"The Godfather Part 2" although long, is still the greatest sequel of all time. How many sequels can you name that are even or better than the first? Al Panico gives one of the best performances you will ever see on... Full review

I thought The Godfather Part II was just as good as the first one, but I still like the original better. A few years after the original, Michael Corleone has risen to power as the new Godfather. While seeing Michael's story,... Full review

This movie was really good. It was not as good as the first Godfather but still very good. Robert De Niro did the best in this one by far. Al Pacino did good but could have done better. John Cazle did... Full review

The Godfather part 2 is one of those films that is better than its predecessor. The story is still engaging, the performances are incredible and the best scene is still the Kiss of Death by Michael to his brother. A true... Full review

Brando, Pacino, De Niro, Duvall, Cazale, Caan, Diane Keaton, Lee Strasberg, Talia Shire, Michael V. Gazzo and others are well-cast, well-used, gifted and correct for their roles.....If the score evokes pity, it is Michael's self-pity.....For films of such visual richness, that is a reason to rejoice.....as I write the top four films, in order, are "The Shawshank Redemption," "The Godfather," "The Dark Knight" and "The Godfather....What we have are two compelling narratives, two superb lead performances and ...

The film richly deserves its status as a classic, and it may well be the better film of the two. While Part II lacks the force of its predecessor, it compensates through coherence and style. ... Full Review

Using flashbacks and scenes set in the film's present day, THE GODFATHER: PART II brilliantly relates the tale of Vito Corleone's (Robert De Niro) transformation into mafia don during the 1900s and son Michael's (Al Pacino) reluctant takeover of the family business in the 1950s. ... Full Review
