The first movie is to die for. The acting, plot, soundtrack, cinematography is just superb. My expectations for part two were high. Surprise surprise, part two EXCEEDED my expectations by a long shot.

First of all, the story line in part two is quite complex and gives a different perspective on all the characters. It also added some more detail on characters that weren't really mentioned in part one (Fredo for example). Watching it the second time really helped me to better understand the story and characters.

I am a huge sucker for character background and flashbacks. So I adored seeing the Vito flashbacks and being able to watch the most powerful mafia boss go from a poor boy in Italy to one of the most powerful men in NY. Plus, I just love Robert De Niro. He did such an excellent job!

I definitely loved part two a lot more than part one. I high recommend :)
