3.25

This is a better film than novel.
Also most definitely pulp fiction at its gory, nonsensical best.
The sexism and racism date this seriously.
It goes on too long and the mystery is simplistic.
This is not politics on the level of Game of Thrones but it did make a wonderful film.
Puzo wrote better novels.
This remains a classic.
