hey chris…if you payed attention to the dialogue in the movie you would’ve noticed that the whole “no Sicilian can refuse a request on his daughter’s wedding day” is actually said and explained…which makes me wonder if you were putting true attention to it. The movie isn’t that hard to follow. Overall its a great movie that continues to inspire….but I really think you should put a little more effort into a movie before you decide to review it. Mainly because “intense concentration is not needed to know whats going on…

I have seen Part I at least 6 times. And every time I see the movie it gets better and better. Same with Part II. Part III is good too. But I don’t see why you have to give it a 4.5. I would and will give it the highest score there is. It’s one of the best movie and books I have ever seen or read. I have all three movies and books. But you did complement the movie good.:)

Way to come through. The Don is pleased. Great Review. Now I’ve got my work cut out for me: I’ve got to catch up on 2 months worth of Brainfuel posts.

The Godfather was upon released (1972), a very controversial film. It was one of the first – if not the first – to portrait the Mafia as something more than senseless murders, but as humans. Helpful, loving and a family.

I too was sceptical first time i saw it, wordering why it had made it to the top at IMDB, but after watching it a couple of times, I can see why it is the best of its time. It’s a great intriguing story.

@Chris – probably due to the number of votes for the movie.

4.5 out of 5, and the “perfect” rating I implied means it is perfect among films of this type and style.

Interestingly, on IMDb it is 9.1 stars, but I hear that Shawshank Redemption is 9.2 stars. I wonder why that hasn’t stolen the #1 spot.

I’m confused… You say it was perfect, but you only rated it 4.5 stars? Is that 4.5 out of 5, or 10?
