It's hard to judge cinema classics like this because I watch them in a completely different culture to the one in which they were made and released, so what may have been a groundbreaking film 40 years ago may not stand out against current cinema.
Regardless, I thought 'The Godfather' was an excellent movie; a deep, intelligent, epic drama, I can see why it's seen as a masterpiece. I always put off watching this because of its near-3-hour running time, but its slow-burning nature only served to heighten and build the drama, with the story developing several layers and spanning ten years. 8/10
