Review: The Godfather Part II - Page 2

Is Part II better than the original? As far as I am concerned, both are compelling enough to be deemed masterworks. While Part II does not quite keep on pace with the emotions and iconography of its predecessor, its style of splitting the storylines and driving home the sizeable “like-father-like-son” theme is exquisite. Three cheers for The Godfather Part II – one of the best sequels in all of cinema. I bow to thee and kiss thy hand; The Godfather saga of the ‘70’s governs absolute. (**** out of ****)
