The Godfather

Rated R. Drama. 175 min

I know this may come as a shock. Who hasn't seen The Godfather? Here's the thing. I had only watched it on television and not all the way through. Yes, I had not seen one of the most iconic movies of all time. But I watched it last night.
Let me just tell you.. Ah I can't.
Okay. So they are in the mafia. There are a bunch of sons. Don Corleone runs the fam bam and has his hand in the cookie jars of politics and gambling. Well things start changing, drugs start becoming important and everyone fights and kills everyone. Its a long movie. Everyone should see it. If not, I'll go through it real fast and then youll have to.
Don Corleone's daughter gets married. He turns out to be abusive and gets someone in the family killed which gets him kicked out of the family. The Godfather does favors for people on his daughters wedding so he helps out his godson by getting him in a movie. He does this by cutting off a $600,000 horses head and puts it in the movie makes bed. They start talking business with a mafia guy from a different family. He wants to deal heroin. They say no. So This guy kills one of their dudes. Then tries to off Corleone! Well he fails, but Sonny takes over. But Sonny sucks. Michael is an army vet and has never been in the family business. Well he gets pissed that they tried to kill his dad. So he kills the one responsible and his dirty cop partner that broken his jaw. Because of that, he has to go into hiding for a year. So he goes to Italy. He marries this girl. He gets word that one of his brothers was killed so they gotta move somewhere else. So he and his wife are getting ready to move. Well they blow up his wife. His poppa feels better and brings him back home. So far, things are bad. The Don knows hes gonna die so he makes Michael the new Don. He wants to move business to Vegas and be legit. Dad calls a meeting with the other Mafia guys and they say they all have a truce. He is training his son on what to do when he dies so that he in turn does not die. Poppa finally dies. Someone from the family sold him out and tried to get him killed. He sets up a master plan and kills EVERYONE. 
Told you, its a long movie. But its freaking awesome and you need to see it if you havent. I have the trilogy so now I really need to see the rest. Sorry if I spoiled it, but now you can see how freakin awesome it is!!
5 out of 5 stars
