Review of The Godfather (1972) by Jb B — 21 Jul 2014
Up until today, I haven't bothered to review "The Godfather". After all, everyone pretty much knows it's one of the greatest films ever made. It's #2 on IMDb's Top 100. It won the Best Picture Oscar. The Godfather is widely considered the greatest movie of all time. Alongside the impeccable performances by legends such as Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan and Diane Keaton, the portrayal of the Mario Puzo's book was astonishing. The story takes place early 50's where Don Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) takes role of not only the leader of the Corleone Family but a Godfather to many people. After a long time his son Michael Corleone came back after serving his country. But after an attack on Don Vito Corleone, Michael must take the place of the new Don of the Corleone Family. Of course not forgetting the famous lines from the 1969 Novel, the dialogue and screenplay are unforgettable. "I am going to make him an offer he cannot refuse". Who will ever forget the line Marlon Brando blasted in Film History. No doubt this movie won the Academy Award for Best Screenplay.
This movie deserves a 10/10, it's worth every penny, every dollar you spend on it. It's worth watching over and over again.
