This movie is as good as part I in every possible way. The direction from Coppola is as masterful as ever. The performances especially Pacino are great and really capture nuances in the equaly brilliant writing. The story is also fantastic. The rise of Mikael Corleone in the criminal underworld and the loss of his last morals and family members is juxtaposed to the rise of his father in the early 2000 centuary. This movie is 3 hours and 20 minutes long but paced perfectly and I was never bored during any of it.

If you have seen part I or love movies you need to check this out. This is easily one of the best sequels ever made.
