I just bought the Godfather collection yesterday and I'm extremly happy. So far I've only watched part one with new 5.1 mix and dir. commentary.
The picture, especially in the beggining, is bad. I know I might sound ungrateful but compared to versions I saw on tv, I would even say it looks identical. I have to say it's a mixed bag. Some scenes are horrible, vhs quality, and then others (mostly the outdoor scenes) look fantastic.
The main problem I noticed, for lack of proper term, is where things like someones shirt, and when a person moves it looks like some of the shirt doesnt move with the rest of the shirt.
The sound, well, I'm not gonna complain too much. In the beggining, the rears were hardly, to my ears never, used but then during the scene at the hospital and micheal meets up with that cop, well at the point the rears kick in REALLY loud and scared the daylights outta me since I hadn't heard anything from them since the movie started.
It almost seems odd because then they (the rear speakers) are hardly used again until Mike meets at the little resteraunt, there the trains going by are blasted in the rear and then when he's in Italy the rears are used again prodominently with the sound of the wind and what sounds like rattle snakes in the fields.
Other than those scenes the sound is pretty Mono. Seems odd, at least to me, that only a few scenes got the full 5.1 treatment when others could of benefited.
