VERY GOOD.

THE GODFATHER is definitely among the greats, no-one can argue that Marlon Brando's performance is astonishing. The script is brilliant and even the cameos are played to perfection.
Although I wasn't as amazed as I expected to be on my first viewing I have come to love it. It is over detailed but the baptism scene is one of the greatest pieces of cinema of all time.
