A fine film that in truth is finer in many ways than the first.

The recut of both films into a sequential seven hour plus single Director's Cut sort of proves the point of the vast scope of Coppola's original vision, which Bob Evan's vetoed after he viewed the first cut of GF1, a very famous story.

So the original film got cut in two, and the first film was the result of many edits.

But still we got two brilliant films.

And again, I read the book by Puzo before I saw either film.

Coppola & Puzo did a masterful job of adapting the book to the screen.

Finally, we see in these two films, great performances from actors destined to be generational greats-DeNiro, Pacino, Caan, et al., plus the tremendous final brilliant Oscar performance of Marlon Brando. Actresses Talia Shire, Diane Keaton, et al. Are equally brilliant.

Two brilliant films.
