Although I may end up changing my opinion as I will be rewatching this one down the line and for many years to come, I just finished my first viewing of this and believe the first one is better

The story in part 2 is great dont get me wrong, I loved the stories on the rise of Vito Corleone from when he arrived in America to becoming ' The Godfather' as seen in the first film and the other story focusing on Michael as the Don of the Corleone Crime Family as he tightens his grip on everything while dealing with a devastating betrayal and losing his family in the process. They were both interesting and I do love them both. But I just feel like the first is better as mostly any first movie in a trilogy or a series goes

Great cast of characters once again including Dominic Chianese who played Uncle Junior in The Sopranos in Godfather Part Two playing a great character called Johnny Ola. The cinematography is stunning once again and so is the soundtrack. I should point out I watched this movie online where it had no subtitles during scenes of Vito's story when talking in Italian which sucked so maybe that's why my first view of this film is as it is but I am getting the Trilogy on DVD very soon so maybe when I look back on this one again my opinion on Part Two will change and will be just as good if not better than the first one. If that is the case I will do another review. If not. You got this. Take it or leave it. Look forward to watching the last one tomorrow.
