The Godfather part II is by far the best sequel ever made. Francis Ford Coppala did a great job of directing this movie. Al Pacino will always be known as Micheal Corleone to me and I don't see how he didn't win the Oscar for best actor. Robert DeNiro also did an outstanding job playing the young Vito Corleone. It is amazing to watch Micheal Corleone evolve from a young, unassuming war hero who knows nothing about the family business to the cold, ruthless Don we see at the end of the movie. My friends and I have debated on wheather or not Fredo had to die. My friends all say that Fredo was too dumb and careless therefore he had to die; I feel that Fredo had learned his lesson and was content on being a good brother to Micheal and a good uncle to Micheal's children. Anyway, the Godfather part II is by far one of my favorite movies of all times and I strongly recommend it along with part one to everyone. I was very disappointed in the Godfather part III so for me the Godfather concludes at the end of part II with Micheal sitting on the bench thinking back on his life.
