Customer Reviews: Showing reviews 1-5 of 6 1 2 Next » Classic in a fresh light. September 5, 2010 Barbara Amell This is a marvelous way to experience The Godfather I and II. In the 1980s these two classic films were broadcast on television with the events from both films placed in chronological order, and with added scenes not used in the theatrical releases. These include a pivotal scene with Brando and Pacino in which we learn why Michael entered the family business after returning from Italy. We see De Niro's Vito hunt down the two men who hunted him as a child, the violence placed in stark contrast to the gorgeous imagery Coppola created. And we get to see the fate of Fabrizio,the traitor responsible for the death of Michael's first wife, in scenes omitted from the second film. In this video version the portions censored for television have been restored. While Francis Ford Coppola went on record as saying he did not like the films presented in this way, I greatly enjoy seeing the Corleone saga from start to end. It is a great pity the films have not been released in this format for DVD. Cancelled order - Not on DVD February 26, 2009 Vincent C. Vannicola (Barneveld, NY) 0 out of 6 found this review helpful I cancelled the order immediately after placing it when I realized it was on VHS instead of DVD. I always wanted an uncut version of the Godfather Epic on DVD. I viewed many DVD versions that delete up to 25% of the original material that I remember so vividly when I viewed the movie around 1972. When I placed the order I thought the problem was solved and I was getting the uncut version on a DVD. It turned out to be on VHS. Since I don't have VHS playing equipment, there was no purpose in buying a video cassette. Epic Proportions November 16, 2006 Michael L. Brookins (San Antonio, Texas) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful For the 'Godfather' afficianado, this is the film for you. The story was well adapted for film from Mario Puzo's sweeping saga and even more so, gives veiled insights into real life mafia events. Although the studio produced the 'Epic' without Francis Ford's full consent, Mr. Coppola should be more than proud of the praise this version received. I have heard that Mr. Coppola refuses to let this version be reissued in DVD format, but I hope that not only is it released in the future, but that 'all' additional footage is restored. By that, I mean that I have seen additional footage on the TNT and TBS versions of the film that was not even released in the Epic. So, to all who revere this film, keep your fingers crossed in hopes that the future will bring us 'The Godfather Saga'. I enjoy this version more... March 27, 2005 F. A Kendrick (Powder Springs, Georgia United States) 27 out of 27 found this review helpful I'll preface this by saying that it's best you watch the originals first (though most have already seen them). The first theatrical release is legend. The Godfather II was also remarkable, providing the incredible backstory for Vito as a child and how he came to be. It reveals the details of his past that most were anxious to discover after viewing Godfather I. As such, the slower pacing and darker qualities of the second film were not a liability. This epic version was edited chronologically, which means you actually see mostly Godfather II for the first third of the epic. For some first-time viewers this version may not work as well. I actually own the DVD box collection with films 1,2 and 3. When I'm in the mood to watch The Godfather I & II films however, I always find myself pulling out this version on VHS instead. I much prefer watching this family's story unfold over time. I sincerely hope that they release a DVD version soon. I'm afraid that my VCR player might eat the tape someday from too many viewings. Godfather - The Complete Epic is a must for fans of these films. The finished feature is better than the sum of it's parts. November 24, 2004 Dennis M. Hanna (St. Louis, Missouri) 9 out of 9 found this review helpful I purchased the "Godfather Epic" years ago. After watching it I felt as if I had seen the godfather for the first time. Now I am praying for a DVD presentation to be released. Kieth J Joyce gives a very accurate review and I couldn't agree more with it. Now, if the studio would just release a DVD version......
