Just like Alien and aliens which one is better ? I have never seen these films before but heard alot of good things about them . All i know is that the third movie isnt as good as the first two.
Gender: Male Location: Outside Olivia Wilde's house.
A lot of people prefer the second one, but I am a bit old fashioned in thinking that the first one is the best. I love all of the performances and the dramatic last few minutes.
I just watched the first one for the first time last week. Wasn't all that impressed, considering its apparently the greatest movie ever made. Marlon Brando's performance is way overated, it had slow pacing.... i don't know I just didn't get it.
lmao soap Opera? Is that the new word for Drama? These films are masterfully crafted. If you appreciate writing and character development you will know that the Godfather is a masterpiece. Is there not enough violence..,is that what makes it boring? These films are amongst those films that you experience. You don't watch the Godfather, you experience it. You, WATCH Transformers. The godfather is one of those few rare movies that stay with you.Unlike Transformers you don't pop in the Godfather when you just wanna watch something. You watch the Godfather when you want to experience something. You only need to watch it once and it will be ingrained in your memory forever. This might make post viewings less impactfull, but the movies' are still Expertly written, acted and directed ( well maybe not the third _ ). The Godfather Taxi Driver, GoodFellas, Raging Bull, Dirty Harry, Bullit..., These are sentinels of Cinema. There's just something special there. You cannot compare these movies to a Soap Opera, That's just distasteful, man. Show a little more respect than that. You might not get it, or like it..,but you still KNOW what, The Godfather has done for cinema. It's a relic of...,a portrait history. I thought you were made of sterner stuff, dude
Can't pick one over the other. The second Godfather is a companion piece to the first. It's one of those good books that you never want to end, extended. You can't watch the first Gofather without wanting to watch the second one, upon credits.

Sort of. You do know that Soap Operas are "dramas", right?
It's the name for tons and tons of dialogue and character development that is serialized, with long drawn out stories surrounding that character development. Sounds like I'm describing the Godfather films, doesn't it?
Just read the rest of your post. Sure, they were acted really well. Amog the best. They were just rather boring.
Let's put it this way: I've watched other films that were heavily laden with dialogue and character development, and I enjoyed those more. It's an opinion thing, in the end. I enjoyed Goodfellas, more. Acting was better in the Godfather films, though.

Actually, it doesn't. Lest both of us commit argumentum ad populum, we both should agree that it is opinion and nothing more. I probably like films that are more "heady" or complex than some of the films you like, but you don't see me acting smug when you express your opinion.

Just by looking at them I know I'd be bored
