My brother called me this morning and warned me not to do business with the Mario brothers. Needless to say, I have no idea what he was talking about.

TOASTY what are your thoughts on Godfather part II? Do you think it succeeded as a stand alone piece or as a sequel to the greatest film ever made? Dude, I didn't like that movie at ALL. WHy why why is the general consensus that the movie is as good as, if not better than the first? I don't understand how people can view this film on par with THE GODFATHER.
You know, everyone always says The Godfather is the best film of all time and when I watched it again yesterday for the first time in four years, I was blown away all over again. The Godfather is a perfect film, not only is there nothing wrong with it, but it contains some of the most memorable and iconic scenes in cinema. It was made in 1972, but it is still an incredibly violent picture. It's held up so well over the years, and it'll always be that way.
Then I watched part II and nothing about it is "as good as The Godfather". Nothing about it is spectacular. I'll tell ya Robert De Niro as the young Corleone was the best part of the movie, he did a fantastic job. I really wish the whole film was about him and his rise to power. I could definitely watch that for three hours. Instead most of the movie is about Al Pacino and a bunch of new characters I didn't care for with a story that just wasn't all that exciting tbh. Who cares about Hymen Roth and Pentangeli and Fredo's betrayal of Michael (horrible plot point imo).
That's another thing, EVERY SINGLE character in the first Godfather is awesome. From the MOMENT the film starts, every single person you meet/see/hear about is important to the story and they're all memorable. Part II had some of the most lackluster characters ever. Some of them were just more annoying than anything else. Ooooooooooh Diane Keaten just got on my nerves here. In the first movie she's necessary, but here she's just annoying and a good portion of the film is spent on her relationship with Michael.
I didn't look at the clock ONCE during my re-viewing of The Godfather, I was completely fascinated and hooked the whole three hour run. During Part II I stared at the clock at almost every other scene BEGGING for it to end. An hour and 45 minutes in I wanted to just stop watching. I bet if I had NEVER seen the first Godfather, I probably would have enjoyed the second one a little. But no, I have to compare it to what I've seen because you don't just walk in there forgetting a much better film.
It was just a waste of time, and holy god part II is LONGER THAN THE GODFATHER SOMEHOW. I should have just watched the first one again, I'd be so much happier right now.

WHAT CLYDE?!?!?!?
HOLY **** YOU NEVER SAW THE GODFATHER?!?!?!?!??!
Jesus ****ing Christ dude, **** the war films we told you to watch. Stop everything you're doing and watch it. Do NOT watch Part II or III dear god I can't stress that enough. But dude wtf, watch The Godfather RIGHT NOW. Seriously, best film ever made.
I await your thoughts on the film.
and yes, they are three hours long each (not sure about part III, everyone says that one is a travesty)

I, too, have not yet seen the Godfather. It's been on my list of movies to see for a while, though.

Dear god Joe, get on that! Remember how I had to see Rocky and finally did and loved it? Same thing's gonna happen with you and The Godfather. Make sure it's the next movie you see.

Can't really say without ruining it. From a technical perspective, it's great. Scorsese's direction is flawless as usual. But what I'm talkling about has to do with the story and the end. What a disappointment.

I'll share my opinion of it to you when I get through seeing it.
Also. Seb.
Watch Rocky IV. Its best one. You can skip 2 and 3 without really missing anything(3 had a pretty awesome montage though, but that fight with Clubber Lang was weak). 2 reminds me a lot of 1, but 4 is easily the best.

If you are saying Rocky4 is better than Rocky1 I must be missing something.

Kathryn Bigelow is probably going to win best director, and yeah I'd like to see her win because The Hurt Locker was really great. I'd prefer Tarantino would win, but now that idea seems impossible.

3 does end up being pretty hilarious.
The only thing 3 actually does that is important is build up Rocky's relationship with Apollo. They pretty much end up training together in what is one of the coolest montages in the series. Also something else pretty important happens, but I won't spoil it.
However, that fight felt pretty dumb.
Edit: I don't know what you guys are watching when it comes to anime, but all of you need to watch Cobra the Animation. ;o

I got that when I found out Mr. T is his opponent >_>
Have you seen Goodfellas? If not, you need to immediately see it after you watch The Godfather.

Goodfellas. I'll add that to my list.
Since we are talking about good movies here...
Have you seen Equilibrium?

Smash Master
I saw the first half of that movie like 5 years ago. I liked what I saw, I should finish it at some point.
Right now I am bent on watching all of Scorsese's films (Goodfellas is my fav of his so far), you'd be surprised how many amazing films he's made (The Departed and The Aviator more recently). So once I get a hold of and watch Mean Streets and Raging Bull and Cape Fear I will finish the Rocky series.

Now that we're talking about boxing movies, I just want to say I thought Million Dollar Baby was hilarious. Moreover, Cinderella man was garbage imo.
Now if you want to see a quality boxing movie, Gentleman Jim was AMAZING.

First half? That means you never got to any of the good action scenes. Its what the Matrix should have been like.

*high five*
What was hilarious about Million Dollar Baby?
Disagree. Then again I was falling in and out of consciousness during the whole ordeal because I was completely bored with the movie long before the half way mark.
? The Matrix is a great movie, I hope you meant Reloaded and Revolutions.

I'm referring to the action scenes. ;o
I have no problems with the Matrix itself.

I just didn't buy Hilary Swank's performance. Morgan Freeman was spot on, as always. Buuut I don't think I'm ever going to be a Clint Eastwood fan.
Also, I wanna emphasize.

A hundred and ten.
Whole audience applauded at that moment (even me). I believe it is impossible to not clap at the end of that scene.
Watch a little movie called Unforgiven and see why I began hating Clint Eastwood more than anyone in the universe.
He redeemed himself in my book with Gran Torino though and now I can go on appreciating his work.
LOL with eight reviews
The boxing movie I want to see right now is Raging Bull. Then I'll check this out.http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/raging_bull/

Raging Bull? Seems like I have yet another movie to add to my list

LOL AHAAHA. Remember when he walked back into the frame HAHAHAH. btw my dad explained at lot to me about why he liked the second one more. Most of it involved the story; both de niero and pacino. He also said it was better acted in the second one but I disagreed on that.

LOLOLOL dude I was thinking about that all day at work and laughing my *** off. Just as bad as Scorsese's use of that terrible theme in Shutter Island right before he shoots his wife.
ALSO I asked as many people as I could what they thought about part 2 compared to one. Most of the people I asked hadn't even seen part 2. One of my co-workers said he liked part 2, but it wasn't nearly as good as 1 (thank GOD). TOMORROW I am going to speak with Joe, he's this repsectable historian in his late 30s I believe and he is as big a movie buff as I am (if not more). I've spoken with him about The Godfather before, but never part 2. I will discover the secret as to why this film is so well liked.
edit- HAHA by a stroke of luck he just walked by my office and I just talked with him for 15 minutes about it. He COMPLETELY agreed that not only is part 2 not as good, but he even had problems with it as a movie in general. He said it was good, but obviously not as good as the original.
Mike, I think I know what it is. People loved The Godfather so much that it would break their heart to call the second one not nearly as good because of Pacino and De Niro's performances. And I agree that their acting was phenominal. It is a **** SHAME that the movie is not. What a ****ing shame, the first one is a perfect film after all.
