This movie is truly a masterpiece; the story is riveting, the momentum and pacing are marvellous, the characters are interesting and it really does pay off what it sets up, however, it would take me forever to recite the list of pros. I do have a few criticisms though; this movie, while leaving out some elements from the book were a good call(such as Fanucci and Johnny Fontain's full story), my sisters say that Vito's death isn't as tragic and Michael's arch isn't as slow burn in the film due to the decision to keep out some of the scenes relating to these 2 concepts, but I think that the scene before Vito's death was enough for the movie and the swiftness of Michael's development was justified, however, they should have ties up Fabrizio's sub-plot better. Overall, spectacular film.
