More Let Downs

Rating: Null/10 (4 May 2013)

This movie was the biggest let down of my life. From all of the hype and clout that comes with any conversation that involves "The Godfather", I was expecting some real action, from beginning to end, but instead Coppola uses only a few powerful scenes of violence to break up all of the dialogue used to explain what is going on, and the extremely exaggerated editing that adds about an hour and a half of unneeded movie time, which really took me away from the storyline. Not only was this movie to slow, but the writing I think could have been better. From viewing this movie once, I did not get that it was a story about Michael Corleone, it seemed more like a movie composed of typical situations in which gangsters of organized crime historically endured. Nonetheless, this movie was photographed beautifully and that is one thing I can't take away from this disappointment of a movie.
