I came to the Godfather series later in life than most and to be fair it was probably for the best. It's hard to put into words just how good this film (not sequel) is, it is best appreciated the way it should be, as a continuation of the best series committed to celluloid. This film starts years before the beginning of its predecessor and fills in all the story of a young Vito while it intertwines with Michael's descent into madness. The payoff of the ending of this film will never be forgotten as long as you watch films and richly deserves all the accolades it gets, "I know it was you"
