Featured Reviews

ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Combined, The Godfather and The Godfather Part II represent the apex of American movie-making and the ultimate gangster story. Few sequels have expanded upon the original with the faithfulness and detail of this one. ...read the complete Godfather: Part II movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

A companion piece in the truest sense of the term, The Godfather Part II garnered as much adulation as its predecessor, if not more. ...read the complete Godfather: Part II movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

I'm not sure what I can say about Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather Part II that hasn't been said already, and probably more eloquently, by someone else. ...read the complete Godfather: Part II movie review at Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

Francis Ford Coppola never hit his directorial stride until he made The Godfather. Sure he did a good job on the adaptations of You're A Big Boy Now and Finian's Rainbow, but those were different beasts entirely. ...read the complete Godfather: Part II movie review at Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

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)
