The Godfather Trilogy (DVD 2001)

I love the classique trilogy set. i would like to purchase it before from shops but it was really expensive. thanks to ebay. now i have this set in the house.

THIS WAS A FANTASTIC BARGAIN VERY AFFORDABLE SOMETHING I HAVE WANTED FOE A LONG TIME. THE PLACE TO SHOP HAS GOTTA BE E BAY EVERYTIME FOR ME

Before I start the main review, let me tell you that I was biased towards liking these films before I saw them, since I am a bit of a Mafia "fanboy" (if such a thing exists). However, the small amount of leeway i was ready to give the films proved completely unnecessary as I was blown away by how fantastic they were.

Before the endless praise begins, I had one slight, niggling complaint about these films, specifically the first one, because ordinarily I hate watching a DVD with subtitles except if it's a foreign film, because I end up concentrating on the subtitles and not the film. In the first film, I was forced to use subtitles a lot of the time because I couldn't understand what on earth Marlon Brando was talking about! Tat was my only complaint about the films, though.

Now for the good points: The scripts are solid, the characters are flawless (yet flawed in a way that makes them human), there is a perfect blend of action and explanation, the story is carried to the end with no loose plot threads left, the perfect actors were selected the roles, the camera work is brilliant and the sets are diverse and exciting. Basically, but for the cotton wool lining Brando's cheeks, these films would be perfect in every way. They are close enough to make them all must-have purchases, and to merit a score of...

97/100

execellent quality,bought as christmas present for my son.has watched several times already.wuold recomend to any collectors or movie fans who haven't seen it.

bought for a present, delivered realy quick. sealed and ready to parcel. daughters boyfriend was delighted with it.

These are classics! An excellent box set. Some of the finest acting, direction and storyline ever created. Well worth the money and a definate 'must have' for all true film buffs!! 5*'s

my son loves these films even though his only 11 he loves the godfather see it on ebay couldn t resist it a great buy and excellent condition there is nothing i dislike about it

I bought this as a gift to my husband as we have always wanted but just never got. It is classic an well worth investing in. See Al Pacino in his early years.

Even better that in a gift set.

What is there not to like about this fantastic set of classic mafia films?..... I had seen them all many times before but never owned them.... They are the sort of films that you could watch every year and although you know what is going to happen you are still mesmerized and drawn into this murderous family at their days work!!!!

Exactly what I wanted,a present for my son@s birthday. He had never seen it before and loved it.He is 278 years old and loves all the modern DVD's. Every time I watch this I see something new in it. They definatly are classic films.

I guess it was cheap and and the delivery was prompt.Also the quality was immaculate.I just love the DVD Godfather Trilogy set.

Never recieved dvd cost me £18.50 to find out seller was a con man. But paypal did a great job getting me back £3.50!

Recognized as being the Greatest Trilogy ever made by critics and audiences alike. These three films consist of some of the finest acting you'll ever see, stunning soundtrack and a truly memorable storyline. These films capture the period in which they are set perfectly.

The 3 movies are a credit to everyone who was involved in making them possible. The first two films are considered by many, including myself to be possibly the greatest films ever made, and even though the third in the installment doesn't live up to the first two it still remains a great film, with the ending of it being the finest i have ever seen in a film.

A must see for any film lover. A truly remarkable achievement!

Bought for my son Neal, loves the films, first time he has watched them and asked for them after he had played the ps2 game, he keeps the sub titles on all the time and can speak a little Italian, so, apart from the films being classic, in great condition, with some of the best actors ever to grace the big screen, it has taught my son to speak another language, so im well pleased with this purchase!

I bought this item because my son wanted to have the 3 Godfather films. He is very satisfied with it and I feel that the price paid is a reasonable one.

This is a excellent crime movie. With a excellent cast. A Must see movie, You cant get bored of this Movie

I love the fact that it is a proper complete set. These films are absolute masterpieces! The boxset includes all 3 films plus a documentary on the making of etc.

The Godfather films are a truly brilliant trilogy. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola and wonderfully cast they tell the story of the Corleone crime family. Throughout the collection we get to see how they achieved their rise to prominence and how Michaels vow to one day become legitimate never seems to materialise.
Parts I through III tell how a young Italian immigrant to New York found his way into the dirty and corrupt world of mob life eventually prospering and gaining the respect and fear of both distinguish and ordinary people. We see how in the changing of the guard the death of the 'Don' brings his young war hero son Micheal into the family business. This new role is something that will change him forever.

Although not based on actual events you get the impression that the films do provide an accurate, in-depth, insight into the activities of a leading mob family.

Indeed the first thing you realise is that for the Corleones, family is the most important thing, yet at the same time it is the people you love and trust who are most likely to stab you in the back.

Marlon Brando, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro are hugely convincing and superbly supported throughout and help bring to life this amazing set of films. Some have said that Part III was not of the same standard of the other two and was used more to cash in on the Godfather name. However I feel that it is both a high quality film and a very fitting end to the story charting Michaels later years and repentance on his quest for redemption.

I would certainly recommend this set I think it is quite a bargain.

Everything about "The godfather" is fucking great! fully and totally recomended
Marlon Brando is one of the best actors in the world anyway so you don't have to be a genius to figure out its gonna be a great movie! Al pacino is just as great! king of all gangster films!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

I dont know wether this is a wind up .But I have already reported this item NOT RECIEVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A superb trilogy, arguably the best gangster/ mafia films around. A must see and a must for any respectable DVD collection.

Quite simply, the absolute best gangter/mafia film series of all time.

The length of the films helps to build an incredible atmosphere and envelopes the audience in the life of the characters right from the start of the first film and all the way up to end of the last.

You will not be dissapointed!

" the greatest trilogy of all time "

amazing films the original godfather has to be the best i think but take nothing away from the two sequels as they are very gripping also.
