  • Hold Your Friends Close and Your Enemies Closer: The Godfather

    Jul 30 '01
    Pros: Brando, Pacino, Caan, Supporting Cast, Screenplay, Photography, Score
    Cons: None

    Summary: 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...

  • "Leave the gun. Take the canoli's." - Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather

    Jan 06 '12
    Pros: Story, directing, cast, a perfect movie
    Cons: None

    Summary: Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) is the head of New York’s most powerful Mafia family. Everything is just peachy keen in his life—he’s grooming his oldest son, Santino (James Caan) to take over the family business, his youngest son Michael ...

  • The Godfather of Mafia Movies. Thank You, Francis Ford Coppola!

    Apr 18 '11
    Pros: Excellent performances, screenplay is solid, direction, great watch    
    Cons: None

    Summary: There are a lot of great examples of classic American cinema, but one gem that comes to mind almost immediately is Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 classic, The Godfather, which changed the entire genre of gangster film and also the entire field as we ...

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

    Apr 20 '07
    Pros: This story is great entertainment.
    Cons: This story turns good into the questionable.

    Summary: 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 ...

  • "An Offer You Can't Refuse"

    Sep 17 '06
    Pros: Superb performances from everyone involved and a brilliant script spanning the full spectrum of emotions.
    Cons: It set an impossible challenge to continue the saga in as glorious a fashion.

    Summary: "I believe in America. America has made my fortune." With these words begins the greatest film in motion picture history and the stunning first act of a trilogy unrivalled for its unique take on organized crime in America even as its stalwart ...

  • A Movie You Can't Refuse

    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

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

    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

    Summary: 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, "Where's Michael. We're Not Taking the Picture Without Michael"

    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.

    Summary: "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 ...

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

    Oct 03 '04
    Pros: Legend of a film, classic to the gangster genre
    Cons: Not my cup of tea

    Summary: 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 ...

  • Brando does it better.

    Sep 15 '04
    Pros: Everything! All of it!
    Cons: Not ENTIRELY true to the book. But so what?

    Summary: Dude! When my dad made me watch this with him (my repayment for schlepping him to Rocky Horror, which I shall also review), I was absolutely determined to despise it. And I honestly thought that it was possible; it sounded like the ultimate Guy Movie. A ...

  • The Perfect Movie

    Jun 01 '04
    Pros: Acting, Screenplay, Music, Direction..... aw hell, everything!
    Cons: Perfect movies do not know of this word

    Summary: 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. ...

  • Can you imagine a movie with the perfect cast, fantastic plot, and extreme depth?

    Jan 22 '04
    Pros: Perfect cast. Superb acting. Great story.
    Cons: None

    Summary: The Godfather. Considered by most to be the greatest mob movie of all time, and considered by many to be the very best movie of all time. Ever since I saw The Godfather when I was 14, it has remained one of my favorite movies. Throughout this review, ...

  • A comparison of the Book and movie

    Nov 27 '03
    Pros: One of the few great book-to-movie translations ever.
    Cons: Both may be a little too graphic for some people.

    Summary: This is my comparison of the book and movie, I originally done this essay as for my English composition class, but I figured it would make a good addition to epinions. I did not know whether to put it into Books or movies, but I put it into movies, ...

  • One of the greatest movies ever made

    Jul 25 '03
    Pros: Acting, writing, cinematography and soundtrack.
    Cons: It could be claimed that it romanticizes the lives of bad people.

    Summary: 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 ...

  • GODFATHER: The Best of the Best!

    May 04 '03
    Pros: Everything!
    Cons: You would have to be very, VERY critical to find fault in this film

    Summary: 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...

  • Sleeping with the Fishes!

    Mar 31 '03
    Pros: Shows the inside of a mob working and the details
    Cons: Nothing which I can see

    Summary: Don't let the title of the review steer you wrong this movie is simply amazing. It stands the test of time as being one of the best mob movies ever. No matter what people think of the violence that's how it was. The mob really is cold blooded and this...
