For the older generations of movie fans, this is a bliss. A big shot of nostalgia, humour, very good action scenes and a large amount of actors charisma.
For me, the surprises here are two - relatively big role for Megan Fox, who is gorgeous and with excellent chemistry to Jason Statham, and the character of Dolph Lundgren, who is better than ever here.
Yes, some CGI look cheesy and most of the budget obviously went for salaries. But when you have in the same frame such charismatic men (and women), and the dialogue is full of one-liners and old school jokes, how can you complain?
It is excellent popcorn entertainment for a man, and maybe for a woman too.

What a delight to watch, what a story to appreciate. I don't want to repeat the others who already admire this series, and they are thousands indeed. One of the good things in this show is that it is not only about The Godfather, but also about many more masterpieces of that era - Live Story, Chinatown, Paper Moon.
Also I like that it is a mafia movie about a mafia movie - the story itself is rich enough, with a lot of interesting and charming characters.
For me Ribisi shines above all of them. Matthew Goode is very good too, Burn Gorman (Charlie Bludhorn) is fantastic as well. Juno Temple is forced in too many shows in recent years, but I have to admit that she is perfect here.

Don't believe all hate and biased reviews - it is not only stunning (looks even better than expected and all the money are well spent), but also heart-warming and charming just as the original trilogy. Yes, the actors are not superstars, but the characters are more than likeable. And no, the acting is not "cringy" - to me it is excellent and at least not worse than in House of Dragons. I don't want to compare anything with the Tolkien books - I prefer to judge this as it is, as home cinema entertainment, and it is wonderful. All the humor and wisdom of Tolkien books are here. So sorry for all haters...
