I've watched the first Godfather movie. It was quite a good movie.
Then I watched Godfather Part 2. It was uninspiring and pointless.

Thankyou! I've never met anyone who didn't call it a masterpiece and then look down on me for disagreeing.

I believe it's mostly because of the great acting, well-written characters, and, for most of the time, nice directing, though for me those can never compensate a weak story.

that's fucking crazy, i watched The Godfather again just last night, which i hardly ever do because it's a pretty fucking long film. it's great, but i love the whole gangster/mafioso genre anyway. i haven't seen part 2 or 3 though.
you know the scene
where the godfather is shot about 5 times on the car near the beginning? i could be wrong but i heard that scene didn't visually include fake bullet holes in the godfather as the guns were being fired (only afterwards if you look) because the people making the film were told it looked too realisitic. and this was the early 70's, so it may have been a little too close to home for some people. so they didn't include them until he falls off the car. which i find fucking crazy because there are a couple of other violent scenes that look pretty realistic, one in my memory being those people machine-gunned to death in bed. so there's a completely useless piece of movie trivia. if it's true.
i intend to watch the others.
