DVD Reviews of The Godfather DVD Collection (The Godfather/ The Godfather - Part II/ The Godfather - Part III)DVD Review: Worst movies ever Summary: 1 StarsThese are by far the longest, most boring, and overall possibly the worst movies ever.
The Godfather part I comprises maybe 3 or 4 of the most boring movies ever. It's about 10 or 15 hours of stupid, inane BS that nobody could possibly care about. I tried to watch it all the way through, but fell asleep after about 6 hours.
The Godfather part II is even longer, somewhere between 15 and 20 hours, which according to Godfather fans makes it better than the first.
The Godfather part III is so boring and awful that even fans of the first two movies can't stand it.
And keep in mind, I was able to sit through all 4 or 5 hours of Citizen Kane and I actually kind of liked it, so my taste in movies is not the problem here.
DVD Review: Completely Happy Summary: 5 StarsEverything was as it should be. The box set was in excellent condition and the DVD's were in perfect shape. Thanks loads, this made my husband very happy.
DVD Review: Of course I love it! Summary: 5 StarsOf COURSE I love the product. It came as it said it would. I would just add the that Amazon sent it even earlier than expected. That;s why I keep coming back.
DVD Review: The Godfather Collection [VHS] or (DVD) A+A+A+ Summary: 5 StarsThe Godfather Collection [VHS]A+++ Rated, The Gadfather DVD Collections about a old time mob family full of top rated Actors and Actresses. The only other series of move collection that is as good as The Godfather is ROOTS, another outstandind movie Collection!
DVD Review: The Boringfather is moar liek it. LOLOL! Summary: 2 StarsI know this series is in high regard for being the greatest gangster film of all-time, so I decided to check it out myself. Originally it was WAY too long for me to even want to see, but I was curious so one afternoon I sat through all of these films. That's 8 hours I'll never get back! I could've been doing something productive like playing World Of Warcraft instead. The films dragged on WAY too long and overstayed their welcome by about an hour each. There wasn't enough violence to make this a worthwhile gangster flick. Also, it was annoying when they spoke in Italian. They should've dubbed the voices instead. No one wants to read subtitles! How inconvenient. Finally, I'm giving this 2 stars because the third one was the only watchable one. Sequels made 20 years later are the bomb!
See the new Johnny Depp movie "Public Enemies" or "Get Carter", "Be Cool" or "Dick Tracy" for real gangster films!
Description of The Godfather DVD Collection (The Godfather/ The Godfather - Part II/ The Godfather - Part III)The complete saga of the Mafia Corleone family, from Don Corleone's childhood in Sicily, his son Michael Corleone's rise to power and finally the struggle to succeed him. Contains, as originally released, the 3 Godfather films. Genre: Feature Film-Drama Rating: R Release Date: 2-MAY-2006 Media Type: DVD 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 is so flagrantly absent. Yet he is and always shall be known as the man who directed the Godfather films, a series that has dominated and defined their creator in a way perhaps no other director can understand. Coppola has never been able to leave them alone, whether returning after 15 years to make a trilogy of the diptych, or re-editing the first two films into chronological order for a separate video release as The Godfather Saga. The films are our very own Shakespearean cycle: they tell a tale of a vicious mobster and his extended personal and professional families (once the stuff of righteous moral comeuppance), and they dared to present themselves with an epic sweep and an unapologetically tragic tone. Murder, it turned out, was a serious business. The first film remains a towering achievement, brilliantly cast and conceived. The entry of Michael Corleone into the family business, the transition of power from his father, the ruthless dispatch of his enemies--all this is told with an assurance that is breathtaking to behold. And it turned out to be merely prologue; two years later The Godfather, Part II balanced Michael's ever-greater acquisition of power and influence during the fall of Cuba with the story of his father's own youthful rise from immigrant slums. The stakes were higher, the story's construction more elaborate, and the isolated despair at the end wholly earned. (Has there ever been a cinematic performance greater than Al Pacino's Michael, so smart and ambitious, marching through the years into what he knows is his own doom with eyes open and hungry?) The Godfather, Part III was mostly written off as an attempted cash-in, but it is a wholly worthy conclusion, less slow than autumnally patient and almost merciless in the way it brings Michael's past sins crashing down around him even as he tries to redeem himself. --Bruce Reid
