It has been a continuation film that is not very different from the first in quality. It is so good that they show us the differences of character between Michael and Vito during these turns as they return to Vito'n story. I do not think it was a Marlon Brando influence in the first movie, but I liked the second one more, especially because it is a two story movie and the De Niro factor has a big part for me; I was expecting more of this past time.
