i am just going to say it: the Godfather is overrated.Max and his lovely lady hosted a movie night over the weekend that consisted of lasagna and the Godfather. i was impressed with Max's culinary skills (the lasagna was delicious) but i can't say the same about the movie.
first off, the movie was nearly three hours long. i should never be looking at my watch/cell phone clock while watching one of the so-called best movies of all time and i was reaching for my phone before Luca Brasi went swimming with the fishes.
second off, there is way too much going on. honestly, the conference realignment stuff that has haunted my soul for the past year has been less confusing. during the final assassination scene, i had no idea who any of the dead people were nor did i have any idea why they were being killed.
thirdly, nobody's family is that cool. i have a family. my family is lame. all families are lame. i would love to have a family as cool as the Godfather's. but it's not realistic. because nobody is that cool.
fourthly, there was no Denzel. so four strike and you're out.
this movie gets a $2 rating on my scale. and yes, that is the same rating that i gave Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins.
Britney Spears, play us out.
