That doesn't even make any sense. There is a scene where one guy is beating the

Crap out of another guy for abusing his sister. If done well, it should look like someone is actually getting beat up. Instead he throws air punches that you can clearly see him missing his face by 6 inches. It's one of the worst fight scenes I've ever seen even for an old movie.

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

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

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

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
