The Godfather Movie part 1 review

believe it or not, today was my first time to watch the Godfather, and I didn't even read the novels yet, so I don't know if throughout this review I'm criticizing the movie only, or booth the movie and the novel, but I'll say what I thought about what I had just seen

will anyone here kill me if I say that it was a horrible movie? hope not

I know that the movie is very old, but for me the first half of the move was VERY boring, till the Godfather got shoot (and by the way, I don't really think that someone like the Godfather would stop to buy some fruits on his way home, couldn't they come up with a better scene!) and at other times, things went real fast that I couldn't easily understand who was after who -even worse suddenly you discover that Michael got married AND has a kid, who is a toddler!! -

the movie only started to be interesting when Michael, decided to revenge for his father, that was, mmmmm touching - if that is the right word to use -

after that Michael runs away to hide, and meets Aplliena, whom he almost immediately marries, though he knows that we is sought for revenge, and feels so bad when she gets killed, as if it was that hard for a Godfather-to-be to expect that coming

and when Michael later one gets back to America he proposes to Kai, and simply says "marry me, I need you Kai", why do u need her? you can spare her the trouble, spare yourself the trouble, and were you that in love with her that you got married before!!
For me, that whole part about Mike's personal life was very unconvincing

the interesting parts about the movie, were those about the lives of the Godfather's sons and daughter, those scenes reminded me with our Arabic series "المال والبنون" they simply shows that filthy money leads to a miserable life - guess the arabic series did it better -

the other interesting part was how the Godfather was against drug dealing, I was surprised that such a person, would have those high morals, do they want to say that he is not that a bad man after all?
well to be hones every human has a good and a bad side, and it was nice to show the good side of such a heartless underground leader

however, that doesn't mean that I liked the movie, there was too much blood, too much killing, too much waste of time, and too much time overload at other scenes, honestly don't waste your time, just read wikipedia's summary and listen to "speak softly love" song, because that musical background was he best thing about the movie
