but they are so iconic and started so many tropes that if you watched them today, you'd like you've already seen them and they would feel too slow for today. Kind of the way you'd feel if you watched the original Star Wars for the first time today.

This.

I watched the first Star Wars last summer (with the Cleveland Orchestra playing the score live), and it was slow. I rewatched Scarface a few years ago and it too seemed slow.

The pace was kind of nice, though, in contrast to how everything is in your face all the time these days. It's no wonder everyone has ADD.

I might catch some real flack for this.... but I have never seen ANY of the Godfathers. With that in mind, I think Al Pacino is one of the most overrated actors of all time.

**subject to change whenever I bring myself to watch the Godfather series**


I saw Godfather 1 and Godfather 2 last year.
I made myself if that tells you anything.

That said, they were made in the seventies. They were fantastic, ahead of their times movies for the times.
If you watch them with that in mind you will be able to enjoy them and the performances by some great actors.

If you expect Goodfella's...you will be disappointed

But there would not be a Goodfella's or Casino without first being The Godfather.

Pacino was a good actor in the 80s-ish and earlier. Ever since Scent of a Woman, he has been nothing but a caricature of himself.

For some reason he thought if he just says half his lines quietly ten screams the other half, people will think it is acting.

DeNiro is a FAR better actor.

I mean, he’s no Daniel Day-Lewis, but he does his thing.

I used to think Depp was can't miss but he's had a number of terrible movies. Fear and Loathing makes up for those.

Reeves needs to be in the right roles. When they find him, he is great. When they get him out of his wheelhouse it doesn't work.
This. Fear and Loathing makes up for all of the garbage he’s done.

I'd give him credit for the first few Pirates movies

and I liked Sweeney Todd and Edward Scissorhands

I haven't watched What's Eating Gilbert Grape in years, but I remember it being good.

this guy is painful to watch. He is a stiff and can’t act his way out of a paper bag.

But then look at the movies he has done...

Bill and Ted
Matrix
Speed
Point Break
John Wick

Dude has 5 legit super-classics. Is he really as bad as everyone knows he is?

you forgot he was great in

Reeves doesn't like to be half assed about anything, so for John Wick instead of learning a few moves he went and spent four solid months getting in shape, learning judo and jujitsu.

Then there are his motorcycles. Not his collection, his company.
Arch Motorcycle

And he's a car dude too. Built himself a restomod Mustang like the one in John Wick.

And he does his own stunt driving.

Dude.

I knew that but forgot!!
Great catch!
he might not be the best actor and not all his movies are hits, but he makes some fun ones and doesn't take himself too serious. I doubt he will ever get an Oscar or anything but that's ok.

I love how the John Wick movies have given him a resurgence in his career

I read that Hally Barre is BAD ASS in John Wick 3 and underwent intense training similar to Reeves.

Depp is a good actor but he is a fucking horrible person
