I bought the movie back, um 6 months or so ago, it wasn't good. The story line was good but they just couldn't cast many good actors except for Joe Mantegna, who I thought played a good role.

Anyway, I don't like how it's all about pretty, young faces. That takes the realism off and some of the young actors don't know what they're doing.

Another thing I noticed, and no disrespect to Puzo who I find as a modern day Dante, is that Mario is old school when it comes to writing about the mob -- when it's the family, it really is the family -- and that ruined Last Don for me at least.
