It was better than the first part. So after Micheal becomes the new Godfather he starts doing business in his own ways. But the thing in mafia business is that you can't trust anyone. So Micheal learns that you really can't trust anyone, not even your family. This movie is better than the first one because it also shows the story of Vito Carleone when he was young and how he built his empire, but the movie focuses more on Micheal's part than his father's role. I didn't like it as I wanted more of Vito. So Micheal who is now as powerful as his father and has made new enemies who want him dead. So he deals with them in a great way. He also faces some family drama and treachery. In this movie, life of Vito and Micheal is shown side by side and you can see the differences. Vito who becomes mafia by his own choice but Micheal was forced to involve in this business because of the family pressure. While Vito has many people to trust, Micheal has very few. The movie ends with a message that when you are involved in these types of things you always end up alone. Overall, this movie is great, fabulous acting by Al Pacino and other stars, direction of the movie was good.
