 Topic: The Godfather Part One, Two, or Three?
Posted: July 27 2010 at 08:32 |
"It's a question you can't refuse" to answer.  Extremely bad joke, I know. Both very good, IMO.... Hmm... I'm going to go with Pt. 2, because of Robert De Niro plays a great role in it. I don't see 3 getting a lot of votes...

Part three is rubbish.

Part 2 for me as well; shame that 3 was so poor.

Part 1 for me. Two is okay, especially DeNiro, but not as good as 1.

Wow, I thought I was alone preferring the second one. But maybe as this poll goes on, I'll find out that I was right all along.

I'll give my vote to Part I, even if Part II is very very good too. I have yet to see Part III, but given as how it is almost unanimously considered much weaker than the first two I guess it doesn't matter.

Most people generally think the second is better, although I don't know why.

Although the second is generally considered better, I like Part I best.

The first two are close but Brando and James Caan's contributions make the first my favorite
I still refuse to see the 3rd

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I think 2 holds up the best and is by far the most interesting and authentic

I have only seen them once, so don't really remember, but this thread just made me want to see them again.

Part One. Unless you've read the book (which is mandatory), Part Two doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I actually enjoyed Part Three, not as much as the first two parts sure, but I don't think it was as bad as everyone made out.

Agreed. It even won the Oscar for best film (maybe the competition wasn't strong, I never heard about three of the other four nominated films).

Two for me. It took me three times to get through III without falling asleep.

Oh my God, I agree with Slarti on something  
I have to say though, even though III is perceived to be the weakest, I do still like it as a movie; if it were seen in isolation, it would still knock seven shades of +++good for the roses+++ out of 99% of other gangster films (in my humble opinion of course  )

You are not fit to be an Admin....  
I prefer the first one, though only because is the one I saw first and which made me fall in love with these trilogy... All of them (even the flawed 3) are great, the first two the highest peak in movies for me..
