Movie-Vault.com (Arturo Garcia Lasca)
I always wanted to do a "Godfather" review for this site, but I admire the film so much that I was afraid I couldn't do the perfect review it deserves, and because I spent too much time thinking about other things, another reviewer got to it before me....read the complete Godfather: Part II, The (1974) review at Movie-Vault.com (Arturo Garcia Lasca)

PopMatters (Cynthia Fuchs)
Self-critical as well as self-important, ahead of his time and in love with at least a segment of history, Coppola used his Godfather films to interrogate and also celebrate the past, to reconsider traditional values, to trace the corruption of ideals....read the complete Godfather: Part II, The (1974) review at PopMatters (Cynthia Fuchs)

New York Times (Vincent Canby)
It's a second movie made largely out of the bits and pieces of Mr. Puzo's novel that didn't fit into the first. It's a Frankenstein's monster stitched together from leftover parts. It talks. It moves in fits and starts but it has no mind of its own....read the complete Godfather: Part II, The (1974) review at New York Times (Vincent Canby)

Many critics argue that this movie is better than the original and I agree with them. This movie has more polish and the story delves deeper into "The Family."
The performances from DeNiro and Pacino stand out. ...

Although many consider this sequel to be better than the original, I am not so sure about that. It is certainly a great movie, but so was 'The Godfather'.
This is a continuation of the story with Don Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) now in power. There ...

Two years after Francis Ford Coppola made an indelible mark on Hollywood with "The Godfather", he returned with writer Mario Puzo to add to the saga of the Corleones. Part II is an ambitious film - it cuts back and forth between two timelines. One ...

Most sequels don't do justice when compared to the originals (such as Jaws 2, Speed 2, Poltergeist 2, and of course, every Disney sequel ever created). Only a few are either equal or better than the original (Terminator 2, The Dark Knight, Aliens). The ...

Like the first The Godfather - The Coppola Restoration, this is an amazing movie: awesome actors, talented director, fantastic story telling... With this movie, you get the Robert De Niro experience... wow... that's how he won the Oscar.
As for the DVD, ...

This isn't quite as powerful as the first Godfather, done two years earlier, but it isn't far behind. It's another magnificently filmed effort, wonderfully acted and a hard film to stop once you've put it in your DVD player. ...

The Godfather Part II is one of the greatest movie sequels of all time. This movie had excellent storytelling and an excellent cast: Al Pacino, Robert de Niro, Diane Keaton, and Robert Duvall.
It's really a two part movie: one part continues with ...

I read the Godfather over 30 years ago when I was in high school. Francis Ford Coppola is the rare director who can make a book burst to life on the movie screen. The perfect casting forever embeds the images of these great actors into these ...

A sequel to any film, whether it follows a smaller movie, a mega blockbuster, or an instant classic, can be a daunting task to undertake for any director no matter how talented he or she may be. In the case of acclaimed director Francis Ford Coppola he ...

The Godfather part 2 is HIGHLY recomended by me. It is not as good as the first, but it's still great! The only part i don't approve of is Michael ordering Al Neri to kill Fredo(HIS BROTHER!!!) Although he took sides against the family, you should always ...
