Summary: OTHER MOB MOVIES JUST "SLEEP WITH THE FISHES."
Review: THE ONE & ONLY DEATHSQUAD'S GHOST FACED KILLER IS CONVINCED THAT THE GODFATHER IS NOT ONLY THE BEST MOB FLICK OF THEM ALL, BUT THE GREATEST MOVIE OVERALL, EVER. WITH SLEEK, FICTIONAL-DOCUMENTARY STYLE DIRECTION BY FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA TAKES YOU INSIDE THE WORLD OF NOT ONLY THE MAFIA, BUT ITALIANS AND IMMIGRANTS. IT IS THE POSTERBOARD FOR ALL MOVIE GREATNESS. EXCELLENT ACTING, SCREENPLAY, DIRECTION, AND UNFORGETTABLE SCENES. WHAT VIEWERS COULD FORGET THE "HORSE'S HEAD" OR SONNY'S DEATH AT THE "TOLL BOOTH." NOBODY CAN REFUSE THE OFFER OF WATCHING THE GODFATHER, EVEN FOR THE 100TH TIME. THE GODFATHER IS A CINEMATIC EPIC AND EVERY PERFORMER IN THE FILM WILL BE FOREVER REMEMBERED AS "SONNY", "FREDO", "LUCA BRASI", OR "KATE." THE GODFATHER STILL HAS A LARGE IMPACT ON POP CULTURE EVEN TODAY. NO OTHER FILM EVEN CAME CLOSE ........EXCEPT PART II. PLEASE E-MAIL FEEDBACK ON THIS DEATHSQUAD REVIEW TO [e-mail].

Summary: rocks
Review: This is my second favourite movie. My favourite is Gone WIth The Wind. I like the theme music very much. Al Pacino is sexy as and Marlon Brando is such a great actor. I didn't like Michael's wedding night scene with Apollonia-very uneccessary. Also, the whole thing's a bit sexist. I mean, come on, I'm sure there are SOME women in the Mafia for god sakes. And I didn't like the scene where Carlo hits Connie. She should have hit him harder. But I love this movie, it rocks. nd Robert Duvall is good too.

Summary: A True Masterpiece
Review: This movie will either be totally dull, or one of the best movies you will ever see. For me, it was number two! The great Mafia of the 40's is retold in this wonderful three and one half hour movie. Puzo's brilliant novel was made into a sheer masterpiece. Vito Corleone (Brando) was some of the best acting that I have ever, ever seen in my life. Also, the movie isn't just about crime and killing, but about the importance of family. A true, true classic.

Summary: Interesting...
Review: I actually think that part of the success of this movie was the fact that the idea was original, the idea of the underworld Mafia, or what have you. But really, the movie wasn't all that great. There was no real plot, it simply told of the deeds the Mafia undertook. But I gave it five stars simply because it has such classic appeal and the acting is so good. Brando and Pacino rock this world. Oh and I thought Michael's wedding thing with Apollonia was rather unecesssary. Otherwise, a great movie. And such a beautiful music theme!

Summary: Best Movie Ever
Review: After I saw The Godfather I relized what true acting and perfection was. Marlon Brando is pure genius and Al Pacino is outstanding. This movie sets the standered for not only gangster flicks but all pictures.

Summary: One of the best films ever made.
Review: Three hours that shoot by (no pun intended). This film is different every time you view it. One time it's about the Mob. Another time, it's about family loyalties and betrayals. Later, it's about the transformation of a man to a monster due to the circumstances around him. Then later, it's about the hypocrisy of religion. If you see this movie enough times, you'll even find yourself focusing on the food ("leave the gun, take the cannolis"; oranges; sauce; "best veal in the City"). But seriously, this film is never boring, every scene is important -- in fact, it could have used more scenes because there is not enough exposition of the relationship between Michael and his father -- we really don't get a one-on-one scene of dialogue between them until close to the end. "The Godfather" also has two of the greatest film sequences in film history: the Italian restaurant scene is so intense, it will make you chew your lip off; and the baptism of Connie's baby.

If you have not seen this movie, then you are wasting too much time reading this review . . . buy it or rent it or whatever, but you must see it ASAP!

Summary: .
Review: I saw this classic only recently, and although I doubt it lives up to all of the worship it receives, I wasn't exactly disappointed. Superbly acted, stylish, involving, generally well-made, and rather dark film. The thing that most struck me about the movie was the evolution of Pacino's character, which, although a bit inexplicable, is chilling and interesting. I very much look forward to seeing the 2nd and 3rd parts.

Summary: GODFATHER about more than just the "Mafia"
Review: The first time I saw THE GODFATHER was in 1974, at a theatre in my hometown. It knocked my socks off then, and it's still exciting to watch today. I would imagine I have seen this movie/video over 100 times. The cast is perfect,(Brando,Pacino,Caan,Duvall,Keaton,Shire,Cazale,Castellano,Vigoda)the sets are dynamic, and the cinematography makes you feel as though you are right there. THE GODFATHER is not only about a MAFIA family's transition over time, but it's also about love,loyalty,honor,tradition,and respect. The musical score is right on target as a mood setter for the story which unfolds before you. This movie is captivating and masterfully done. A MUST SEE!

Summary: A modern day classic!
Review: Marlon Brando (On the Waterfront), Al Pacino (Scent of A Woman), Robert Duvall (Apocolapse Now), James Caan (The Program), and Talia Shire (Rocky) star in this 1972 classic. The themes of family and busines are interwoven together masterfully. Marlon Brando plays the aging Godfather who must transfer power to one of his three sons. The ugly crime business the Corleone family is involved with take a seat behind the family traditions, loyaly, respect and storytelling of Mario Puzo. Winner of three Academy Awards including Best Actor-Marlon Brando, The Godfather is a beautifully told Ameriacn classic.
