Part I is stellar with some missteps. Part II is mediocre with faint and sporadic flickers of greatness.

Here's something I never recommend: watching the chronological version of Part I and II of The Godfather.

Yeah that seems like a bad idea.

The opening monologue of Part I is one of my favorite parts, and it totally pushes it into a weird position. Then there are all these added scenes that are just filler. So it's over 7 hours long, too--I, like you, watched it when I was sick.

I'm watching Part III now, and I already like it more than Part II.

Started our Christmas movie watching last night - watched Krampus. I was left with a slightly unsatisfied feeling

Watching Lights Out at the moment

I'm not sure I've ever heard anyone share that opinion. You are one of a kind, friend.

Keep in mind you're speaking about a man who not only enjoyed Batman v. Superman, but listed it as his favorite film of 2016.

I think BVS and The Godfather movies have a lot in common, actually.

After completing my rewatch, The Godfather: Part III is absolutely my favorite of the trilogy. The last five minutes are overpowering.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
