Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
Generally acknowledged as a bona fide classic, this Francis Ford Coppola film is one of those rare experiences that feels perfectly right from beginning to end--almost as if everyone involved had been born to participate in it. Based on Mario Puzo's bestselling novel about a Mafia dynasty, Coppola's Godfather extracted and enhanced the most universal themes of immigrant experience in America: the plotting-out of hopes and dreams for one's successors, the raising of children to carry on the good work, etc. In the midst of generational strife during the Vietnam years, the film somehow struck a chord with a nation fascinated by the metamorphosis of a rebellious son (Al Pacino) into the keeper of his father's dream. Marlon Brando played against Puzo's own conception of patriarch Vito Corleone, and time has certainly proven the actor correct. The rest of the cast, particularly James Caan, John Cazale, and Robert Duvall as the rest of Vito's male brood--all coping with how to take the mantle of responsibility from their father--is seamless and wonderful. --Tom Keogh

This was much better a movie than it has been reviewed to be. I thought most of the acting was good, but I was kind of disgusted with the premise of Sophia Coppola's disturbing relationship with Andy Garcia. Besides, she's just a terrible actress. I think she's a brilliant director, but acting is definitely not her thing. Everything else from the movie was good, although I think that since it is later since the first and second films, it lacked a lot of impact. But I would suggest seeing this ... Read More

Like it's counterpart "GODFATHER II"; while the movie is fantastic, it is not a restoration. The missing parts are still missing. This is basically the version aired on quality television stations such as TURNER CLASSICS.

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 ... Read More

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 ...

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.
