fanboy is focusing on what's most important
If you’re attempting to accomplish this goal, beware: each DVD in the series is about 3 hours. These are marathon films.
Despite the length, the first and second Godfather movies are spectacular. These became instant classics for me – the acting is really great.
However, I didn’t like the third one much because it was rather hard to follow. I found myself getting the characters confused, with all the people getting wacked. I also didn’t understand the whole business deal they had with the Vatican.
