Hold Your Friends Close and Your Enemies Closer: The Godfather

by George_Chabot George_Chabot is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Jul 30 '01
Pros: Brando, Pacino, Caan, Supporting Cast, Screenplay, Photography, Score
Cons: None
Family and ritual are very important to the Corleones. Staunchly Catholic, they believe in church weddings, baptisms, and funerals. Every important milestone in life is celebrated with religious rites – baptism, first communion, wedding, and...

GODFATHER: The Best of the Best!

by cripper Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, May 04 '03
Pros: Everything!
Cons: You would have to be very, VERY critical to find fault in this film
BEWARE! This is a very long review of the film, The Godfather.

In order for a film to be good, it has to have a strong, emotion-involving lasting impact on us. Whether this is Terry Malloy's attempts to bring down the gang...

The Godfather: "...and then, believe me, they would fear you."

by mkp51 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, May 22 '01
Pros: Brilliant acting; superb adaptation of Mario Puzo's novel
Cons: None.
It seems that American moviegoers traditionally have had almost as much of a fascination with films about the criminal underbelly of society as they’ve had with movies about our military heroes. Before The Godfather, there was a long and...

The GODFATHER, "Where's Michael. We're Not Taking the Picture Without Michael"

by popsrocks Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Oct 26 '04
Pros: I believe that this is one of the top films of all time.
Cons: A third film was made as a followup.
"Where's Michael. We're Not Taking the Picture Without Michael" These words are the first said in this film by Godfather Don Corleone when in dialog with his family at his daughters wedding. I believe, in hindsight, after seeing the film that these ...

A Man is Not a Man If He Doesn't Spend Time with his Family

by thevoid99 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Jul 03 '04
Pros: Coppola's Direction, Script, Look, Score, & Cast led by the Great Marlon Brando.
Cons: None.
Writer's Note: A few months ago, I had a review written and completed for Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 masterpiece The Godfather. When there was a chance to release it, it disappeared due to a malfunction with my floppy disk. After that, I swore ...

Italian American Beauty

by Goatius Goatius is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, , Mar 28 '00
Pros: One of the all-time greats, acting, direction, script all first rate
Cons: Can't think of a one, maybe too violent for some tastes
If not the greatest film ever then mighty close, Coppola's gangster saga has gone down as a landmark in cinema, both for its popularity and critical praise. It is a near perfect film, with flawless acting and a beautiful, haunting score that is one...

The Godfather (1972): A Great Piece of Film Making Art I Find Painful To Watch

by Ed.Williamson Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Apr 20 '07
Pros: This story is great entertainment.
Cons: This story turns good into the questionable.
The movie The Godfather (1972) has been practically deified as one of the best, movies of all time. It is on many top-ten best-movies-of-all-time lists. As art, it is undeniably a classic movie. As an influence on mass culture, however, it gives a ...

'We're Not Murderers'... you don't want to phone a friend, ask the audience perhaps?

by belle_uk , Oct 03 '04
Pros: Legend of a film, classic to the gangster genre
Cons: Not my cup of tea
I am not a natural fan of gangster films. But being faced with an exam essay on the genre can to funny things to people. The Godfather embodies traits from the classic age of gangster flicks, from the time of Public Enemy and Little Caesar. A time ...

One More Orange For The Pile: My Personal Take On The Godfather

by mfunk75 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Aug 22 '02
Pros: Everything after the line "I believe in America" (and everything before, too).
Cons: The Punch. More on this below...
Generally regarded as one of the finest movies ever made, "The Godfather" would seem to be review-proof. By this point, some 30 years after its initial release, what else could be said of it? Critically it's adored. And those who loathe it are bound...

One of the greatest movies ever made

by carl_lazarevic Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jul 25 '03
Pros: Acting, writing, cinematography and soundtrack.
Cons: It could be claimed that it romanticizes the lives of bad people.
Francis Ford Coppola's classic Gangster movie is a film that contains; what I consider to be, the greatest opening in cinematic history. It's not the kind of big action sequence that would open something like a Bond film, nor is it a traditional gangster ...

One Man Allows Circumstances To Change His Life With "The Godfather" (An Almost Perfect Film).

by wlswarts Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Sep 20 '09
Pros: Amazing acting, Moments of character, Great plot development, Decent soundtrack, Great DVD bonus features.
Cons: None of the characters are particularly likable.
According to the American Film Institute, "The Godfather" is the second-best film of all time, right behind "Citizen Kane" (reviewed at: http://www.epinions.com/conten t_45263195780 ). Neither film made it onto my own ...

The Godfather: a Brilliant Film about a Father's Legacy and a Son's Destiny

by estomnisbonus , Feb 02 '05
Pros: Excellent Cinematography, Astounding Use of Sound and Music, and Brilliant Characters
Cons: Can be hard to hear at times, and some subplots are not fully explained
The Godfather is truly the paradigm for the “gangster” genre. All mobster movies are inevitably compared to this 1972 epic, and most fail miserably in this regard. The Godfather’s influence can felt all over the mainstream media; the phrase ...

THE GODFATHER: The Saga of an American Family of Latecomers.

by macresarf1 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, May 26 '00
Pros: No American film since CITIZEN KANE has been more significant or fully realized.
Cons: Film suffers from some continuity problems due to uncertainty in the production's planning and execution.
The Corleones are an upwardly mobile family like the Winthrops of Massachusets and the Byrds of Virginia. John Winthrop founded Boston; John the Younger expanded into Connecticut. They followed their religion and slaughtered the Indians. William Byrd ...

A Movie You Can't Refuse

by walkermuff , Mar 05 '05
Pros: Acting, Direction, Story, Feel, Look, Score
Cons: Some may complain about the length, can be hard to follow, requires repeated viewing
This movie ranked 3rd greatest film on AFI's list, landing between "Casablanca" and "Gone With the Wind" (I find it a better film than "Casablanca", but not quite as good as "Gone With the Wind"). An incredible cast, excellent directing, and an ...

The Perfect Movie

by nasty01 , Jun 01 '04
Pros: Acting, Screenplay, Music, Direction..... aw hell, everything!
Cons: Perfect movies do not know of this word
How do you measure perfection? If you can capture 10, count em’ 10 academy award nominations, I would call it impressive. If you can create a movie that is more influential than the best-selling novel that it was based off of, than I would call it good. ...
