September 7, 2009It's funny how well this film worked so well after the departure of Brando but that's where both De Niro and Pacino stepped up in a film that really made their careers. Even though the pair never have a scene together, its almost like their in competition. This is a far superior ...( read more)

June 22, 2009Whlle not as consistently "solid" as The Godfather, this second installment of the Corleone family saga is still an riveting piece of work.
And fans of the first film will no doubt appreciate the opportunity to not only a little "follow-up" on the Corleones, but also to get a ...( read more) -
May 3, 2009Some see this as less a sequel, but more of a continuation of the first. Some see this as the greatest sequel ever made. I don't fall into either side, but I do know this is some damn fine film making.
The film is split into two major stories, both being played out at the same t...( read more) -
April 25, 2009The Godfather Part II may just skim off the edge of the original Godfather but this one definetely exceeds more on the 'Movie To See Before You Die' factor. The story of Michael Corleones soul loss is awesome, but what really is brilliant is the 'prequel' part of the film. Robert...( read more)

October 24, 2009Surpasses the first film and creates a beautiful contrast between Vito and Michael. This film is the one that turned the film from the Rise of Michael Corleone, to the Fall of Michael Corleone

June 12, 2007This was not even to be part of a sequel but it surpass the original in many ways. No wonder the film won 7 Oscars including Best Picture of 1974.

March 20, 2007It is hard to say....but I must be honest this is one case where the second film tops the first...the fact that this film reaches so far back in time to bring a whole new meaning to the story is compelling enough. Combined that with some great actors and you have a movie that will last for years to come.

March 4, 2007Amazingly enough its better than the original. We voyage into the past and see how Vito (Robert De Niro) became the godfather. In the present time Michael ( Al Pacino) is going through some incredibly hard times, from an assasination attempt to being placed under investigation by the Feds. This movie is awesome, the more I think about it the more this movie stands out as a masterpiece. Who could ever forget the making of cinema history when Michael confronts his brother Freddo during a new years celebration...kisses him on the lips and tells him .." I know it was you Freddo".. goddamn that was friggin genius. My god Francis Ford Coppola was at the top of his game when he did this, not to mention Al Pacino & John Cazale. Seriously this movie is the reason to disconnect the phone, get some popcorn ready, some wine and watch the trilogy back to back.

It is a wonderful masterpiece!
It is one of the few movies I could keep watching over and over.
