Better than Godfather?

I just saw it the other day and i have to say this is my new favourite movie of all time. the acting was suberb and i tip my hat to jerry o'connell he was good as he was in this than he was in shawshank. christopher walken's role bugged me in this film as i dont think hes not experienced enough to play the part. the diagolue and character development was deep and complicated which may be a bad thing for a kids movie. the use of 3d animations was astounding. i sat down hoping for a comedy when i got a really good movie. 8/10

I disagree... I thought walken played his part well and I thought this movie was on par with the godfather. It's use of mis-en-scene was disapointing to me, but the lighting was spectacular.

You're choice in calling this a 'kids movie' I find offensive. This movie has some very strong themes, and like you say a very extensive character development.

Overall I'd give this 7/10, while I'd give the godfather 8.

I think that in time, this might be considered better than the Godfather. Right now, I'd have to give it to Godfather. The main reason is because Godfather 2 was fantastic. If they make Kangaroo Jack 2, then I could see this up there with Godfather. Right now, it doesn't have support from any other films in it's series. Only time will tell.

^^Either half retarded or a unique comedian. Judging by the posting history it's difficult to tell.

I can't believe you people are serious! It's like asking if a two-day-old hot dog is better than filet mignon and lobster.

A cinematic masterpiece, will be studied by film and history scholars for years to come.

Why hasn't this been added to the National Film Registry yet?

Really this is a true masterpiece. Very rarely can a movie make you fall off your chair laughing at the beginning and leave you crying at the end. I really felt the struggle of Louis Booker as the movie progressed.
