Rating: Null/10 (18 March 2013)

While I feel the movie wasn't bad, I also feel like the movie has been given much more praise than it should have gotten.
Well, perhaps this movie was glorious in the 1970s, I am rating it from 2013, and feel like if this movie was released now, it wouldn't have gotten as much attention. For 2013, this movie was mediocre to me.
While the acting from Al Pacino was great, I feel Marlon Brando's acting was a bit too much with his soft slurred voicing of Vito Corleone. It came off a bit weird to me. If anyone spoke like that in real life to you, you would probably think something is wrong with that person.
The first half of the movie was incredibly slow and boring to me.
The restaurant scene was definitely good and leaving the Italian dialogue untranslated added a nice touch. The rest of the movie was just decent to me. The ending felt a bit too easy - to me it seemed like it was all done so easy, making it feel like it could have been done better.
Overall, I think this movie was good, but not great.
