The greatest sequel ever made! (spoiler)

Rating: 10/10 (28 August 2001)

This is one of the few sequels that is considered equal or better than the original. The Godfather part 2 is the only sequel to win an Academy Award for best picture! This comes in a close second in my books for best movie right behind part 1! Part 2 lacks Marlon Brando, James Caan, and the enemies of part 1. This companion piece jumps between the rise of Vito during prohibition and Michael running the family in the 50's. There are many beautiful scenes in part 2. The most beautiful scene in my opinion is at the wake for Michael's mother and when Connie begs Michael to see his brother Fredo begging him to forgive him and when Michael walks through the house to Fredo and they hug each other. That scene has brought me to tears. Undoubtedly the best sequel of all time!
10/10
