Perfection!!!

Rating: 10/10 (21 June 2000)

This movie is well deserved of its glittering reputation. It simply blows its would-be contenders of the same genre (ie. Goodfellas, Casino etc.) out of the water. It is perfect in every way, from the flawless acting to the stunning cinematography. I think you would be hard pressed to find a Marlon Brando movie, an Al Pacino movie, a James Caan movie, a Robert Duval movie or a Diane Keaton movie where they turn out a better performance. And I think that the credit for all of this has to go to the films director, Francis Ford Coppola. And anyone who tries to tell you that this movie is anything less that the greatest single piece of cinema of all time simply does not know what they are talking about (although the Godfather part 2 comes extremely close...). So I plead with you, please, please, please go out and rent (or even better, BUY!) this film, even if you have read the book (although if you have done that I suspect you will have seen the movie too!) because I guarantee you will fall in love with it.
