Reddit soys are already out with their predictable film-pseud defence "Duuude, this is going to be spectacularly terrible, I'll love it 
".
These are the top comments.
Sounds like it has all the ingredients of a cult film, but not a financially successful one
--
Darn these Reviews are all over the place, people who like it are praising it highly, and people who don't are thrashing it.
Sounds like it's gonna be fun love polarizing films
So basically Coppola lost his sanity and made an unmarketable 120 million dollar epic. I'm so hyped!
120 million dollars to create something you truly love that others absolutely hate… That's the dream baby ! Cinema is back !
__
Can't wait. It's either going to be beautiful, or a beautiful disaster. Either way, it sounds worth watching.
__
The reality is even the positive reviews are handling this film with kids gloves. They struggle to articulate what's good about it and are basically going "uhh...this film is ambitious and Coppola(an industry legend) took a lot of risks and we must respect it for that" 
Yeah sure

This will be one of those "perhaps we judged it harshly" movies that film nerds will circlejerk about in 10 years, but everyone else will forget it entirely.

Im to lazy to read comments, but film criticism is in the dumpster so a split review like 48% on RT doesnt turn of off to wanting to see it for myself. Maybe it sucks, but with that rating I wouldn't blindly go off critics

!kino, I just want directors to stop having Adam Driver star in things. He's not a good enough actor to carry a film, and I have no idea why he keeps getting leads. Stick his butt in a supporting role where it belongs.

Copolla has always been a hack fraud.
Apocalypse Now: One of these movies where my dad observed this is your idea of what the Vietnam War was if you learned about it in college on a deferment. The part with Marlon Brando is unintentionally hilarious.
The Godfather: Ponderous and self-important like most 1970s movies. The effort to humanize the mafia is laughable. The Scorcese movies actually get it right. They weren't about family or tradition, they were about money. If you made money you were at the top. And in that era it was already heroin.

If it were good it wouldnt have had keanu reeves or winona ryder in it pretending to be actors.
Otherwise, nosferatus aside, probably the best dracula adaptation there is.

One of my favorite bad movies. If you know someone who thinks Keanu Reeves is a good actor show them this film, he's so wooden and talks with this terrible “british” accent.
Gary Oldman and Anthony Hopkins carried the film though, they knew their characters were campy and over-the-top and still played them marvelously

As far as war movies: Battleground (1949) (bet you haven't seen it
).
For mafia movies Goodfellas and Casino. Drug dealers are always drug users and this is a core part of their personality.

No email address required.
as far as mafia movies go I would sooner re-watch Goodfellas or Casino over Godfather ANY day. Those movies are excellent and extremely re-watchable. More so than the Godfather even. And between the two I'm in the minority of people who know that Casino is actually the superior movie.
That doesn't mean Godfather stinks tho, it's also a great movie but if they are playing Godfather and Goodfellas on different channels I would much sooner sit down and watch Goodfellas for example.
I never seen Battleground but I have seen The Big Red One. Movie wasn't great but I remember being scarred by this scene as a kid. took me forever to find this btw, not an easy scene to search if you don't remember the name of the movie or any of the characters lol

It's true except they do it to your foot. That way two guys gotta carry you out, so they knocked three guys out of the fight instead of one like if they killed you.

Godfather was okay to good but I absolutely hated Apocalypse Now and I remember my dad got pissed at me when I told him Brando's parts were wooden, off-putting and unconvincing

Yeah and it's no surprise that Scorsese is still churning out flicks that are at least "Decent". Coppola's latest offerings seem downright amateurish in comparison.

Apocalypse now is a great movie at least, even thoigh its ridiculous.
I watched the godfather once. Well, i tried but i was asleep for like half of it. Boring as shit, and i usually like slower movies. The horsehead scene is
but thats about it.

Guy hasn't made a half decent movie in nearly 30 years. Every major studio straight up laughed at Coppola's marketing ask ($100m) after the premiere.
This was always going to be a mediocre send off from a guy who peaked in the 70s.
