i certainly think that Michael will remain Al's most popular character. I love all of his performaces. but the godfather was the perfect movie and pacino gave the perfect performace. it really angers me that he didnt win an oscar for any of the godfather films. one it was amazing to see how he transformed this character who wanted nothing to do with the family and then by the end, hes the don. in part two hes amazing as shows how this man looses it all. i dont mean to dimish the performaces of brando or deniro. but i think all the godfather films belonged to him. and i think he should have definitely been the one to win oscars.
