Complex and costly sequel

Rating: 9/10 (28 December 2018)

The end of Godfather Part I already hinted that Part II will continue with Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) being the new head of the family.

They change the location to Nevada and introduce a lot of new characters, depicturing Michael's own way of being 'The Godfather'.
Additional they also show many flashbacks to the life of his father, Vito Corleone, how he got introduced to the Mafia as a kid in his home in Corleone, Sicily and his rise to a Mafia Godfather as an adult, played by Robert DeNiro, who fits the role very well, in 1917 onwards in the ghettos of New York City.

All in all, the movie is very lenghty and complex, I am not even sure I understood everything fully and might have to rewatch some parts or read through synopsises.
