint.

The highlight of the set, as you’d expect, remains Francis Ford Coppola’s astounding trilogy itself, a studious, gripping, cross-generational tale of the Corleone family. The first two films richly deserved their many Oscar wins, and while the third is considerably weaker, it’s still not short of many impressive moments. The Godfather Trilogy is certainly one of cinema’s most impressive achievements to date.

The Blu-ray set reflects the muted palette that director Francis Ford Coppola opted for in making the films, and inevitably contrasted with a modern day big-budget blockbuster, the visual transfer isn’t going to be listed as a 1080p poster child. Yet, in perspective, this is still an excellent transfer, offering a sizable upgrade over the DVDs and making the film look and sound better than ever before. Genuine care has clearly been taken here to balance Coppola’s original intentions with high definition media, and with a solid pack of extra features to back the films up, this is an excellent box set, and set to be a very treasured one. --Jon Foster

Synopsis

THE GODFATHER is a chilling portrait of a Sicilian family's rise and near fall from power in America, and the passage of rites from father to son. Based on the novel by Mario Puzo. THE GODFATHER – PART II continues the saga of two generations of power within the Corleone family. Rounding off this epic trilogy, THE GODFATHER - PART III sees Michael searching for his successor and a way of freeing his family from a life of crime.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb, 15 Aug 2007
By S J Buck (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Disc 1 The Godfather
Disc 2 & 3 The Godfather Part II
Disc 4 The Godfather Part III
Disc 5 Bonus Materials

For those perhaps too young, and for those who just haven't had the pleasure yet, this is the film box set above all others you should own. The first two films are two of greatest films ever made. Indeed The Godfather is ranked No.1 and The Godfather II is ranked No.3 in the IMDB.com rankings as of today. Bare in mind that these films were made over 30 years ago and that is some achievement.

Part 3 is not a bad film, and by normal film standards is pretty good. However in comparison with the first two its not in the same class, and doesn't merit repeated viewings in the same way as 1 & 2.

The bonus disc contains a lot of interesting stuff:
Behind the Scenes (on location, music, screenwriting, auditions, storyboards, cinematography etc),
Additional Scenes
Family Trees
Trailers
Academy Award speeches!
Biographies.

If that doesn't convince you that you're getting good value for money, then perhaps when I tell you the total running time of all 5 discs is 710mins will (thats almost 12hours). Unlike some boxed sets the box itself is not made of thin card, and is quite sturdy - looks good on the shelf as well.

Think I'll start from the beginning again now...

5.0 out of 5 stars Quite simply the greatest three films ever made., 18 Jun 2001
By H.R.Richmond (London, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
There is no choosing between The Godfather and The Godfather part II as they are the two greatest films ever made. Geniuse direction from coppola who never again showed the same quality, outstanding performances by de Niro, Pacino and Brando among many others great cinematography by Willis and they(of course) both won hatsful of oscars including both best pictures. The Godfather part III was a big disappointment for some and I agree it is not in the same class as the first two but it is a quality film grossly let down by the laughable performance by the Director's daughter Sofia Coppola. Two thumbs up to by far the best trilogy of all time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Watch the restoration featurette first, 25 Nov 2009
By Chris White (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Godfather Trilogy [Blu-ray] [1972] (Blu-ray)
Opinion seems divided on the merits of this Blu-ray set. The picture isn't reference quality but before viewing, I would suggest looking at the informative featurette entitled Emulsional Rescue on disc four. In it, the team behind the trilogy's restoration tell you exactly why the films now look the way they do.

The popularity of the first two movies led to so many prints being struck that the original negatives had deteriorated dramatically. The material was rescuable; nevertheless there were many choices made regarding exposure levels and colour timing. For these, the films' cinematographer, Gordon Willis, was consulted. Therefore any changes that look like errors, such as the near darkness of the opening scene or the over-exposed appearance of the wedding sequence, are entirely deliberate. They reflect the desire to return the films to their makers' original intent.

I was critical of the excessive grain in An American Werewolf in London but here there's enough to remind you that this is essentially a cinematic presentation without it getting distracting. In addition to the (already comprehensive) extras ported over from the 2001 DVD release, this set includes a new documentary and featurettes in HD.

There are those who would argue that this masterpiece has never looked better and I'm inclined to agree.
