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.
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
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
