The Godfather is one of the most compelling crime dramas ever made. At 177 minutes, the film never dragged, it always moved at a good pace. Al Pacino and Diane Keaton are phenomenal in their roles, and of course Marlon Brando is iconic.

It was about time I finally took an interest in this famous masterpiece of 1970s cinema. Before I saw it, I had heard a lot about it and I had read quite a lot about it. So I somehow managed to set aside 3 hours of free time in order to focusIt was about time I finally took an interest in this famous masterpiece of 1970s cinema. Before I saw it, I had heard a lot about it and I had read quite a lot about it. So I somehow managed to set aside 3 hours of free time in order to focus my attention completely on this feature film.

The colors, sequencing and the lighting are beautiful throughout the film. The immersion in the heart of a powerful Italian-American family is complete, especially thanks to the scenes of festivals and traditions directly imported from Southern Europe. The main characters are endearing. The script, although we know from the first thirty minutes the tone and subject matter that the film will have, is quite unpredictable in its own way. We can feel the drama that hovers over the Corleone family and its survival all the time. There is no doubt that the movie and its genesis are entirely rooted in a factual observation and study of events related to the Mafia.

The violence is totally rich in meaning. It is not used and shown as one would expect when watching a film about the mafia. It is cleverly diffracted in accordance with the characters, their individual personalities and purposes. It is only excessive when events require it to be so.

Unfortunately, however, I have recognized some important and numerous flaws in the film, starting with its length. As I said, the atmosphere is heavy throughout the entire length, one is constantly preparing in vain for the unpredictable, but nothing covers the general rhythm of the plot, which does not hesitate to let long uninteresting scenes of everyday life run their course.

The acting is interesting, especially in the case of Al Pacino. I found Marlon Brando (in the role of Vito Corleone) rather flat, almost inexpressive from beginning to end except for a few intense scenes. I find that one of the major flaws of the film is to be found in Marlon Brando's (in my opinion) completely failed facial makeup. Until the end I couldn't accept his two cheeks with their strange shapes and preventing him from articulating properly. All he does is mumbling again and again. I think this is an excellent example of a makeup that takes precedence over the actor's abilities, and that's a shame, especially for a movie with such a critical acclaim.

With the information I had before I saw the film, I did not expect that the woman as a whole would play an important role in the story. Nevertheless, I was excessively disappointed by the feminine images that the film returns to us. They are only there to brighten men's days, complaining, whining, cooking, educating kids, breaking dishes and crying (I am not making this up, all those descriptions directly come from different scenes of the movie). I made every effort to try to capture the slightest clue in the film that any lady is smart, but there was nothing I could do about it. Stupid traditional patriarchal society at its best.

The script allows us to take a deep interest in various characters evolving in parallel. I thought it was a brilliant idea, but eventually you get lost very quickly in the first names, nicknames and surnames of the hundreds of protagonists present at the casting. All of this gives a nasty impression of superfluity and superficiality to the story that we try to tell us for three hours.

Except for these most intense moments, the film is excessively poor in terms of emotions. Everything seems to happen as if everything had been planned down to the most outrageous dramas. The film seems to be much more interested in the machinations of the mafia than in the real human adventures that crime engenders. From this point of view, the mafia seems like a simple banal organization, except that it takes place in the most total illegality, giving a different meaning to each individual's life. It would have been much more interesting to have given more detail to the characters and especially their relationship to each other and to the authority of the godfather. Here everything seems to take place in an ocean of convenience that takes away all its intensity from the film.

I did my best to take into consideration the time of release of this film to try to analyze it with arguments as close to objectivity as possible. I can totally understand that at the time this film received so many positive reviews. Unfortunately, watching it in 2020 only underlines the fact that other more recent films manage to give a content similar in depth to 'The Godfather' but sparing us all the negative hazards that I have just explained above.

The dull and dumb character of Godmother and less focus on Fredo's activities is also an unbalancing act of director.Focus on family,underworld,morality and character makes it a masterpiece but with due respect,it's not a 9 rating movie in my opinion...8.7 Expand

Como "O poderoso chefão" é considerado um clássico, não tive como conter as expectativas de que seria um ótimo filme. Poucas vezes na minha vida eu me desapontei tanto com um filme.

Não consigo entender como um filme longo de quase 3 horas de duração não consegue desenvolver seus personagens.

A história se resume em abordar a relação dos negócios das máfias, já a relação dos personagens com seus familiares e amigos não é aprofundada, fica algo raso, frio e muito mal feito. Sinto como se todos irmãos da família Corleone tivessem a mesma personalidade, já que não houve desenvolvimento.

Minha nota não foi mais baixa por causa da filmagem que foi uma revolução para a época, a trilha sonora é boa e a atuação é boa, mas comprometida pelo não desenvolvimento dos personagens.

3.5/10

This is the greatest movie of all-time and I will explain you why no other movie compares.

First of all, I think that we need to separate greatest movie of all-time and best movie of all-time. Many movies can be considered the best movie of all-time, but only The Godfather can be considered the greatest movie of all-time. The direction was almost perfect, the story is almost perfect, the character development is almost perfect, the cast is almost perfect, the use of lightning is almost perfect, but that's a movie that's almost 50 years old. When this came out, there is technical aspects that were never been done before. Some would argue that Citizen Kane is the greatest movie of all-time for the same reason, but I think that while Citizen Kane is also an awesome movie on the technical level, it is also a movie with a story that not many people could relate to and appreciate like The Godfather. Everyone that's reading this review should go and watch gangster movies from the 50s-60s. All I'm gonna say is that they were not very good. The Godfather completely changed the gangster film and influenced many great movies like Pulp Fiction, Goodfellas, Scarface, Reservoir Dogs, Casino, The Departed and even to this day movies like The Irishman take influence directly from Francis Ford Coppola's masterpiece. That's what makes it the greatest movie of all-time for me.

Thanks for reading my review of The Godfather.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "The Godfather" really shows the audience what a tragedy is, and the powerful expression of the tragedy itself. Other tragedy stories seem to be self-confident under this reflection. Even though this story about inheritance is covered in a crime film, the spirit conveyed in it applies everywhere; the old godfather played by Marlon Brando is certainly the biggest cast in the movie, but the core of the story is Suspected on Mike played by Al Pacino, looking at the three parts, they are all about the growth story of Mike as the core; the lie at the end of Mike seems to confirm that the lie is the power to sustain everything, the cornerstone to sustain everything .

The acting by all characters is superb. The plot is convoluted and twisting enough to keep you interested, but not until the point that it becomes too hard to follow. The cinematography and visual effects are equally impressive. While much of this movie is grounded in reality and thus the visual effects are usually pretty standard, there are a couple of shots that are absolutely amazing for the time.

Brando and Pacino's performances of this movie steal the show and both help make this film the masterpiece that it is. In addition, the screenplay is one of the best I have ever seen. Oftentimes, in these crime/mafia films, they tend to run on for too long and the viewer becomes bored. Despite being a three hour movie, not only was I glued to the edge of my seat each time, but each scene felt integral to the story and themes that the film is trying to tell. Further, it feels as if every single *action* taken by a character has an impact on either a theme or the outcome of the movie. This level of screenplay has not been matched by another film that I have seen.

In addition the cinematography of this film has resulted in several of the most iconic scenes in all of cinema being brought to the big screen. The number of quotes, iconic scenes, jokes, and memes that came from this film is absolutely amazing.

Whether it is the greatest movie of all time or not, The Godfather is a must see film that has had one of the greatest impacts on modern society and popular culture out of all the films that have ever been made. This is a must see for anyone who enjoys cinema.

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.

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 watched this movie in 2019 and had really high expectations as it's considered by many THE greatest movie of all time. Maybe that's why I didn't enjoy it as much as most people

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

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.

Alike many during the 70's, he went through a lot pioneering his craft. His family oriented warmth bursts on screen like fine wine that gets better with age. He captures the essence of classical beauty. A pulverizing, romanticized and epic sensation to endure The Godfather. Like a smooth cappuccino, it brews the perfect blend. Most noteworthy, I gleam at the artwork that is the Apollonia storyline. Expand

There are almost no story peaks that are exciting, suspensful, emotional or whatever. When people die for example, they get killed suddenly out of nowhere, so even before these moments the movie builds up no suspense. Many scenes are far too long and forgettable, like both the weddings and many more. Even the horsehead had no relevance for anything. The acting is solid but never reaches any remarkable levels. Not one of the characters is truly likeable, what makes it difficult to feel for them. In the end i am also a bit disappointed of the camera work: too many wideshots, too less facial close ups and missing overall aesthetics in look and scenery. I feel bad for rating a classic movie like this so low, but i cant see the brilliancy of The Godfather. Expand

Bom, Quando eu ouvi falar neste filme, eu pensei "E mais um filme de Gangster". e também lembro de fazer aquela cara de arrependido quando vi a cena inicial. eu considero este o melhor filme de todos os tempos. não só pena sua magnifica historia, como também, a ousadia do Francis Ford Coppola para fazer o filme de sua maneira. e um filme que nos ensina muita coisa. principalmente, a valorização da família e a lealdade.

Francis Ford Coppola has done the best he can with such meagre resources. Consider The Godfather (and the Godfather Part II) as Coppola working through his directorial immaturity, on his way to producing his masterwork: The Godfather Part III.

Bar none, this one sets the tone for all others. Sure, there have been gangster movies before, but they are pretty formulaic (okay, I'll give you James Cagney in Public Enemy and bonus points for Tony Soprano eating ice cream while watching it), but this brought humanity and depth to the genre in a way not many others have since. My only contention is that the sequel surpasses the original and should be above it on this list. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Francis Ford Coppola is one of the greatest directors of all time and to say that this film is his masterpiece is no small thing, dark and calculated, whether in the excellent script of Coppola and Puzo or in the inspired direction or in a scene of a wedding in which "nothing" goes wrong or in the death of a character so brutally and yet balances moments like these, even if distant so perfectly is sensational. The godfather is one of the best directed, written and acted films in history. Expand

Initially, I didn't like this film all that much - I found it rather over-hyped and boring. This was until the advent of DVD, which gave me the feature I needed for this sort of film: subtitles. Once I switched them on and heard (read) every last word of Brando's ramblings and other characters ramblings, I grew a true appreciation for this epic.

إنها التحفة السينمائية الخالدة
باعتقادي أن روعة هذا الفيلم وبقسمه الأول بالذات تتجسد ليس بالقصة فقط، بل بالأداء العبقري وبالأخص لدى الدون كاروليوني (مارلون براندو) تلك الشخصية الجذرية والبرغماتية في حماية مصالحها وبذات الوقت أخلاقيتها العملية

الفيلم بأكمله يقوم عى هذا الحامل القيمي وهو من أمتع الطروحات الفكرية والأدائية في تاريخ السينما
