The Godfather 1972
Rewatched Jul 01, 2012
FilmApe’s review:
"I'm with you now. I'm with you."
A movie that you don't just watch, you experience. The bluray presentation is absolutely stunning, making experiencing the film all the more amazing.
Need to rewatch these soon.
I'm glad this looked great on blu-ray
@grooveman: When I get the set back to you your going to love it. One of the best looking blurays I have seen.
sweet I'm excited to check it out.
Rewatched this on an old DVD copy last week, but I look forward to finally seeing the Coppola restoration on blu eventually. You are 100% correct about this film being an experience.
@Travis Lytle: When you do see this on Blu, prepare to have your mind blown.
I will! The DVD was heads and tails above the VHS (which was how I first saw it), but the DVD looks so murky now. I'm sad to have missed the Coppola restoration when it was in theaters a few months ago.
I didn't think the blu-ray was super-impressive. I mean...the movie never looked better, but compared to true 5-star picture quality like The Thin Red Line...there is no comparison.
I'd give the PQ for the Godfather blu-ray a 7/10 overall, and a 10/10 for getting it as close to perfect as it ever will be.
