Al Pacino's portrayal of Michael Corleone is a great performance. Its the character that made him popular. Now, Pacino is a good enough actor to let you forget his other cahracters he has played while he is acting in another role. Although, MC was and is Pacino's signature role, and while not all Pacino fans have even saw GF, Pacino will mostly be remembered in the GF trilogy.
