Just finished episode 1. Don’t get me wrong, it’s good. I enjoyed the first episode. But this isn’t even in the stratosphere of The Godfather. I think I need to go watch it again for the 30th time.

I think 2 is the best movie ever, but 1 is right up there.

I can't decide if I should even attempt part 2. Maybe I'll give it a shot

boorad

You should. I don’t really care for 3, but you should probably watch it to close

I'd suggest Keeping up with the Kardashians for a man of your tastes

But all that stuff is still good. Old buildings are still good. oldMusic is still good. Books are still good. Old ideas

I know this is the case. That's why it's hard to appreciate older movies

Same reason we still talk about past NBA greats.

You critique the acting in the Godfather then laud the Departed

Nicholson in The Departed was awesome. Brando was barely in The Godfather

Character development was terrible? The Godfather? I don't think you understand

It felt very rushed. Michael goes from wanting no part of the family business to

Don't conflate being involved with the family business - literally the gambling

Did you miss the whole sequence at the hospital? There were multiple scenes

I know what the scene is about. Again, the realism of the violence is beside the

It’s not beside the point though. If the mobsters were shooting each other with

The Offer is fantastic. But the Godfather is iconic.

The fight scene was terribly orchestrated. The rest of your post is all-time bad

I'm still laughing at you're "all old movies suck" line.

May 2, 12:56pm

So you wanted the Godfather to be breaking bad.

I think it's an excellent film and very well made. I think there is a reason why it's been studied and lauded.

The Offer is great. The Godfather is great. Watching The Offer makes the movie
