Rewatched this for the first time in about 12 years. The last time I saw it I don't think I was ready to appreciate it's brilliance, as it was a tad slow for me back then. Glad I did.
There's no real point reviewing it, basically most people know what's it's about and know it's universally regarded as one of the best movies of all-time. Here's some reasons why.
-Brando as Don Corleone. Brilliant
-Pacino as Michael. Brilliant.
-The directing of Coppola. Brilliant. Beautifully shot movie with some landmark scenes, most notably Sonny's death and the restaurant scene.
-Excellent story
The movie holds up very well, albeit it's a bit slow at times. Here's 3 scenes that could have been improved.
-Michael moving his father in the hospital. Should have been some guys inside who Michael had to fight off.
-When Sonny beats up Carlo. Really poorly done.
-The restaurant scene. Didn't use the suspense enough, could have drawn out some more.
A brilliant movie, must-see for major movie factors.
