Disney's The Godfather

Rating: 6/10 (30 September 2005)

I rented this movie thinking it was going to be something like the godfather or Goodfellas. Really, it wasn't. I would say that if Disney ever does a gangster movie it will be just like this one. And It'll probably have Kevin Costner in it as well. He's just not a very convincing tough guy and you can add that to the fact that his dialog is dry and unwhitty. Both Mel Gibson AND Harrison Ford turned down the role of Elliot Ness before Costner was asked to play it. Now we know why; Gibson and Ford don't do lame roles with lame dialog and lame action. The few action scenes in the movie are totally drawn out and over played and the two dollar musical score is right there all along remind the audience how a particular scene is supposed to make us feel... but we're not feelin' it.
