Review of The Godfather Part II (1974) by Alice H — 10 Oct 2017
Similar to the original, this movie is beautifully filmed and adds more depth to the Corleone family. I loved seeing Michael Corleone further adapt into his role as "The Godfather" and seeing how it was paralleled with Vito Corleone become the original "Godfather".
There are similarities and differences between the two. Both feel obligated to take on this role for the protection and well-being of their family; however, Michael Corleone proves to be the more ruthless of the two.
The reason why this movie does not get a perfect score is because it's slow in some parts and its scenes are not as memorable as the first one. The kill scenes are performed out of necessity and do not have the same shock factor.
Additionally, the reason why this movie is good is because it builds upon the original so well; however, this would not have been a good standalone movie.
