Boring!

Rating: 1/10 (13 July 2017)

This is what happens when a director's first movie is a huge hit. All stops and restraints imposed by the studio and producers disappear. Coppola was constantly told to put "more action" in Godfather I so he reluctantly did it. Not being forced to in Godfather II resulted in this snooze-fest. It might have been an entertaining 90-minute movie if the prolonged "I'm a big filmmaker" mood shots, pensive looks, silly symbolism (enough with the oranges already) had been curtailed by someone. The best part of the movie was a reject scene from Godfather I - that about says it all. A couple minutes of actual energy.
