The Godfather is far from being a difficult movie to watch. It has a rich story, plenty of action, great scenes,... You want serious stuff? Try Nouvelle Vague French movies from Eric Rhomer or Jean-Luc Godard, German or Finnish movies where absolutely nothing happens and it's just people eating soup. Try Jim Jarmusch's Stranger than Paradise. It's great, it's a classic, but you're going die out of boredom if The Godfather is already too much for you.
Yeah, some of these criticisms are bad just on their face. Godfather is too slow for you? Come on. Is Rambo to slow for you as well? What about Speed?
Some of this just feels like kids who just graduated from watching Paw Patrol deciding they should veto what anyone else puts on the TV.
If you want to throw a fit because everything isn't Marvel, I guess that's fine for you. But don't be shocked when you're not invited back to College Movie Night.
But I can't watch the Godfather and doomscroll at the same time, so it's objectively bad.
And if you survive that you can move right on to Eraserhead.
