A continuation of the first "Godfather"...a look at how Michael evolves and what he becomes as he takes over and runs his father's "business". The flashbacks into the life and beginnings of Vito, his father, provide an understanding of how it all started,and adds further understanding into the times and culture of that period as immigrants struggled to exist in the "land of opportunity and freedom". A terrific and candid look at a powerful crime family and its evolution from one generation to another. Pacino is as powerful in this performance as he was in the first...only colder and harder in his character. Superb in this role.
Second edition of the Godfather Trilogy. This film goes back and chronicles the early years of Vito Corleone's life from the time of his boyhood, the killing of his family, and his subsequent immigration to the USA in 1901. The film skips forward to around 1920 where Vito meets Clemensa and begins his journey into a life of crime. As the movie jumps forward again, this time to the 1950's with Michael now firmly in charge, the family has now moved to Nevada. The gambling, prostitution, loan-sharking and racketeering have now spread to Vegas and Cuba with partner Himan Roth. Filled with assassinations and double-crosses, even with eventual attempts on Michael's life by his own brother, Fredo. This film picks up and continues the story of the power of this thing called the MAFIA. This film will keep you riveted to your seat. It is gritty and violent - It is real! You will watch this film over and over and you will see new things every time. Mesmerizing!Read full review
