The Godfather Box set

[Morthoseth]

Went into town at lunchtime and bought this today, and am curious, i bought it because the amount of people who say its great is a lot

Never seen any of them before, what am i likely to expect? Should i be looking forward to going home to watch them right now?

 

[EasyG]

good films, but scarface is miles better IMO.

 

[Sic]

i wouldn't expect to watch them all tonight!

they're a banquet...marvellous films! third isn't as good...but 1 and 2 are totally awesome. the kind of film that's so good, you'll only watch it a couple of times...unless you're really weird!

scarface is good too, but it's pretty different imo...Godfather has a better story.

Part II is generally considered the best but I preferred Part I, possibly because I read the book first and the movies seemed to deviate from the structure (the book is also in 3 sections but they dont relate exactly to the 3 movies) a bit and I lost the flow of the story by the end of Part II. I've not watched Part III.

This proably goes without saying but don't dare browse the 'net as you watch them. The acting is superb and there is a lot said without words.

Me too. James Caan is superb in the first film and tops off an already amazing cast. The third part is OK but rather political for my tastes - I also found it fairly infuriating because of Andy Garcia's character's attitude, though he plays the part well.

Fantastic box set.
As above, I and II are the best and the third less so but still a good movie.
Just a let down after the first two.

Never seen any of them before

I LOVE then ALL, Quality films There are rather long, but i really enjoyed them.

 

[PrettyInPink]

I enjoyed them all

Going to buy the boxset with b-day money me thinks

The price for the boxset seems to be quite cheap now so well worth it IMO.

Bought the boxset myself about 5 months ago as it was £14.99, but i've yet to set aside a good 5 hours to watch each film.

 

[Mundu]

I bought the boxset ages ago but only seen the first film and that was when it came on TV!

 

[Big Kev]

A brilliant box set, of 3 awesome films, including part 3, which isn't as bad as a lot of people say, just not quite as good as the first 2.

 

[MR_Punk]

Ive got all 3 on DVD not the boxset. Ive never got round to watching them - had them since January!

+44

Go back to the menu, go into 'extras' or 'subtitles', whatever is there and select English subtitles for Italian. I've bought a few DVD's recently that require this. I have no idea why their doing this now.

I'm sure I read somewhere that Coppola only made a third movie because he got into a spot of bother, financially.
