      Marissa Q The movie was fantastic. I have seen it numerous times at home on the small screen but to see it on a huge screen in a theater is how a movie is meant to be seen! Great experience. Only one complaint: the server was HORRIBLE! It took him 30 minutes into the movie to bring my husband his drink and popcorn. and this was after a number of times stopping him and asking him about this order. Others came later than I did and placed their orders while in the theater. My husband and I placed our orders when we showed our QR code. The server was snarky, horrible, unhelpful and deliberately holding up our order as other late movie goers were receiving their orders before ours. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/01/23 Full Review Ricceaux Classic masterpiece of cinema... superb in every respect. Along with Part 1, should be in the top 10 of any movie buff. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/21/24 Full Review Esse C One of the greatest films of all time Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/18/24 Full Review jennifer F It is as much a sequel to the Godfather as it can get. The mafia scenes are good, the music is perfect, the drama is top notch, and the romance is as good as it can get. In my opinion the best part in the movie is the flashbacks with Vito. The runtime is unbearably long. In the end it is a very good movie that is on the same level or slightly worser than the first Godfather. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/28/24 Full Review Dhanu K Unlike the first installment, which presented a Godfather figure with a moral code, Part II portrays the ruthless and destructive nature of power within organized crime. Pacino delivers an excellent performance, while De Niro shines as young Vito, showcasing the origins of the Corleone power. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/26/24 Full Review Daniel C. M Top 5 best movies of all time and even better than the original. Don't need to say nothing more, just watch it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/23/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Wendy Ide Times (UK) The storytelling is leisurely and masterful; Coppola at the very peak of his powers. Dec 29, 2023 Full Review Jake Cole Slant Magazine The Godfather films have set home-video standards for decades, and that trend continues with Paramounts astonishing 4K restorations. Mar 18, 2022 Full Review Pauline Kael New Yorker It’s an epic vision of the corruption of America. Mar 8, 2022 Full Review Montezuma Bay Area Reporter If you like your drama on a low-key level with excellent acting all around, then Godfather II is where it's at. I wasn't a great fan of the original but this sequel succeeds in unraveling the saga of a simple Mafia family. Jun 27, 2023 Full Review Mark Johnson Awards Daily Through a compelling dual character study, the sequel explores the intertwined yet distinct paths of its protagonists. The result is a breathtaking display of filmmaking leaving us in awe of its expansive scope, attention to detail, and sheer perfection. Jun 8, 2023 Full Review Fico Cangiano CineXpress Podcast The finest example of when a sequel is superior to its predecessor. The Godfather Part II is one of the best films of all-time. A masterpiece. It's that simple. Full review in Spanish Rated: 5/5 Apr 27, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
