Packaging. The Godfather Collection comes in a nice and thick box, not the cheap ones that you occasionally get. Included are the 4 disc in keep cases, which maybe doesn't look that nice, but at least it's practical. Video-Quality. Outstanding! Especially the first two ones look like you've never seen them before (but the third one is excellent as well). No traces of excessive DNR or any flaws at all. Audio I'm not an expert on that issue, but you can select from a variety of languages and the Original English Audio is of course presented in 5.1 True HD. In my opinion the audio track sounds clean and clear. Extras You get a couple of hours of excellent stuff. There are a lot of brand new extras that are presented in HD as well as the older material from DVD. Bottom-Line A must-buy for any serious lover of Italian-American cinema.

I purchased the godfather trilogy on bluray which arrived today with no problems. The Boxset itself looks great on the shelf and the films are excellent. This is a must have for any godfather fans or bluray/Boxset enthusiasts. Zavvi is a great site, very reliable and prices are cheep would recommend buying from zavvi. - Dylan

Excellent restoration like watching a new movie very good price to

Bought The Godfather on DVD (2001 version) which is widely regarded as being extremely low quality having been transferred from the original heavily damaged film reels. Switching to the restored Blu Ray edition really does make a big difference, everything is nice and crisp with good colour saturation. If you're going to be one of the best film trilogies ever then the restored version is the only way to do it justice!

Opinion seems divided on the merits of this Blu-ray set. The picture isn't reference quality but before viewing, I would suggest looking at the informative featurette entitled 'Emulsional Rescue' on disc four. In it, the team behind the trilogy's restoration tell you exactly why the films now look the way they do. The popularity of the first two movies led to so many prints being struck that the original negatives had deteriorated dramatically. The material was rescuable; nevertheless there were many choices made regarding exposure levels and colour timing. For these, the films' cinematographer, Gordon Willis, was consulted. Therefore any changes that look like errors, such as the near darkness of the opening scene or the over-exposed appearance of the wedding sequence, are entirely deliberate. They reflect the desire to return the films to their makers' original intent.

Some of the greatest films ever made and beautifully restored for this amazing boxed set! A must have for any collector

The Coppola Restoration comes in all its glory in this Bluray Collection. I have "upgraded" from the first DVD release and the improvements are quite noticeable, especially in the first two movies. Even the bonus materials benefit from the re-release, so it is highly suggested to consider this collection if you're a fan!

I will be short on this : wow, incredible movie, indeed one othe best movies ever made, for a good price. Must have!

When I first watched the godfather trilogy, I was convinced these movies are indeed treasures of American cinema and were all true masterpieces. Seeing these movies once again fully restored and in high definition allowed me to appreciate these movies even more for what they are and even find discover some elements that I had missed when I watched them on VCD.

I haven't watched these films for a number of years but they are a classic and a great watch. Bought for a Christmas present and cannot wait to enjoy!!
