Reassembling many of the cast members who helped make The Godfather™, Coppola has produced a movie of staggering magnitude and vision; the film received eleven Academy Awards® nominations, winning six including Best Picture of 1974.In the annals of sequel history, The Godfather: Part II somehow manages to be a monumental success. I’m someone who can’t jump into that debate of whether the first or the second film is better. They’re both incredible to me. They truly feel like one cinematic experience to the point that when they crafted The Godfather Saga cut for television editing the two films together chronologically, it was seamless. My lone complaint with this 4K release of the trilogy is we don’t get that multipart re-edit of the first two films. Regardless, it’s very difficult for me to watch The Godfather without jumping right into The Godfather: Part II. They’re one story.

Often imitated yet never equaled, Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather Trilogy rightly belongs in the library of any serious student of cinema. Paramount’s new 4K release represents these films well indeed, with the best video quality on any home format to date, along with a wealth of new and legacy special features. This may well end up being regarded as the best UHD release of the year. It’s not only highly recommended, it’s not to be missed.

Both editions contains five new bonus features, such as a specially-filmed introduction from Coppola himself, alongside the 18 legacy bonus features available on previous Godfather trilogy editions. woods and other ornate appointments present with wonderful clarity, pushing beyond 1080p limits and capturing natural, filmic definition both in The film looks beautiful in 4K, as you’d expect, and I’m sure many pixels will be spent on comparisons between the Blu-ray version and this one. An incredible amount of work was put into preserving the film, as displayed in a couple of the new bonus features, and I’ll get to that later in this review. Coppola begins his legendary trilogy, masterfully balancing the story of the Corleone's family life and the ugly crime business in which they are engaged. Based on Mario Puzo's best-selling novel and featuring career-making performances by Al Pacino, James Caan and Robert Duvall, this searing and brilliant film garnered ten Academy Award® nominations, and won three including Best Picture of 1972.
Nearly sixteen years after the flawless sequel comes the most flawed film of the franchise The Godfather: Part III. Or, as Coppola wants to call it now - The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone. This film was in development for ages with a variety of players attached at various moments in its genesis. Similar to another underwhelming trilogy capper - Alien 3 - there were a lot of different ideas on how to keep the series going and few of them were worth the effort. When this film finally came together it was rushed through production being written, filmed, and edited inside of a year to meet a mandated studio release date. On top of that, the best idea for the sequel wasn’t the one that made it to the screen.The saga could have easily ended there, with Michael in the role of the lonely king on the throne, ruler of all he surveys and without enemies, but bereft of the one thing that his father said was more important than anything else. Where the first film was about the transformation of Michael, the second one is a tragedy about his “Succeed at all costs” mentality. I don’t think a third installment was necessary. The Godfather Part II: English Dolby TrueHD 5.1 Surround,French, Japanese, Spanish - Latin American Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround,English, French, Japanese Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono The Godfather trilogy, taken as a whole, can be regarded as a masterpiece. Part I and Part II easily fit that description and remain essential viewing for any film fan, and whilst Part III, even in its newest, director favoured cut, doesn’t manage to reach those lofty heights, it does nevertheless maintain the gravitas and brings to a close a legacy that continues to endure. When picture, sound, design, story, casting and themes come together, a truly special film therein lies; to do that twice is practically unheard of – Coppola managed it with The Godfather, little wonder it continues to enthral to this day. As a bonus—and thus further stressing Coppola’s preference for the new Coda version of The Godfather: Part III—the original and 1991 cuts of the third film are included on a separate 4K disc, and to Coppola’s credit, he commissioned restorations of these versions as well. A handful of new extras have been prepared for this release, including some behind-the-scenes footage of the first Godfather and remembrances by set photographer Steve Shapiro, but most exciting are the extended looks at the arduous restoration process. Everyone involved takes justifiable pride in the careful work that was done for this release; particularly revealing are comparisons of the new transfers to the 2007 restorations, themselves lauded at the time but now wholly obsolete. A slew of previously released extras are also included, ranging from deleted scenes from all three films to retrospective documentaries on the first Godfather’s complex and fraught production to the impact of the trilogy.
