	The Godfather Part II (1974)
		Many think II is a better film, though I suppose Godfather may have earned the higher ranking partially due to historical importance; it was a seminal flick, while II simply continued and refined its experience.
		II may not offer the same level of slam-bang moments found in its predecessor, but it may be that film’s equal nonetheless.
		Ultimately, the audio of Godfather II showed its age at times, but it appeared to be above average for its age, and it offered a vastly improved experience compared to the first film in the series.

	The Godfather: Part Ii - Movie Review
		Unlike many critics, I don't feel the sequel has the weight of the original -- many feel it to be better than the first film -- but it certainly is a necessary and extremely good follow-up, adding a wealth of information about "the family" that only serves to enhance the experience of the original movie.
		Godfather 2's most memorable moments -- the Senator's private meeting with Michael ("My offer is this: Nothing."), the denouement of Fredo -- pale in comparison.
		Technically, Godfather 2 is just as aptly produced as the original, though by the time we get to the revolution in Cuba, things have gotten a bit garish, losing the austerity and subtle, dim lighting of the original film.

	The Godfather Part II DVD review on AudioRevolution.com
		All during the making of "The Godfather," director/co-writer Francis Ford Coppola was worried that he might be yanked off the film at any moment, or that the film would be taken away from him once it was finished, and edited by unfriendly hands.
		The Michael sequences are launched, as was "The Godfather," by a huge, lavish party; this one, the first communion of Michael's son, is held at Lake Tahoe.
		Like "The Godfather," "The Godfather Part II" is so magnetically compelling, the characters and incidents -- many of which are based on real criminals and their activities -- are so involving that it's very easy (for some of us, almost unavoidable) to watch these films again every couple of years.

	EUFS: The Godfather, Part II (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The Godfather Part II is both a sequel and more than an equal to one of the greatest films of all time, The Godfather.
		Part II shows us how it was that young Vito Corleone came to New York from Sicily and became the Godfather.
		The Godfather, Part II is undoubtedly a harsher film that its predecessor, which it bookends as both sequel and prequel.

		He hates that he was passed up for the position of Godfather because of not being too bright, but worst off all he hates being given orders from his younger brother.

	The Godfather Part II (1974)
		It is not merely a repetition of a formula, it is a completely new film while still managing to keep ties with the original as an extention of the story set up in the original.
		The Godfather Part II does so in a fascinating way: It both extends the stories of Michael and Vito Coreleone by showing Michael's future and Vito's past, and as a result becomes a haunting and complex character study of Michael.
		But, John Cusack said it best while compairing his lost soul mate and current fiance to The Godfather and The Godfather Part II: "It could even possibly be better than the original, but you have to see the original in order to appriciate the sequel." And this is precicely what The Godfather Part II does.

	The-Reel-McCoy -- The Godfather Part II (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The story of Part II is captivating, which enables one to sit and watch for the over three-hour duration of the film and not even realize how much time has passed.
		First of all, there is a flashback to well before the first Godfather movie showing a young, 9-year-old Vito Adnollini (later named Corleone) who is orphaned in a matter of days as his entire family is wiped out by the local Mafia Chieftan.
		The irony, as we realize by the end of the film, is that even though he succeeds in getting everything he intends, he winds up losing that which is most important: his family, with whom he never spends any time (he has Tom buy his son's Christmas present).

		Part II continues the sweeping family epic that ironically juxtaposes quintessential American values with the extremely realistic violence and criminal mentality of mobsters.
		The Godfather Part II, even more so than its predecessor, tells a story of immigrants in America that -- minus the felonies and murders -- many of us might recognize as tales our grandparents told.
		The Godfather Part II interweaves these two stories: Vito as a young man (an incredible Robert DeNiro) building his underworld empire in the Italian ghettos of New York City, post WWI, and his son Michael desperately trying to keep it together, 40 years later.

		This is in direct contrast to how the name of the third instalment came about, which he flags as the ultimate irony in the closing stages of this commentary.
		It's interesting to hear that he never had any intention of making Part III and the closing stages of Part II were supposed to be the end.
		The fact that it is titled Part II is an indication of how closely linked it is to the original.

		As memorable as the first film is, The Godfather II is an amazingly intricate, symmetrical tragedy that touches upon several chapters of 20th-century history and makes a strong case that our destinies are written long before we're born.
		I prefer "The Godfather" over part II, but I think that's because there were actors in the first film (Brando, obviously) not appearing in the second.
		Part II is a little darker, and not quite as romantic as the original.

	DVD Times - The Godfather Part II (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The Godfather Part 2 is the greatest sequel ever made and an astonishing achievement whichever way you want to look at it.
		The sense of rot which informs The Godfather is placed right upfront in the sequel as we watch the rise of Vito Corleone intercut with the descent of his son Michael into amoral and paranoid isolation.
		It's a sad and somewhat despairing film from a time when Hollywood was much more prepared than it is now to put up with the creative decisions of filmmakers, even if it meant no crowd pleasing happy endings.

	Review: The Godfather Part II
		The Godfather Part II is a more ambitious production than the original since it attempts not only to tell a pair of completely disconnected stories, but to do so in parallel.
		The other tale picks up approximately a decade after the conclusion of The Godfather, and shows the means by which Michael Corleone (Al Pacino), now secure in his position, attempts to expand the family empire into Las Vegas and Cuba.
		Combined, The Godfather and The Godfather Part II represent the apex of American movie-making and the ultimate gangster story.

		After the success of 'The Godfather' and having been turned down for a part in the first film, Robert De Niro follows hot on the heels of Al Pacino by being cast as the younger version of Vito (Marlon Brando).
		In it, we see a 30 year old Robert De Niro being taken from being a clean cut young man, probably not as striking as Pacino with his large brown eyes and dark hair, but interesting to look at none the less.

		THE GODFATHER was cinematic perfection, a film without flaw, considered by a great many to be the greatest film of all time.
		Director Francis Ford Coppola and GODFATHER author Mario Puzo do a fantastic job with the script, part of which is adapted from the original GODFATHER novel (the Vito Corleone flashbacks) and part of which is original (the Michael Corleone scenes).

		The films are an Italian-American Shakespearian cycle: they tell a tale of a vicious mobster and his extended personal and professional families (once the stuff of righteous moral comeuppance), and they dared to present themselves with an epic sweep and an unapologetically tragic tone.
		And it turned out to be merely prologue; two years later The Godfather, Part II balanced Michael's ever-greater acquisition of power and influence during the fall of Cuba with the story of his father's own youthful rise from immigrant slums.
		Indeed The Godfather is ranked No.1 and The Godfather II is ranked No.3 in the IMDB.com rankings as of today.
