Godfather 3 erases all the good that 1&2 give. I have good equipment, but the audio is impossible to understand. It sounds like you are in the subway all the time, even when they clearly are no where near it. It seems like they lay down a track of loud hissing over the whole production. This is the restored version? It's a slap in the face for loyal fans.

I'm a big fan of The Godfather so I was very exited when they decided to digially remaster this. After seeing the Part 1 and 2 remastered I'm am disappointed. Yes, it does look a little better on my projector screen but not as good as I thought it would. Some parts look the same as the old version and other seens are still fuzzy. I know we're dealing with a 1970's film but still think it could look better. On a few seens there is a big piece of dust that they never got rid off. I can't believe the editors missed the dust!!

This Was the rebirth of the Godfather for me and it was worth every penny.

I absolutely agree, word for word, with unluckyfrank's review.

I too purchased the standard DVD set of 'The Coppola Restoration' and it is bad - not worth the money bad. I found myself CONSTANTLY turning up the brightness, turning down the brightness, turning up the color, turning down the color. It is unbearable!

Worst of all, I found myself yearning to watch the original release right in the middle of viewing my brand new 'Coppola Restoration'.

I was expecting James Bond quality restos, this is not even in the ballpark. The James Bond restorations and the Alfred Hitchcock restorations are stunning in their quality, the Godftaher should 'whack' the studio boss for this one!

First off, I too have seen this set offered for far less. However, at any price, it's worth it. Even if you have the 2001 set, this new version has a much crisper picture and sound, making it a much better experience to watch and fully enjoy. The new extras are wonderful such as the great documentary on the problems making the film and how the film has impacted popular culture. The leftover extras from the first set are still great like the hour-long documentary on the making of the saga and the slew of deleted scenes that do add new layers (and for thos complaining about this not being the "Saga" set, some of those scenes are included in this category). So for any fan of either these films or just great movies in general, this set is a must-have in order to enjoy these classics to their fullest.
