MOVIE REVIEW: The Godfather series

I’ve always liked trilogies and long movies.

Among my favorites that fit these two categories, it would be The Godfather trilogy. My personal favorite of the three would be The Godfather Part II.

I won’t go and summarize each part of the series for it would be a very, very, very long blog entry.

The Godfather movies are about, well, the Godfather. Though a family of criminals, they seem to have a conscience as they would rather deal with gambling and liquor instead of drugs.

Al Pacino plays the part of Michael Corleone perfectly. Marlo Brando is superb and even won an Oscar for the role of Vito Corleone but he refused to accept the award. Robert Duvall is brilliant as the consigliere. James Caan as the annoyingly hot-headed Sonny Corleone plays the part perfectly. Robert De Niro plays the young Vito Corleone really well and won as the Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal as Don Vito Corleone.


The movies display the cold-hearted strategies employed by the Godfather in destroying the people who betrayed him or members of his family. He even permits killing members of his family because of betrayal.

The Godfather is benevolent, asking nothing monetary in return. The Godfather asks for loyalty, which sometimes might be more expensive than money.

If you’re into period movies and into mafia movies, then this is perfect for you.
