The Godfather - #2

The Godfather was the first new movie I watched for the IMDB Top 100 Challenge.

IMDB rating: 9.1
My rating: 9

I thought Marlon Brando played his role as the Godfather perfectly. It was one of the best performances I've ever seen. Al Pacino was also great. The complexity of the characters is what made this movie so good. There were no clear cut good or bad guys.

My main criticism of this movie is that there are too many names to keep track of. I ended up missing a lot of references because I didn't know who the characters were talking about, but I'm sure after watching it a few more times it'll make more sense. This isn't really a con, since it's the type of movie I wouldn't mind watching again and again.
