one of the all time classics

Rating: 10/10 (20 August 2005)

As compelling sequel as you will ever see. Al Pacino and Robert De Niro delivers the best performances of their life. All the things are just miraculous including direction. Coppola's best. But I was surprised to see that Al Pacino did not get the Oscar for this. Most unexpected piece came from Robert Duvall. The background score was perfect as were the performances by Lee Starsberg(Hyman Roth), Michael Gazzo(Frank Pentangli) who justified there best supporting actor nominations. The best sequence of the film was the court sequence. Al Pacino's cold stare as Michael is the most significant part of the film which shows the domination of the don.
