What's with the hype for The Godfather?

I watched it recently for the first time, and I really don't get why it's so loved. IMDB rates it as the second-best movie of all time, but it seems far worse than that to me. I like most old movies and see their hype, but The Godfather didn't do it for me. What am I missing?

I've never been a huge fan myself although I did force myself to watch the full remastered trilogy not that long ago

Yeah I think it's OK now but it's no Goodfellas in my opinion. My guess is it was just very good in its time.

  Oh, you had a fire? Fuck you, pay me.
