  1. It has only been acclaimed in retrospective reviews; it received mixed to negative reviews upon release

  2. You must be a child if you think Harry Potter is better than "The Godfather"

  3. I felt the same thing :) A pity that many people don't feel the same The book is great too

  4. check out "The Godfather", here are my reasons for why I think it's pure perfection: - Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, and Robert Duvall all delivered one of their best performances of their careers, and the rest of the cast were all outstanding as well - It has several layers with allegories to war and capitalism, but also talks about family loyalty and Mafia rivalry, and you see Michael Corleone's transition from being a family outsider to become a Mafia head - The music is either beautiful, suspenseful, intense, or very Italian-like - Every scene affects the next one and is well-thought-out - Great nuance in locations, conflicts, and atmosphere - All great characters and especially antagonists - Great art direction - Very faithful to the novel; it didn't lack very much

  5. The Godfather is widely considered to be one of the greatest movies of all time, and it's almost 100 % faithful to the novel with only some minor plot elements left out, and some of the scenes were actually handled better in the movie

  9. Feuragon Just because you don't like them doesn't mean that they're not considered bigger masterpieces than the Harry Potter films will ever be

  10. Feuragon Forget it. You have no idea what I'm talking about

  12. Great movie, but I'm not sure if it's well-known enough

  13. +Geeky Ravenclaw My cousin was highly disappointed, and she loves the books
    1
  14. +Darrylizer1 Shelley Duvall's performance wasn't that well-received though; she was nominated for a Razzie after all, and she appeared on a Watchmojo list for top unintentional annoying movie characters

  15. Fridolin Freundlich what about The Green Mile?
    1
  16. for "The Da Vinci Code", the general response has been that it doesn't bring out the essence of the novel at all. I personally have not the read the novel, but my mother has and was like "How are people who have not read the novel supposed to understand this film?"
    1
  17. It was much easier to understand the film after reading the book though. But I agree that Johnny Fontaine's role in the book was too big

  18. +Giuseppe Brancato The first movie was very well-received
    1
  19. I've read that they actually tried to make a movie adaptation of the novel mentioned in the story, but it instead became an almost autobiographical movie about the adaptation process

  20. Gelatinous Joe I have seen it, and it was great

  21. Yes

  22. Just because he doesn't like them doesn't mean everybody else should feel the same
    1
  23. Giuseppe Brancato Then the Harry Potter series should not be here either since there is a bunch of Potterheads who hate the movies

  24. "The Godfather" has been near-universally acclaimed

  25. +Matt M WatchMojo are not American
    1
  26. +No One Same! It's a prime example of being a great adaptation and not leaving out anything important, but still have something that's unique about it.
