Best Characters in the Godfather Triliogy
anthonybecerra831The Top Ten

Simply the best character ever in the series, and one of the most fabulous characters in cinema history! - Nintendonix
I thought Brando was okay and De Niro was unforgettable.
Brando and De Niro just created magic in this movie.

He surpasses the Godfather. He has to be higher.
Tom, along with Vito are the only major characters that don't have a major flaw. Sonny is a great character, but his hot heated attitude can make him come off as a jerk at times. Fredo is also great but obviously lacks intelligence and strength. (I'm counting this as Fredos flaw rather than betrayal because I really don't think fredo intended to betray Michael, he was simply lied to by Roth and Ola which I chalk up to as dumbness.) Michael is obviously an outstanding character as well but by end of the second movie he has become unbelievably cold hearted given how his character started out. Tom doesn't have a major flaw, he's smart, a voice of reason, loyal, etc. At no point did he make a major mistake, or commit any act of betrayal. Tom is the most underrated character by far.
Moe Greene Special! Right in the eye!
" I'm Moe Greene! I made my bones when you were going out with cheerleaders ". - anthonybecerra831
He was hot-headed, but also loyal and very protective of his family. He's an amazing character in the trilogy.
The coolest mob character ever!
One of the best!
He beats up carlo rizzi after rizzi beats up sonnys sister! Sonny is classic!
I like Fredo, because he actually is a pretty sad, realistic and magnificent character. He would be second or third spot, if I were to make a list. I don't know. I usually do not like his type, but somehow, I love Fredo...
My one respect for him is he almost killed Kay. Also rest in peace John Cazale.
