Spectacular! For the older crowd

Rating: 9/10 (21 May 2004)

`The Godfather' is a spectacular movie, for the older crowd. Between a quotable script, great theme music, and a fabulous main character, this film will keep the viewer wondering.
While watching `The Godfather', the viewer may recognize many lines. Some of examples of those could be, ` I'll give em an offer he can't refuse,' or `Take it to the mattresses.' Simply the fact that lines from the movie are well known, proves that this movie is worthy of watching.
Throughout the movie, the same music is played over and over, but in different styles. For example, if someone is about to get shot, the music speeds up, and almost gets scary. When a happy time comes, the music gets softer, and more legato.
Finally, one of the best things about this movie is the main character. Al Pacino plays Michael, the child of the original Godfather. After his father gets shot in a mob hit, Michael, takes over the family business, and completely changes who from the person he used to be. Al Pacino is very believable in this role.
Overall, this reviewer gives this movie a 9 out of 10. It is definitely a movie worth seeing, but leave the kids at their friends, there is more gore than many would like.
