I watched the Godfather Epic last night. I've seen the trilogy many times but I never saw the NBC special from the 70's. The Epic is a 7 hour cut of the part I and II played in chronological order with around 75 minutes of extra scenes. Personally I thought playing the movie in chronological order was interesting. Since Don Tomassino is introduced very early in the movie, when Michael is in Italy in part I, you know who the characters are and how they know this man. It did have some pacing issues since it never aired like that. I also liked the extra scenes. Some were just filler but several made the movie better. The first comes to mind with the new scenes is the introduction of Hyman Roth when Vito was young.
