If it's crap... We'll tell you

When I first watched that Family Guy episode when Peter tries to explain why he "don't care for the Godfather", I kind of felt that he was taking the words out of my mouth. For so long I have been struggeling to explain to everyone why I never have been able to finish that movie, simply because I fall asleep somewhere half way through. It is dull, boring, long and...well, as Peter states "It insists upon itself".

Anyone else feel like this?

no, loved it.

Only seen a few episodes of Family Guy, that wasn't one of them, so I can't say much else other than The Godfather wasn't dull, boring, and long.

Yeah, can't agree with you there.

That makes two of us, man. I mean, I didn't hate it. Don't get me wrong, Godfather fans. It just didn't wow me. Well-acted, and well-directed, but just didn't have that appeal to me.

The thing you need to keep in mind about Family Guy is no matter how many good points they bring up, Seth McFarlane is a smug condescending prick who's only accomplishment in life is being able to rip off The Simpsons twice.

Ahh... but we still love him....

Which is not to say this clip does bring up any good points, if anything it points out what a moron Peter is. Which is not to say that disliking The Godfather makes you dumb, everyone has their own taste in movies. There's plenty of movies that everyone else adores that I can't stand.

In my opinion from the beginning to end The Godfather is a superb movie, and the second one is even better.

BUT yoy have to admit the third was a let-down

The third reminds me of the Star Wars prequel, there's really no way to top the standard set by the first two.
So much of the third was just a go-around of the first two with some confusing/obnoxious Vatican scandal thrown in.

It isn't helped by the fact that while the first two were slow burning and filled with great atmosphere and tension, the third is just a complete bore up until the spectacular final act.

That and Sophia Copolla couldn't act her way out of a second grade stage show.

You're judging one of the most popular and beloved films in all of history...by the videogame?

The future has no hope.

Don't worry man as I said before they didn't touch the original storyline in the first game. I hope though they do not attempt to fuck with it now because they are making a sequel.

The game wasn't that bad but man you have to watch the fil,. The game isn't even based on the movie storylines and what they replaced it with was not bad. Overall it was an ok, Italian only, version of GTA. Nothing worthy of the film. If you really want to play an excellent mob game (that is not GTA) get Mafia for the PC. Then cross your fingers for Mafia 2 and hope it is excellent.
