Rating: Null/10 (29 January 2001)

The sequel to the award-winning masterpiece is just as compelling. Although the two films are always compared, they really are very different. The original concentrates on what the mafia is and what it does, and it uses a more heartfelt approach. The Godfather: Part II is a sequel as well as a prequel, comparing Michael's rise into power with Vito's, making the story even more depressing. I've always found Vito's storyline more interesting, but the ending of the film, in which Michael murders or alienates everyone close to him, is perfectly executed. The Godfather: Part II is slow at times,`but in the end, it packs a wallop.
RATING: 9
