This movie would have been better had they not switched from the late 1800s to the late 1950's. Thus to some extent it was confusing. It started out as Vito Corleone coming to this country when he was at most twelve; this happened after his father was killed in Corleone and before his mother was killed. Then, he movie switched back to the late 1950's in Las Vegas, NV, and later in the same time era in Miami, FL, and then back to the late 1800's again. Of course it is interesting in a sense, with Vito Corleone beginning the future of him and his family in New York, and then strongly carrying across the Mafia in, again, Miami.

Al Pacino could have been hated in this movie as Michael Corleone, the now-present godfather. He reached the point where he had no family love. Toward anyone of the members of it. Oh, he was cold! He even reached the point where he hated his own wife his own wife. A mean man for sure.

I personally liked the nostalgia, but it was somewhat confusing. But again, it was interesting and entertaining.
