Great But Overrated Movie!

Rating: 8/10 (2 March 2009)

I really liked "The Godfather" and the content of the movie. But, I think that this movie is overrated. Back in the 70's, this might have been the greatest movie ever. But in 2009, it's not.
This film talks about the rivalry between the 5 Italian mafia families living in New York City. The main focus is on the Corleone family. After the patriarch of the family got shot, the youngest son Michael joins the family business for vengeance.
The acting is definitely not overrated. Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, and James Caan all delivered marvelous performances that will be remembered forever.
The score by Nino Rota is probably one of the most famous and the one that is stuck inside your head for months.
One thing I have against this movie is that this movie is very long with boring scenes stretched in. This movie is nearly three hours long. I can accept that for the last LOTR movie because it's interesting and engaging.
Overall, this is a great film, not exactly a masterpiece. I rate this film 8/10.
