Seamless sequel, a classic in it's own right

Rating: Null/10 (19 March 2010)

Told through parallel story lines that features the 1900's, following a young Vito Corleone, played by Robert De Niro, growing up and opening his business. Then in conjunction: the 1950's as Al Pacino as Don Michael Corleone expands his crime empire.
Same cast, director, writers, Gordon Willis'cinematography and music by Nino Rota, Pacino is harder and more ruthless than every before. The acting from a stars studded cast is excellent the Cuban and Vegas scenes are astounding, you can taste the atmosphere. A weaving, compelling and seeming realistic portrayal of the rise of a crime family and it pitfalls along the way. Themes of loss, rejection, and betrayal to name a few, Part to is richer in all respects.
A truly classic film in it's own right, Coppola and Puzo deliver a worthy seamless sequel to the Godfather.
