Great Movie

Rating: 9/10 (7 July 2002)

I actually sat down today and watched The Godfather. I had held off from watching it until now, afraid that it wouldn't live up to it's 'greatest movie ever' title that almost everyone seems to place on it. Fortunately, I can say that I wasn't disappointed. While after one viewing I'm not sure if I would personally call it the greatest movie I've ever seen, I can understand why people would say that. It's a great movie all the way around.....the cast, the dialogue, the sound track is all top-notch. Everyone involved gave great performances from top to bottom. Watching how Al Pacino's character changes through the movie is amazing.
I noticed a few people made comments saying how long the movie was. To be honest I was so into the movie that it seemed to go by pretty quickly. Someone also said that you'll find better made-for-tv movies than this. Believe, I highly doubt that you ever will.
All in all, I can say that this is one movie that definitely lives up to the hype that is surrounding it. I would highly recommend that everyone go out and watch this movie at least once. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
