Definitely the best sequel ever made. It has the style and substance of the first film, exploring Vito's back story from the novel and continuing the story of the Corleone family a few years after the last film ended. With powerhouse performances from every member of the cast, the film is certainly just as good as the first.

The main reason why it's called the best sequel ever is mostly because at its heart it's really a true continuation of the first film. It tells more of the story that you truly want to know more about and does it by showing you not only the present but also reaching into the past for the entire picture. I'm hesitant to say it's better than the first as in my mind they are both one film and neither can exist without the other.

While I'm quite happy to say The Godfather deserves its place in the list of greatest films ever made, surely Part II is over-rated! I like its basic structure, the rise of a Don (Vito as a young man played by Robert DeNiro) contrasted with his son trying to keep hold of his father's empire in changing times. However, it meanders way too much, especially in the first part. I thought there were some interesting ironies set up in the Cuban sequences, but Coppola never does anything with them. The case before Congress comes out of nowhere, even if it is one of the more interesting parts. Jokes about oranges (which were death's herald in the first film) come off as indulgent fourth-wall breakers. Didn't work for me.

I think Part II is possibly even better than the first, due mostly to the amazing De Niro segments.

Ifound myself waiting for the Pacino story as it was far more interesting than DeNiros. Other than that it was great

I don't relate to people who say this is better than the first. It's good, sure, but not that good, not to the levels of part 1's.

I just watched it again for the second time, hoping to see something new that I missed the first time around—no, still the same feeling.

Great movie, but still doesn't come close to the first part.

There are several good movies, and this is one of them, I can recognize it but for me there are other better movies than this, and this is not one of my favorios, I have my personal opinion, if I do not like this kind of movie does not mean that I do not understand anything or that I am stupid, I mean I have a personal opinion and I do not base myself on the opinions of others
4/5

How could you possibly say it's boring, or even slow-paced? This is a masterpiece. Everything in it is beautiful.
I'd dare to say I liked this one better than the first one.

The Godfather: Part II... what hasn't been said. It is moving and wrenching due in part to Rota's score while being a drama and gangster film, all neatly intertwined into a modern epic. With the likes of Pacino, Cazale, Keaton, Duvall, Shire, and a suave De Niro, Coppola couldn't go wrong. Rivals the first neck and neck
