Perfect

This movie is strong, good script, great casting, excellent acting, and over the top directing. It is hard to fine a movie done this well, it is 29 years old and has aged well. Even if the viewer does not like mafia type of movies, he or she will watch the entire film, the audiences is glued to what will happen next as the film progresses. Its about, family, loyalty, greed, relationships, and real life. This is a great mix, and the artistic style make the film memorable.

One of the best movies ever made

This movie is epic, the score, the actors, the plot, there is nothing else like it. A must see and buy.

One of the greatest films of all time. If you haven't seen it, see it!

There are very very few films in this world that are of such high quality in so many categories as this one. The cast is fantastic, the acting is great, the story draws you right in, cinematography and directing are top notch. And let's not forget the music, which stays with you long after the film is over. Truly a masterpiece, The Godfather is also a solid piece of entertainment. It will grip you from start to finish. It touches on so many themes in such a deep way, you're left with a million threads to explore. I've seen this film many many times and am always up to see it again. There's always some new nuance I notice, some little detail that slipped by or I didn't fully appreciate the first time. Scene after memorable scene flows by, leaving you in a perpetual state of amazement. Get this film and you will see the heights the filmic medium can reach.

Worth the hype

A great film that I'm glad I finally got around to seeing after years of saying I would!

There is the wonderfully menacing presence of Brando, the complex character of Michael, played by Pacino and the epic ups and downs of the family, played out under the inspired direction of Ford Coppola.

One of the strongest parts of the film is the gradual and irreversable change in Pacino's character; from the respected war veteran at the beginning to a less subtle version of his violent, all powerful father by the end.

2 scenes stuck out for me in showing this beautfully. Firstly a scene in which he is trying to muster up the conviction to shoot the person who has made an attempt on his father's life, the suspense echoed by the sound of an impending train. Secondly, near the end, the scene jumps between the christening of his own godson (and his own baptism) and the planned killing of all his foes by his design - showing the true extremes of his character and the depths of cold-hearted evil he has now reached.

Great film, worth much of it's hype
