When it comes to The Godfather, there is no matching it. No mafioso gangster film will ever be able to surpass it. It's devastating action and complex family moments are intricately designed. A classic and an unparalleled ensemble.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have had this movie for many months but i never got time to watch it.
Yesterday i did and i think ,like everybody say ,it is one of the best movies made ever.
Al Pacino who was not very popular at that time make his breakthrough performance and he is just great in the role of Michael Corleone.
About the legend Marlon Brando,he is just phenomenal,his facial expressions and husky voice just make his role one of the best characters.
It is based on Mario Puzo's novel about five fictional mafia families and Must say he did a great job on screenplay too.
There are some great as well as shocking scenes in this movie i.e.
When Woltz wake up and finds a real severed head of a horse.
Sonny beats up his brother-in-law Carlo.
Prolonged fight between Connie and Carlo.
Death of Apollonia Vitelli-Corleone.
Death scene of Sonny ambushed by gang members at toll.
The killings of all the other heads of Mafia families,Moe Green,Tesiso and Carlo.
I loved the setting and style.
James Caan,Richard S. Castellano,Robert Duvall,Diane Keaton & Talia Shire did great jobs too.
Despite the many Anachronisms,this movie is just marvellous.
I have read everything that Coppola dis to make this movie so outstanding.
Maybe the best gangster movie ever made.
Thanks Paramount,Francis Ford Coppola and every Cast-crew member related for producing this chef-d'oeuvre.… Expand

How somebody could not give this a 10/10 is beyond me. This is easily one of the best movies I have ever seen. Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, and everybody else were fantastic in their roles and Francis Ford Coppola outdid himself here.

The best Mafia movie of all time. Perfect actors (Al Pacino), top story with many details about the mafia life. It is not that much focused on action and it is rather slow, but they focused more on the way of life.

Rarely can it be said that a film has defined a genre, but never is that more true than in the case of The Godfather. Since the release of the 1972 epic (which garnered ten Academy Award nominations and was named Best Picture), all "gangsterRarely can it be said that a film has defined a genre, but never is that more true than in the case of The Godfather. Since the release of the 1972 epic (which garnered ten Academy Award nominations and was named Best Picture), all "gangster movies" have been judged by the standards of this one (unfair as the comparison may be). If a film is about Jewish mobsters, it's a "Jewish Godfather"; if it's about the Chinese underworld, it's an "Oriental Godfather"; if it takes place in contemporary times, it's a "modern day Godfather."

If The Godfather was only about gun-toting Mafia types, it would never have garnered as many accolades. The characteristic that sets this film apart from so many of its predecessors and successors is its ability to weave the often-disparate layers of story into a cohesive whole. Any of the individual issues explored by The Godfather are strong enough to form the foundation of a movie. Here, however, bolstered by so many complimentary themes, each is given added resonance. The picture is a series of mini-climaxes, all building to the devastating, definitive conclusion.

Rarely does a film tell as many diverse-yet-interconnected stories. Strong performances, solid directing, and a tightly-plotted script all contribute to The Godfather's success. This motion picture was not slapped together to satiate the appetite of the masses; it was carefully and painstakingly crafted. Every major character - and more than a few minor ones - is molded into a distinct, complex individual. Stereotypes did not influence Coppola's film, although certain ones were formed as a result of it.

The film opens in the study of Don Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando), the Godfather, who is holding court. It is the wedding of his daughter Connie (Talia Shire), and no Sicilian can refuse a request on that day. So the supplicants come, each wanting something different - revenge, a husband for their daughter, a part in a movie.

The Corleone with the most screen time is Michael (it's therefore odd that Al Pacino received a Best Supporting Actor nomination), and his tale, because of its scope and breadth, is marginally dominant. His transformation from "innocent" bystander to central manipulator is the stuff of a Shakespearean tragedy. By the end, this man who claimed to be different from the rest of his family has become more ruthless than Don Vito ever was.

Despite the likes of Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, Scarface, ...And Justice for All, and Scent of a Woman on his resume, Pacino is best remembered for the role he created in The Godfather (and subsequently reprised in two sequels). While this is not his most demonstrative performance - indeed, he is exceptionally restrained - the quality of the script makes Michael Corleone notable.

The Godfather had three Best Supporting Actor nominees, all well-deserved. The first was Pacino (who probably should have been nominated alongside Brando in the Best Actor category). The other two were James Caan and Robert Duvall. In a way, it's surprising that Duvall wasn't passed over. His presence in The Godfather isn't flashy or attention-arresting. Like his character of Tom Hagen, he is steady, reliable, and stays in the background. Not so for Caan's Sonny, whose demonstrative and volatile personality can't be overlooked.

Family responsibility. A father's legacy. The need to earn respect. The corrupting influence of power. These are some of the ingredients combined in Francis Ford Coppola's cinematic blender. They are themes which have intrigued the greatest authors of every medium through the centuries.

Although the issues presented in The Godfather are universal in scope, the characters and setting are decidedly ethnic. Even to this day, there is an odd romanticism associated with New York's Italian crime families. The word "Mafia" conjures up images of the sinister and mysterious - scenes of the sort where Luca Brasi meets his fate. Francis Ford Coppola has tapped into this fascination and woven it as yet another element of the many that make his motion picture a compelling experience.

We come to The Godfather like Kay Adams - outsiders uncertain in our expectations - but it doesn't take long for us to be captivated by this intricate, violent world. The film can be viewed on many levels, with equal satisfaction awaiting those who just want a good story, and those who demand much more. The Godfather is long, yes - but it is one-hundred seventy minutes well-spent. When the closing credits roll, only a portion of the story has been told. Yet that last haunting image (Kay's shock of recognition), coupled with Nino Rota's mournful score, leaves a crater-like impression that The Godfather Part II only deepens.… Expand

There are soThere is very little that I can add to the reviews on here, that have explained what is so wonderful about The Godfather so well. I have seen many amazing movies, as well as some clunkers, but The Godfather was beyond amazing. There are so many images, details and scenes that I seriously cannot get out of my head since watching it for the first time just nine hours ago. The Godfather is so incredibly well-made and acted that it stands out among the rest of those other amazing films I've seen, so much so I couldn't think of a single flaw, and I am struggling to think of a good enough reason to why I didn't see this film before now.

True, The Godfather is a little slow-moving and the plot takes a while to unfold, but neither of these are flaws as such. The slow pacing added to the elegiac quality The Godfather has, and as for the plot what is special about this plot is that it is very unpredictable because you have next to no idea where it is next going to take you. Being 18, I was worried whether I was old enough to appreciate this film or even understand it, but luckily I understood it perfectly, and I can well and truly appreciate it for the masterpiece it is considered to be.

The Godfather for one thing looks stunning. I strongly disagree with the previous reviewer who said the cinematography was horrid, for me the cinematography was one of the best assets of the film. In some scenes you have cinematography and lighting that is quite dark and mysterious, and then in scenes such as the wedding it is evergreen, autumnal and very picturesque. It is not just the cinematography that makes The Godfather look stunning, the costumes are beautifully tailored, the houses are gorgeous and majestic to look at and even the cars were immaculate.

Then there is the score by Nina Rota. One word, outstanding! I have heard many wonderful scores in my lifetime, but after hearing this score few stick in the memory as much as the score for The Godfather. This score is both beautiful as seen with the main theme, and haunting in the way it sticks in your head after watching the film itself. Other outstanding assets are the masterly direction from Francis Ford Coppola, and the brilliantly written screenplay that is intelligent, thought-provoking and darkly humorous. As for the violence, some of it is shocking and intense especially in the climax which was enough to almost make your heart either beat twice as fast or stop, and I almost covered my eyes when the producer found the horse's head in his bed, but underneath that this family is somewhat loyal and honourable come to think of it.

The acting is absolutely fantastic, bringing to life characters that are rich and complex, perhaps unlikeable at first but as you get to know them you warm to them. And I have to say, The Godfather is one of those rarities where no actor gives a weak performance. In particular, Marlon Brando is brilliant as Don Vito, very heavily disguised yet stately. Every word of dialogue, every subtle hand gesture and every facial expression was brilliantly judged. Al Pacino's casting was admittedly risky, but he still did a truly wonderful job carrying the film, while James Caan is dignified and loyal, Diane Keaton beautiful and alluring and Robert Duvall nicely understated.

In conclusion, absolutely amazing, and I can see completely why it is considered one of the 10 greatest movies ever made, it is that good. In fact my 15-year old brother loved it so much, he wants to see it again. 10/10, though this film is too good for that rating. Bethany Cox… Expand

This movie is chock full of stellar performances, beautiful shots, and a compelling family saga. If it is too long (it is), a little slow in places (it is) and somewhat hard to follow in certain places (yep) we can forgive it, because they just don't make movies like this anymore. It isn't perfect, but it is a masterpiece. Do yourself a favor, and let yourself be carried along with the current of this slow-moving, but powerful, bit of culture.… Expand

El padrino es una de las mejores películas que he visto nunca. Absolutamente en todas las facetas, la primera hora del film es absolutamente sensacional.

En mi opinión, después del momento "naranjas" baja y durante el resto del largometraje no estuve alucinado como con ese principio, en cualquier caso, obra maestra.

En esta película de Coppola, somos testigos de una de las mejores interpretaciones de la historia del cine, Marlon Brando y su 'Don Vito Corleone' es absolutamente legendario, me atrevería a decir que engrisece a todos los demás. Entre ellos un maravilloso Al Pacino.

En conclusión, es una película que me ha costado ver, pero que es de obligado visionado, es una maravilla. Y sí he tenido la oportunidad de verla 35 después de su estreno en cine. Gracias a cine Palafox.

Puzo and Coppola make us feel sympathy for the Corleones - yes, they are gangsters and killers, but they only kill those who want to kill them. They refuse to get into heroin distribution, preferring to stick with the supposedly harmless businesses of gambling and prostitution, and this is what leads to a gang war. They are mindful of their place in society, and are respected in their community. Some great male acting here - Caan, Duvall, Brando, Sterling Hayden too as a crooked police captain. I supposed I didn't totally buy Michael's transformation from rejecting the family business to becoming its leader - it just seemed like he wanted something else.… Expand

With a cast that can be said the best ever, some of the most recognizable lines and tropes of cinema, iconic sets and scenes, a music score that makes you feel and relive the scenes as you are listening, and a conclusion that even without the sequels, feels like a full and total emotional and deep story, with characters so real that they almost leap out of the screen, Mr. Coppola is truly to be commended for creating such and incredible and fascinating ride. Recommending this movie is truly an offer that can't be refused. A must watch for any person that even considers a moviegoer. Extraordinary!!… Expand

Francis Ford Coppola shot 90 hours of footage, whittling it down in the editing room to 3 hours of run-time, turning what the studio expected to be a pulpy gangster flick into a soaring epic. Brando and Pacino and Caan and Duvall and Shire and Cazale and Keaton all get well-deserved credit for lending their talents to the film. But make no mistake--it's Coppola that makes this marionette puppet dance. His screenplay--written alongside Mario Puzo--is masterful. His camerawork throughout the movie is ingenious. And his editing of the film is legendary.

Sure, a lot of people consider 'The Godfather: Part II' to be on equal footing, but I'll go to my grave arguing that the original was the purer and more compelling picture between the two.… Expand

Le début du film m'a replongé illico dans ce qui paraît une satire du mafieux archétypal, le mafioso fondateur, le patriarche de sa tribu, en un mot : le parrain ! Drôle donc, hilarant, à se taper le cul par terre... puis les minutes s'égrènent, le personnage se précise et les heures passant (oui, presque trois plombes entières le bousin) la stature de Brando, imposante, s'impose d'elle-même : on ne rit plus, on se tait... et on admire. On respecte.

A posteriori Brando apparaît alors comme le seul acteur capable d'imposer un tel respect à son rôle et à le rendre en fin de compte aussi charismatique qu'humain. Bien entendu, le reste de la distribution... n'est pas en reste avec sa pléthore de jeunes stars (dont Pacino et Caan) et ses rôles secondaires solides comme l'indispensable Robert Duvall par exemple.

La mise en scène de Coppola s'impose également d'elle-même malgré sa tendance à s'étirer un peu trop : elle demeure tirée au cordeau, l'ensemble est cadré avec soin et monté avec intelligence.

Bien entendu, Le Parrain ne serait pas ce qu'il est (une histoire de famille et de fureur) sans la musique enquiquinante de Nino Rota, habituellement abonné aux fariboles de Fellini mais qui livre et module ici deux thèmes nostalgiques et mélancoliques à l'envi.

Le film a donc bien vieilli et ne vieillira plus et fait partie malgré ses tics, des "classiques".… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is a cool gangster movie. The story is very good and shows the development of Michael the son of the current boss of the Italian Mafia. He went from a teenager to a cold-hearted gangster boss.

But IMO the movie has some flaws, first, he is confusing as hell because there are lots of characters interacting with each other and you can't identify who is doing what and why. Probably watching for the 2nd time should be better. Also, I didn't like how easily they can kill any character, even the other boss, they appear to be killed like nothing in the end. It is a cool scene indeed, but it makes me question if they were a threat so big, since they were killed so easily.… Expand

Inadvertently drawn into a war with another family, the Corleone's will, throughout the film, showing their human side, as well as they will be able of the most cruel and vindictive acts.

Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, this film needs no introduction. It's the cinema adaptation of a novel by Mario Puzo, who collaborated in the writing of the script, which is one of the best scripts of twentieth century cinema. In addition to this director and this script, we should highlight the cast, full of stars (Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton and others) who gave us an "offer we cannot refuse": a masterpiece that anyone should watch at least once.

If there is a movie where there is no possible negative note, is this: the suspense is permanent, the Nino Rota's soundtrack is unforgettable and even the light contributes to the heavy and gloomy atmosphere that makes us wait for the moment we'll hear the next gun shots. Winner of three Oscars (Best Picture, Best Leading Actor and Best Adapted Screenplay), five Golden Globes (Best Film, Best Leading Actor: Drama, Best Screenplay, Best Original Score and Best Director) and a BAFTA (Best Soundtrack), this film received several other nominations and awards and is considered by many the best gangsters movie ever, and one of the best films of the twentieth century.

One of cinema's greatest achievements. Trimming the fat of the source novel while keeping the mature spirit, The Godfather is an essential watch for anyone who claims to love movies.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hands down the greatest movie I have ever seen in my life. Words can't even describe how much I love this movie. Don Corleone changed my life! This movie (and the others of course) taught me so many things I never knew about life. Nothing can ever beat this movie. The acting from Marlon Brando and Al Pacino was just world class; it was a match made in heaven. The other actors and actresses were absolutely brilliant as well. How Al Pacino didn't win an Oscar for best supporting actor is beyond me. This movie contains the best quotes/lines in film history and its all there in this 3 part masterpiece. It contains life lessons you won't get anywhere else. The first part was my favourite because of the introduction and development of the characters. It was confusing the first time I watched it but that's with every film that has a huge storyline like this and everyone goes through the same thing. I learn new things every time I watch this film and it was nothing shy of a masterpiece. No other film will be able to beat this mark my words. I still can't get over how AMAZING this film was. "A man who doesn't time with his family can never be a real man" WHO ELSE is going to tell you that in life?!? Nobody except Don Corleone. This movie made me more wise now (19 years old) than if I was 55 years old and didn't watch this movie. I thank my father for recommending me this movie because if it wasn't for him, I would still be an idiot.… Expand

This film is just perfect. The structure is consistent down to the smallest detail and you experience a grandiose 3 hours of mafia epic. The mood, atmosphere, music, acting performance, tension ... everything simply overlaps perfectly.

There's is no movies I ever give 10's or do I love as much as Scarface, except the Godfather movies (and additionally now Guy Ritchie's The Gentlemen). The Godfather's are written, directed, shot and acted perfectly. Absolutely flawless films.

I mostly have to give this 8/10 because I think The Godfather Part II is even better. It is a masterpiece; at times, a little slow, and perhaps a shorter run time would be justified (even two-and-a-half hours).

Simplesmente incrível. As atuações de Marlon Brando e Al Pacino foram perfeitas. Só que assista quando estiver bem disposto, pois o filme é bem lento.

Where do I start, the movie's got one of the greatest plots with a dazzling cast who give their best performances especially from Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) he gives the best performance from start to finish. Also, the movie gets more brutal and bloody during some important scenes and they work quite well. The cinematography for this movie is honestly amazing and the camera work is pretty decent and all. Finally, the movie's got a beautiful score which sounds and works amazingly in this bloody brutal movie. Overall, I honestly enjoyed this movie and I don't know why I didn't watch it sooner but overall, it was honestly outstandingly brilliant, worth the watch.… Expand
