      It’s broadly considered one of those rare cases of the film being better than the book.
      I put Misery and Jurassic Park in that category too.

            I remember the woman who had sex with Sonny, but that was shown in the movie

                    One of the most overrated films ever made. It's made in the most dull, uncreative manner imaginable, nothing about it is the slightest bit interesting or compelling, and its portrayal of the mafia is relentlessly glamorized and romanticized, with zero realism whatsoever.

                        There’s nothing to say. Your opinion on The Godfather is pure entertainment value in itself 🤷🏻‍♂️

                          Yes, God forbid that anyone should disagree with the popular opinion about anything. How dare I?

                              The Godfather
                              is most popular among dorky neckbeards who fantasize about being badass mobsters. Armchair gangsters, so to speak. People who, in real life, act like Comic Book Guy from
                              The Simpsons
                              . I can already tell that that is most definitely the case with you.

                                Yeah I’m sure the Oscar committee and legions of great filmmakers who have praised the film over the decades are ‘neckbeards who fantasize about being badass mobsters’ 🤣

                                  You mean the same Oscar committee that gave Best Picture to
                                  Crash
                                  and

                                  ?

                                    none
                                    of them are ‘neckbeards who fantasize about being badass mobsters.’ Not one.

                                      Who else was disappointed in this supposedly great movie?
                                      You, for starters!
                                      The people who enjoyed the book and saw the movie in 1973 seemed to like it.
                                      Not everyone did…
                                      I take it you didn't care for this.
                                      Personally, I liked Part 2 even better. It held more background and detail to what had gone on in Puzo's book.
                                      You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.

                                        At the time, the violence made an impression on me.

                                          I think it's a very good movie. I do not think it's an all time great one. The novel its based on is mediocre.
                                          I think Godfather II is a legitimately great film.
