The Godfather Part II marks the consummation of saga of the Corleone Crime family. Regarded by many as the best sequel ever, the Godfather Part II is equally brilliant as its precursor and good enough to stand on its own. The complete review can be found at: http://apotpourriofvestiges.blogspot.com/2011/12/godfather-part-ii-1974.html

Unlike 'The Godfather: Part III', this film was made when it had to be made and so is the perfect continuation to a perfect movie. Made with the same inspiration, crew, and love for the story, I consider this one and Part I to be a hugely important film cut in two.

Didn't need to be made, basically a rehash of Part 1, everything seemed reducible to family and business intertwining, resulting in the degradation of the family. Perhaps the height of craft, but other than some great performances, no magic here.

Some of the best acting ever commited to film. Pacinos' transformation from the start of the film to the end is a masterpiece.

It's great to watch a sequel that continues the story so well. I have never seen a pair of films that so hauntingly and movingly trace the destruction of one man's soul.

... movie that uses a glam hook to talk about what it wants to talk about: how to be a man of respect, and what respect might cost. In pursuit of his vision of a life as an unforgiving series of fight-or-flight moments, Coppola's as singleminded as M. Corleone: not a shot strays from the story, no digressing or explaining, no voiceover. The loss of Brando's light leaves Pacino's dark matter free to consume all space.

Good lord Francis, Michael Corleone really broke my heart...! But I still love this trilogy

after watching it again (for the 4th time at least) i dont think i get all the praise for this one>it has some truly great stuff in it but, it drags a lot & feels like patchwork>the rhythm isn't all there for me>my interest rises & drops from scene 2 scene>probably the writing>must say, im not his biggest fan but, al pacino is completely transformed into someone else here, more than in any other film of him i've seen

More ambitious than the first, at times it doesn't seem perfectly coherent. At the moment I give it four stars, because it is beautiful and complex and wonderfully filmed, but I'll have to watch it again to decide if it's worth five stars.

Tap dancing between a visceral origin story for Vito Corleone and a more cerebral story for Michael Corleone, The Godfather: Part II improves upon its predecessor in every way.

I was actually pretty underwhelmed by this picture. I didn't feel that the flashbacks worked and made the movie very weak. I still enjoyed it, but I will never see the masterpiece that everyone else sees in it.

Rjetko kad je nastavak nekog filma bolji od prvog djela ... Back to the future, Lord of the rings ... i Kum ... definitivno bolji od prvog

Acting as both prequel and sequel, The Godfather Part II is a worthy follow up to the 1972 masterpiece and a triumph of form.
