When I pressed play on disc I'm like "Go ahead, make my day." My reaction was very similar to yours.

One of the few films which are definitely better than the book. Coppola succeeded in teaching the basic element of filmmaking. Simplicity!

Francis Ford Coppola took a trashy novel and miraculously turned it into a cinematic masterpiece. It remains great, moving amazingly fleetly for a nearly three hours. It pretends the Corleones are nice gangsters who only kill those who deserve it and you never see the innocent victims of their business, but can't argue with its wonders. http://eddieonfilm.blogspot.com/2011/03/just-when-you-thought-you-were-out-i.html

It's the Godfather...what more needs to be said. Initially I was skeptical of this being the greatest movie ever, so I challenged it and said "Go ahead. Prove to me that you are what everyone says you are." By the end..."Holy.....Shit.....you are in fact the greatest." To those who say this is bad, I just laugh and say "Cool story, bro!"

What more can be stated that already hasn't been said. Coppola takes us inside the mafia with a legend that wasn't their first pick (Brando) and an unknown (Pacino) but turns it into a sympathetic and beautiful film that treats every character with care.

Saw it in XD last week. The Godfather along with Citizen Kane and Grand Illusion are the unofficial best films of all time.

The Godfather is an extravaganza, nigh flawless, a cinematic magnum opus, ubiquitously acclaimed for its brilliance and for being in a league of its own. The Godfather doesn't depict poetic justice but rather portrays the triumph of perspicacious potency over abject vulnerability. The full review is present at: http://apotpourriofvestiges.blogspot.com/2011/12/godfather-1972.html

Simply perfect. Masterfully crafted. Brilliantly acted and even more brilliantly photographed. Enough to put Coppola in the firmament of cinema history forever.

Nothing I could write would give justice to 'The Godfather'-- the best American film ever made. It's a level of perfection Scorsese, Spielberg, not even Kubrick could touch.

The highlight of Hollywood's Golden Age. The film is like a modern Greek Tragedy, and features several of the best performances in cinematic history. Nobody should spend their life not knowing the genius of this film.

Of all the characters that fascinate me, that I would identify with now (as opposed to the obvious roles of Brando, Pacino and Caan that I would have had I seen this in my early to mid teens) is Duvall's Tom Hagen.

No doubt one of the greats - but - I know its cliche to say due to its critical acclaim, but the Godfather series is pretty overrated.

No. It is a great movie. Its not as good as everyone makes it out to be. Many make it out to be the best movie of all time. Or in the top 3. Or the top 5. Or the top 10. I say its in the top 500 films. Not the best movie of all time. Its great, but not the best movie ever made.
