watch this beacon of an epos in the landscape of normal "mafia-films"!

Rating: 8/10 (15 July 1999)

nearly a milestone as the first part of the-godfather-trilogy. The lack of OUTSTANDING Marlon Brando is too huge to get compensed by the (extraordinary) appearance of Pacino, Garcia et al. Want to see a breathtaking movie which impresses by the directors courage of "taking all the time the story needs" but do not want to see Godfather#1 again? then choose this masterpiece and spend yourself app 3h of real artwork!
