Aha! At last I've found one of those guys that loves the Godfather, two actually. What is so good about that movie?
Although I loved the soundtrack, digged the atmosphere and loved the christening scene with all the assassionations, it was dull ass movie aside from that. I had trouble getting through it. I've watched old slow movies before and I loved Pulp Fiction and Apocalypse Now for example. But this one is so boring, just nothing interesting happens. A ton of scenes are way too long and useless to the plot.
Sure the actors do a good job, but their characters are just bland. Sonny is angry, Fredo is weak, The Don is the Don, Hagen is loyal, Michael has moral issues with the mob life until he suddenly doesn't. There is no depth. Although the movie tries to characterize the Corleones as somewhat good, they are just a bunch of scumbags, I feel no sympathy at all for them.
The Godfather doesn't deserve anything higher than a 6.5 on a scale of 1 to 10. Yeah I said it, bring on the hate.
