The camerawork is better, and the story about as good as part I. Predictable in places.

Noah Rymer over 2 years ago

I'm tempted to say that I enjoy this one better than the original.

Tony Gandía almost 3 years ago

Matches the superb first part while adding complex layers of dramatic thrills

John Mitchell over 3 years ago

Just as good as part I. Hard to believe, but true.

Colleen Rose almost 4 years ago

A generational crime legacy played out to perfection by Al Pacino. Bella!

The price and limits of power in modern America.

Hands-down-stunning. Vito's character arc is exciting, thundering. De Niro's unparalleled.

Deservedly recognised as one of the most stunning sequels ever made. Stellar cast and plot

Michael is ok, though not as charismatic as his father.

Mario Schievenini almost 5 years ago

The sequel is as good as the first. Even better?

Just as good as the first one. Both Al Pacino and Robert De Niro are fantastic.

It's a classic

Jonathan Evans over 5 years ago

Hmm clever, but a bit slow. As much as the parallel story is clever i think it's overated.

Ayush Shishodia over 5 years ago

Mario Puzo's Mafia saga set new standards for sequels that have yet to be matchedorbroken.

Moe Rock over 5 years ago

Every bit as good as the first installment, Robert De Niro's flashback adds even more.

Abhishek Yadav over 5 years ago

Masterpiece would be an understatement!

Jonathan Gibson over 5 years ago

Much darker mood than the first film. Pacino's performance is truly chilling.

Elizabeth Lynn over 5 years ago

Not as striking as the first, but it adequately wraps up the saga (3 is still worth a see)

The Godfather Part II is a 1974 American gangster film directed by Francis Ford Coppola from a script co-written with Mario Puzo. The film is both a sequel and a prequel to The Godfather, chronicling the story of the Corleone family following the events of the first film while also depicting the rise to power of the young Vito Corleone. The film stars Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton, Robert De Niro, Talia Shire, John Cazale, Michael V. Gazzo and Lee Strasberg. The Godfather Part II was nominated for 11 Academy Awards and won six, including Best Picture, Best Director for Coppola and Best Supporting Actor for Robert De Niro, and has been selected for preservation in the U.S. National Film Registry. (The Godfather Part II presents two parallel storylines. One involves Mafia chief Michael Corleone from 1958 to 1959; the other is a series of flashbacks following his father, Vito Corleone, from his childhood in Sicily (1901) to his founding of the Corleone crime family in New York...
