Astonishing!

Rating: 10/10 (30 October 2011)

'The Godfather' is amongst the Greatest Films of Cinema. It left an haunting impact on it's viewers. It's my favorite film from the 70's.
It's sequel, 'The Godfather: Part II', is Astonishing work, as well. Francis Ford Coppola's Screenplay & Direction, both, are Godly, while the Performances, are Remarkable. It's a film, where everything seems right, there is absolutely nothing wrong about this film. A Flawless Motion-Picture, that is the Greatest Sequel, it's mighty Prequel could've asked for.
'The Godfather: Part II' Synopsis: The early life and career of Vito Corleone in 1920s New York is portrayed while his son, Michael, expands and tightens his grip on his crime syndicate stretching from Lake Tahoe, Nevada to pre-revolution 1958 Cuba.
'The Godfather: Part II' begins remarkably & culminates, astoundingly. As mentioned, there is absolutely nothing wrong about this film, it's flawless work.
Coppola's Screenplay & Direction, both, are truly Godly. Coppola has a made film, that can never be forgotten. Like it's prequel, it's a film, that will always enjoy a strong fan-base among film-buffs worldwide. Cinematography is picture-perfect. Editing & Art Design, are well-done.
Performance-Wise: Al Pacino is simply INCREDIBLE as Michael Corleone. Pacino, truly, is the Epitome of "FINE" Acting. Robert De Niro, on the other-hand as the young Vito Corleone, is hugely impressive. Robert Duvall is outstanding, yet again. Diane Keaton is believable. John Cazale is fabulous & stands out in many scenes. Lee Strasberg leaves a strong impact. Gastone Moschin, Dominic Chianese & Michael V. Gazzo are good, as well. Others lend very good support.
On the whole, 'The Godfather: Part II' is a film that makes Cinema Proud. An Unbeatable & Unforgettable Film.
