Very Average Film. Very Overrated

Rating: 7/10 (23 September 2013)

Marlon Brando's acting as the Godfather is sublime and this film is worth watching for that.
However I did find the film very long-winded and at times boring. I liked the slow progression of the storyline and understand why Francis Ford Coppola did the film in the way he did. It's just that I felt the film was lacking something. It could have done with a bit more excitement or suspense to make the film more gripping.
Lets just say I watched this film about a year ago and I still haven't seen The Godfather 2, and I am in no hurry to either.
7/10. Average film. Worth watching to say that you have seen it.
