forgive me.

Rating: Null/10 (16 March 2004)

This is the number 1 movie of all time-according to IMDB. This is a film that is as close to being perfect as a film can be-according to many. So-I am going to admit it straight out here-I have NEVER-I repeat-NEVER been able to get into the godfather-I feel almost guilty saying it-but it is the truth-This is considered to be the best of the best. But I didn't feel any of the fascination that many others did.
I have tried(unsuccessfully) to watch this from start to finish and it never works-ever. I always turn it off. I want to like this because of how amazing it is supposed to be. I have family members that watch it over and over and over again. But not I. I just-it just did not compute. Ever.
I suppose there are those films considered masterpieces that for some reason or other one just can't like. That is how this is for me. I could not appreciate the dialogue, very slow pace, I never got into the character studies, to much violence and I would always get an odd restless feeling. But I guess everyone has a movie or two like that where they just don't get it. This is mine.
I really really wanted to like this film. If I ever do, I'll come back on and post an apology.
