the godfather was a big letdown.

after hearing so much praise about the godfather and people saying its one of the best movies ever i went and watched it for the first time. i think the godfather might be the most overrated movie ever. im not saying it was a bad movie it just was not what i had expected it to be. people told me it was the best movie they have ever seen or thats its one of the greatest movies ever made but i seriously do not see how they could have came to that conclusion. it takes like 20 minutes to just get into the movie. the first 30 minutes were just boring. there were only like 4-5 action scenes throughout the whole movie. not only that there were a huge number of things that did not make sense. how could a guy not wake up when the dead body of a horse is put in your bed? i never really got why the son went to italy. i mean i know he had to go somewhere because he killed those guys but why out of the country? the scenes where there in italy and there doing the weird family date thing was pretty boring. why did the one guy put a bomb on the car that killed the italian wife in the first place? how come it took like 1000 shots to kill the eldest son in the ambush scene. better yet how did they know he was gonna be there? why is there like a 1 year time gap from the time after vito has that meeting with all the mafia leaders and when the son goes and talks to kate? then why does she keep refusing the son but when the car shows up she gets inside? and why is there a 4 year gap between that scene and when the son goes to talk to vito then vito dies playing with this grandson? why does the husband of the sister get killed in the end?

Eh, I though The Godfather Part II was a letdown.

I actually loved the first one.

how could a guy not wake up when the dead body of a horse is put in your bed?

i never really got why the son went to italy. i mean i know he had to go somewhere because he killed those guys but why out of the country?

the scenes where there in italy and there doing the weird family date thing was pretty boring. why did the one guy put a bomb on the car that killed the italian wife in the first place?

how come it took like 1000 shots to kill the eldest son in the ambush scene. better yet how did they know he was gonna be there?

why does the husband of the sister get killed in the end?

The Godfather is an excellent film, although Part II is my favourite. I think you weren't really paying attention because most of your questions are answered directly in the film.

All of those are explained in the film, I think you ought to watch it again. I missed some of the plot when I watched it for the first time too.

Everyquestion you just asked was answered in the film.

Really? I don't think you payed attention to the film at all. Transformers 2 is something that is up your alley, go watch that.

i really think i might see this movie aftering hearing about it so much but is reall that confusing to watch?iTzFuriousNinja

It requires attentitive viewing.

all of those questions were explained in the movie. its not a 3 act film, so there was a lot that happened but thats not to say it was displayed in a confusing manner. id say that the godfather part 1 was pretty straight forward. it goes over the inner workings of the mafia and its construction as a fmaily unit (which was new at the time). i cant say the "action" disappointed either. the buildups were tense and felt real. when they finally peaked, there were flourishes of striking cinematography (something not really present in part 2). and thats not to mention the iconic performance by brando and score.

It sounds like you didn't pay attention to the film. Everything you asked about is explained at some point.

And if you didn't like the Godfather, I really have to question your taste in film.

The Godfather Part I - 10/10

One of my top 20 movies.
