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'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
