Pros: brutally honest Cons: not the classic mythos, but a detonation of it
There's a conventional wisdom about this sequel to what many regard as "the greatest movie ever made." Despite the hot wind of critical praise, most who've seen it - including my father, a bona-fide Godfather fanatic - consider it to be the ugly brother ...
For many movies, especially franchises. Sequels are often done to either cash in on a previous film's success or in continuation with a story. Yet there are some sequels that are even better than the original film in terms of its storyline and ...
Pros: Incredible storyline and directing Cons: They filmed a Godfather III
The Godfather is my all-time favorite film. It's difficult to follow perfection. Godfather II did. Two Stories The prequel gives insight into Vito Corleone the protagonist of The Godfather revealing his early life as a ...
Pros: It really is as good as the first part, Cazale's Fredo just breaks my heart Cons: Formulaic
Despite its status as arguably the best movie sequel of all time (I suspect some will naysay this point; not I), "The Godfather: Part II" is in some ways quite formulaic. Following a rigid template he set up in "The Godfather: Part I", Francis Ford...
Pros: One of the best movies ever made -- how can you go wrong? Cons: Some scenes are dark...yeah, I know, I can't find any con's.
"That's not me, Kay, that's my family," says Michael Corleone in The Godfather: Part I. And we want to believe him, we really do. Why? Maybe Pacino just has an honest face. Or maybe we want the fishes to sleep by themselves and the...
Pros: The climax of a great American Success Stories (think, Bill Gates without the obvious bloodshed). Cons: The brokenbacked shape of the film can be awkward at times.
When Director Francis Ford Coppola and Novelist Mario Puzo collaborated on the original *GODFATHER, Puzo wanted to film the story chronologically, with the sweep of an epic; Coppola preferred to write a screenplay which allowed cinematic flexibility. ...
Pros: Acting, soundtrack, cinematography, story telling. Everything. Cons: The non linear structure may not be liked by everyone.
It's a rare thing in the movie world to find a sequel that lives up to the original, and an even rarer thing when you manage to come across a sequel that is widely accepted as actually surpassing it's heritage. Off the top of my head I can think of only ...
Pros: Decent acting, Great DVD bonus features Cons: Character conflicts/developments are actually minimal, Plot has largely been done before
"The Godfather, Part II," for those who do not know, holds a distinction that no other movie holds at this point. It is the only movie that is a sequel to a film that won the Best Picture that also won the top Oscar prize. While there have been a few ...
Pros: Every dramatic element.......!!!!!!! Cons: Nada, zip, zero, nothing.......
The Godfather Part Two, the story of man willing to do anything to protect his family, no matter what the cost and especially no matter the questions of morality involved. The transition of power from father to son is complete in this episode of the ...
Pros: Al Pacino, Robert DeNiro, direction, symbolism, plot, score Cons: none
It amazes me how such a simple approach and structure for a sequel could be woven into such a masterpiece. How the original could be so outdone in many of the same ways. And most of all, how Francis Ford Coppola can make dramatic and symbolic something...
Pros: Acting, Plot, Go out and rent this one also Okay? Cons: None
Before I even start, I have to say that if you have not seen the original Godfather, please do not watch this movie first. Half the story would be given away. This movie is a continuation of the first, and to truly realize the magnitude of this movie,...
Pros: Yo, this is The Godfather, Part 2. Everything is a pro. Cons: Not all movies are made this well.
Rather than simply belabor the fact that the first two Godfather movies are without doubt the finest forays into gangster cinema ever put on screen, I have chosen to meditate on differences and similarities between Vito and Michael Corleone the movies...
Pros: cast, script, direction, cinematography Cons: lengthy, violent, sad
The sequel to the 1972 blockbuster, "Part II" somehow manages to be an even better film than its predecessor, despite the absence of Marlon Brando and (except for a flashback scene) James Caan. While "Part II" did not exceed the box...
