Proof that we're spoiled by MTV...

Rating: Null/10 (10 November 2000)

... when so many people complain about an all-time classic like "The Godfather" being too long and slow. I'm a firm believer that a movie needs to be as long as the story allows; we don't need to make a SNL skit into a 90-minute movie, and we don't need to cut a novelized classic down to placate the dwindling attention span of the audience. What scenes would you cut, honestly? What is not needed in this movie? Would you shorten the long shot of Michael as he admits that the Turk needs to be killed? Maybe cut out the Don's death scene, as it obviously slows down the movie? Honestly, I don't understand it...
