Top 10 Most Overrated Movies Ever

Rating: 6/10 (21 September 2014)

This is the weak middle part of a not so hot trilogy. "The Godfather" was great, this one was okay and "Part 3" was bad. "Part 2" is too long and often uninteresting. The scenes between Michael and Kay drag the movie to a halt. The storyline between Michael and brother Fredo plays out in an unbelievable way. Despite all the famous lines, the scenes don't ring true. Michael hates Fredo inside at the ball but wants to save him minutes later on the street. Only to hate him again when they get home. And they constantly refer to Marlon Brando. They must say "Papa" or "Pop" 40 times. Constantly reminding the audience that the first movie was better is not a good move. When I was a kid I wanted "The Towering Inferno" to win Best Picture because I thought it was a better movie. I still do. "Chinatown" should have won that year. Coppola's own "The Conversation" is also a lot better than "Part 2" and was a worthy candidate for the award.
