This film is not a sequel to the first, its so much more than that. Its difficult to compare the two films against one another but they both sit in the top 5 films ever made - and that says enough.

Watching how Micheal is dealing with taking over the family is exciting yet you can't help but feel a little bit sorry for him as he never wanted this life. Seeing how he has to hold the family together with fear is even more disturbing as we flash back to seeing his father create the family with love.

De Niro is amazing as a young Don Vito and rightfully won an Oscar for his performance.

Easily a 10/10. Greatest Mafia film made.
