Brando's performance as Vito Corleone outshines every other performance in that series. He was incredible. His body language, how he uses items nonchalantly. Everything about that performance was incredible.
Not to discredit DeNiro or Strasberg, who are both certainly great actors, but to say that they are greater actors on the whole, than Marlon Brando is ridiculous. And to say that their performances were better than Brando's in the series is almost blasphemy.
Brando>>>DeNiro>>Strasberg.

Brando pissed his talent away. All his lines in Godfather were posted around the set, because he could'nt be bothered to remember them. The guy always had the best raw talent and charisma, but he was emotionally f
úcked up, and never realised his full potential. God damn shame methinks.
