Too much hype!!!

Rating: 9/10 (31 December 2004)

The sequel of this movie is the American masterpiece, not this one
And it's so obvious if you watch the sequel and see how much has gone into it and the fact that it still stands up better than the original.
Robert De Niro is a much better actor than Brando and proves it in this film. Al Pacino is at the top of his game also in this film, so this all adds up to this being the Godfather of American film making.
No competition, Godfather II is the best, the 'Elephant Man' being a close second and 'The Butcher Boy' finishing off my selection.
Who else loves 'Elephant Man'?
Roll on 'War of the Worlds', big up Spielberg.
