8/10
The Godfather II is one of the best sequels ever made. Al Pacino is incredible as the new Don of the Corleone family and leads an amazing cast. The story of Michael Corleone's time as the patriarch of the family is captivating and filled with twists and turns.

The coolest thing about this sequel is that it's also a prequel. It shows the early days of Vito Corleone (played magnificently by a young Robert De Niro) and how he started the family. The film goes back in forth between the most important moments in the two most important men in the Corleone family, giving the film its emotional backbone and providing exceptional backstory.


However, I do feel like the film is overly long. While I do think they had a lot of story to tell, a good chunk could have been left out and used to make a (good) third film. Because of this, I don't consider it equal to the first but I still think it's a fantastic film.
