Review for Godfather/Godfather II Blu-ray Two Pack, Aug 10 2011
By Bobby W. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Godfather 1 & 2 [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
This is for people considering the Godfather/Godfather II Two pack in Blu-ray format.
What you get for $20 is the first two movies only, with no special features other than the original director commentary.
These are same "Coppola Restoration(s)" as the pricier set that includes Godfather Part III and an additonal disc of bonus features.
Are they as sharp and sound intensive as contemporary films on Blu-ray? No.
Are they better than the earlier DVD versions? Yes. There is still film grain and high contrast here, but this is the nature of the source material. What you won't see are the artifacts that cropped up on lower capacity DVDs.
As other reviewers have said, if you want the best transfers of these particular, seminal films, this is it. If you watch them in a darkened room you will get as close to the original circa 1970's theater experience of these films as you ever will get, and this is a good thing.
I would have liked the additional features in the more expensive set, but you have to buy all three movies to get the extras. Like many people, I am not a fan of Godfather III, so for $30 less, I got these two classics.

This 2 Pack is an amazing deal .. You get 2 Classics for the Price of just the First film .. no need to pay $30 more just for the 3rd film in the collectors set ... buy id because it is not as good as the first 2 anyway
This is a great Combo Set

GF and GFII are must haves in your collection. The third one will not be missed, especially for the price difference to get the entire trilogy with "extra" content, which I could care less about. The blu-ray does look better. Crisper, brighter pictures. Great buy
