Movies Do you like The Godfather Part 1 & 2

[AGGAMEMNON66]

Yes but like Goodfellas more than them.

Agreed. I’ll throw Casino in there too.


I like the GF films but I’m not one of those people that rates them as the greatest films of all time.


I’d even put a film like ‘Miller’s Crossing’ above them as well.

 

[LEWIS540]

I’d rather rewatch Godfather 3 than any other film that came out in the last 20 years.

Yeah, you've gone too far the other way, rightfully defending Part III.

It's not a disaster, it's decent enough, but suggesting it's more rewatchable than anything since 2004 is cray cray.

I'm glad the Godfather movies exist, but they can't be my favorites because the glorification of the actions of bad people bothers me on some level. It is redeeming that the lives of the mobsters seem miserable on the whole.

Godfather 3 was a solid 8/10 movie but sheeps will claim it sucks just because it’s below the first two parts (10/10 and 9.5/10).

Somehow the same people have no problem watching superhero movies or other crap that are 7/10 at best. The hypocrisy is real.

The problem with this quote is, that while 3 was a solid movie indeed, and could be 7 to 8/10

the first two parts are both 400 million/10

STOP BEIN A GODDAMNED SISSY

Honestly the third was terrible, the second one was insanely boring and you knew how vitos story played out. I won't go after the first one and get banned. Part 1 2/10, part 2 is 3/10, part 3 0)10
It's my personal opinion and I like most of copalas other work but they were not my taste

 

[stephen90]

I like 2 better than 1. Part 3 is just average.

 

[TXstriker]

1-2 are good enough for a watch from time to time and I’m probably the only one here that didn’t completely hate part III lol.

Great scene

 

[HHJ]

Yes but like Goodfellas more than them.

The thing about Goodfellas is it completley removes the beautiful romaticism that The Godfather has, and shows the grim reality of Mafia life.

 

[HHJ]

People dream about walkin the beautiful rooftops of little Italy to the strains of "The murder of Don Fannuci"

....but in reality its alot more like that paranoid cocaine drive, or being worried that your friends are gonna kill you cos you know too much, so ya gotta rat em to the feds.

 

[Jesus X]

I like part 2 more with all the sicily shenanigans.

 

[volodya]

No that sounds amazing

Thanks for the responding. It seems like a few knuckleheads didn't even read and replied to the original thread lol. MSO is playing Beethoven 9th all weekend, so I will get to see what is up with that orchestra. Sunday matinee hopefully LIT!

 

[RollSonnenRoll]

I think part 2 is more rewatchable, you have de niro dominating in Italy while Pacino dominates in Vegas. You also don't have to see Sonny fight

Opposite for me. While I love Part II, it doesn’t have the romance of the first one for me. I could watch part 1 all day just for the world and atmosphere. It’s just such a beautiful movie visually

 

[Kardashians]

There's 3 or 4 people on a discord channel I'm on that thinks it does, it's unreal lol

lol, the discord.

anyways, ive tried to watch the godfather 10 years ago, fell asleep both times.
but that was ten years ago. im gonna try watching it again here soon, will get back to you (after october tho, im in spooky mode rn).

 

[Thrawn33]

I prefer the first one to the second, but both are great

Opinions are opinions, but no one with half a brain can give The Godfather 2/10, even if it's not to your taste.

Does it glorify it?

Aren't you contradicting yourself there?

... That's your opinion.
I can't tell if this is irony bait or actual autism
They aren't good movies to me
The "action" scenes are laughably bad. Everyone is over acting or doing the"stare off into space" thing
I mean fuck you saw the Sonny beating his sisters husband and it looked comically bad excluding the kick that broke the dudes ribs
None of those scenes holds.
It's just a boring soap opera that goes all fast and furious at random times "it's about family" Derp derp now I'm going to kill my brother shit.

It's technically a Christmas movie

Goodfellas starts with the romanticization of the Mafia life. It looks awesome in the beginning. Then they slowly start peeling the layers away and you see it for what it truly is. That's why I love it.
