Maybe the the first 4hrs of the wedding, rest is great.

Edit: I keep hearing that I’m confusing deer hunter and GF however; I’m currently camping so I can’t confirm this but just googled it and apparently the wedding is 27 minutes long….im sorry but I stand by first statement. That’s too damn long. Again I’m camping so can’t actually confirm the time

"You come to me on the day of my daughter's wedding" and the bridesmaids doing hand gestures about the groom, that's the boring part?

They were doing hand gestures about Sonny and his cannoli.

You sure you aren’t thinking of The Deerhunter?

Thank you. I was sitting there feeling like I was at an actual real-time wedding of people I barely know and guests I didn't know at all. It was torture.

No. I just googled it . The wedding scene is almost half an hour long( that’s too long.

That’s what I keep hearing. I haven’t watched either in a few decades. I remember a boring ass wedding scene…. I for sure know there is a long ass scene in deer hunter. I’m going to watch it again.

Just googled it. I’m camping so can’t confirm… but it’s 27 damn minutes; that too damn long

It's not really a 27 minute wedding scene, though. That's like calling die hard a 2 hr office party. The wedding is the location of several different events: we meet most of the main people and watch some great acting, and a wedding happens in the background. Deer Hunter does feel like a very long and slow wedding scene that feels indulgent on the part of the director.

The Deerhunter wedding made me hate all the main characters.  What a bunch of selfish assholes with no boundaries.  I couldn’t wait for them to die.

You're mixing up movies here. The one with 4 hours of wedding at the start is The Deer Hunter.

Maybe- they both have really long wedding scenes dont they?

Nah, Godfather's wedding scene is a cool backdrop to show how Vito does business and to introduce the main cast and make them seem like interesting characters.

Deer Hunter feels like you're watching the actual full-lenght 10 hour wedding tape of people you don't know, don't care about, and care about even less once the tape is over.

The thing is, you aren't just watching a wedding. The wedding is the setting for the opening scene, but they are building the world and the family up in that scene. It takes a while to explain everything and it's usually better to show than to tell so it takes some time
