I just don't get it. Sure the acting in some parts of the movie is good, but honestly, the entire "angry Italian"-role is probably the easiest character to play. And i really don't get how every other character other then the "angry Italian" seems underdeveloped, plain boring and uninteresting.

The only way for you to like this movie is by sympathize with the characters. And sympathizing with the bad guys (since almost every main character is a murderer and a mob member, even the protagonist is a bad guy)is difficult, although not impossible. If the director makes the evil sides of those characters redeemable, then it would be a lot easier for the viewer to sympathize and worry about the protagonist if he/she was in danger. When i however see Michael Corleone in danger in this movie, every time i wish for him to be killed, for i feel nothing for him. Which means that watching this movie was a waste of time.

Although the soundtrack is quite good so instead of a rating of "1" The Godfather will receive a "2" out of generosity...
