My only complaint is the VUDU Fandango Digital Code. I prefer the Movies Anywhere platform because it is a lot more seamless and easier to use. Although VUDU Fandango can be linked with my Movies Anywhere account, the films from my VUDU Library do not transfer over to Movies Anywhere, but instead the Movies Anywhere Library transfers over to VUDU, which does no good since I do not like the platform.
Also, I have one tip for the playback error some of you may receive when trying to play the 4k Digital Version on your tv. After about an hour, I figured out why the movie would not play, while other movies would. This version of the film is in 4k UHD. If your tv or device does not have 4k UHD capability, the video player will not be able to play the video. Instead, you will have to go to the VUDU settings on that device and choose Playback Quality. Then choose the maximum quality your tv supports, which VUDU will then default reformat all of your movies into so they are playable. My tv's maximum quality is HDX (1080p), so I chose HDX. This will default the start quality of all of your movies within your tv's capability. All of my other movies on VUDU played, but The Godfather did not. It turns out all of my other movies had a maximum quality of HDX, so there was no issue when it came to playing them. But, when it came to this 4k digital copy, my tv just did not support it, and I racked my brain for an hour trying to figure out why. Like I said, VUDU is not the best platform. Hope this helps!
Let us begin with the plot. THE GODFATHER breaks free from all stereo-types. It is not a traditional "mob" movie in the sense that it does not rely on violence to energize an otherwise predictable and pedestrian plot. This film, while quite violent at times, does not dwell on violence. Instead, we see the true life of the mafia: a world run largely by businessmen in closed meetings. Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) is an aging Don of the Corleone family. He has spent his entire life building up the family from the humblest of beginnings. Now, in his old age, the Don is failing to keep up with the tides of change and his life is threatened for it. As the Don's control begins to fade, someone from the family must step forward and "take over the family business." Two mean step forward: the eldest son, Sonny Corleone (James Caan) and the family consigliere, Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall). But for all his enthusiasm, Sonny is hot-headed and ill-fit to lead. He lacks the patience, understanding, and "reasonableness" of his father. And Tom, while close to the family, is not blood and is, perhaps, too much like the old Don to move the family forward in the twentieth-century.
As it turns out, the only member of the family capable of leadership is the youngest son, Michael Corleone (Al Pacino). Ironically, Michael is the favored son--someone the old Don had plans for and the son who could finally break free of the family business and lead a normal life. Michael is reluctant to have anything to do with his family's business affairs. At the outset of the film, he does not associate himself with the family, he is in love with a woman he hopes to spend his life with, and proclaims himself to be "nothing like his father." Of course, the tragedy of the series lies, in part, in watching how good men, like Vito and Michael Corleone, become evil men through a series of little compromises.
The acting in this film, as all reviewers agree, is superb. Brando's performance as Vito Corleone is often said to be the greatest of his career. Brando manages to breathe life and complexity into the old Don. Whereas many "mafia" films rely on stereotypes and cardboard characters, Vito is someone we would love to have as our grandfather. He is kind, sensible, patient, and wise. It just so happens that he is also, at times, ruthless in his business affairs. Hats off to Brando for being able to convey that complexity. I could go on about the excellence of the supporting cast, but Al Pacino really deserves our attention here. Pacino's performance of Michael Corleone is widely regarded as one of the greatest film performances of all time. What strikes me about this film every time I watch it is the degree of character movement and development that takes place during its run time. At the beginning, we see a Michael who is somewhat shy and reluctant. We see that same Michael become saddened and outraged when his father's life is threatened, and we see him coolly and confidently transition into his role as Don, effortlessly and ruthlessly establishing his position in one swift blow. Pacino manages to make his movement legitimate and believable. We feel that time is passing and the years are changing Michael--all within the confines of a three-hour film. That's incredible and Pacino deserves more credit for it than he was given at the time of the movie's release.
Finally, in addition to the great screenplay and terrific acting, Francis Ford Coppola shines in this film. The film has beautiful direction, beautiful cinematography, wonderful pacing, great lighting...the list goes on. THE GODFATHER gets everything right.
You cannot go wrong with THE GODFATHER, particularly at the ridiculously low price you can obtain it for. The new edition is beautifully done and will be an instant favorite in your film collection.

The acting was simply amazing, what else could you say. What could be more appealing to people (even today) than watching actors like Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, James Caan, Diane Keaton, Talia Shire and Robert Duvall. This is like heaven for someone who is a fan of movies. With this movie Brando was able to bring himself back into the limelight. His performance as the godfather alone is iconic. His character has been recreated so much in films that it has almost if it has not already become a cliché. His performance though was not a cliché. His performance was subtle and breathtaking. It was so genuine and realistic that it was not just probably but definitely more genuine than Marlon Brando himself. Al Pacino was perfect for this film as well. What a way to start up your career. His character was all about depth and he displayed it perfectly. He was able to display his own inner-battles in his mind as well as the battles he had with his family, friends and enemies. His character was more of a psychological character study than anything else to me. Robert Duvall to me was the glue to the movie. He added a different perspective to everything in just that he was not Italian yet having the respect of the mafia. His character is a man of high authority within the Corleone family who was listened to and insightful;. This was simply perfect giving the film great balance throughout. The rest of the cast was just icing on the cake.
The writing was phenomenal and breathtaking. As mentioned before there has been no movie quoted more than this. It is not even the quotes though that makes the writing in here so perfect. It is the symbolism and meaning that went into every scene. There are countless symbols, messages and lines in here that are so memorable yet it is as realistic as a movie could get.
The directing by Coppola was perfect as well. Not many movies can be 3 hours and yet maintain a good level of interest from the audience like The Godfather. Coppola deserves credit for this. The symbolism and messages that went into every scene also has to do with the directing not just the writing. The movie is so well edited and strung together that the only word that could come to my mind is perfection.
The cinematography and music were perfect. The score of this movie is one of the most memorable ever. If you were to hear it you could identify it right away. The cinematography was what actually really drove this movie. The Godfather seems to have this mystique to it, it gives you the feeling you are watching something truly remarkable.
The horse's head, the scene of Brando running with his groceries, the coffee shop scene, "I'll make him an offer he can't refuse" and countless other scenes and quotes from this movie have become a part of our culture. These scenes and lines have been recycled over and over again in comedies, commercials, etc. that it is impossible to avoid the greatness of The Godfather. The Godfather is like a disease once you see it you fall in love with it.
