Review of The Godfather Part II (1974) by Marc R — 18 Jan 2016
Slightly inferior to Part 1. Part 2's momentum is slightly hindered by the time jumps, but the dense screenplay is structured in a way that is as thematically driven as Coppola and Willis' compositions.
Al Pacino's performance is one of the all time greats: cool, calculating, seething fury underneath a facade of control. De Niro is also great as a young Vito. Together, Godfather 1 and 2 is one of the great achievements in cinema history, a grand statement on power, family, and the contradictions of the American Dream.
