Netflix Mafia:

It’s always been a matter of personal curiosity as to why the Godfather 2 & 3 are considered untouchable movies, certainly in terms of the mainstream press (1). IMDB, Rottentomatoes, and so on, all list this movie with scores around 98%, and as someone who had never watched them, I had this habit of asking people I knew who were into films and production, what they thought of the movie; the answers were so diverse that it seemed to create even more confusion within me than before. What has been consistent, however, is that there is some reverence afforded to these works, as if it is not appropriate to really pass criticism on the Godfather, as if the movie was the Godfather himself, someone you don’t question.
