I still like the original more but this sequel comes just right after the original .. usually sequels sucks but this one is amazing .. it is almost like if The Godfather is one movie divided in two and this is the 2nd three hours. The thing that bugs about this movie that it is a little bit lengthy and a bit complicated which makes it a little bit boring sometimes. Al Pacino did a great job and he gave us a performance we can't refuse.. I still prefer his performance in the original but it was also awesome in this one too.

Allow to quote a critics opinion that truly speaks my mind .. it is (Steve Rhodes, Internet Reviews)

" Is it true that most sequels pale in significance to the original? Absolutely. The BATMAN series is one of many such examples. But is THE GODFATHER: PART II an exception? Yes and no. I am a big fan of both pictures, but prefer the original slightly for its originally and the intensity of the character's emotions. The sequel is more cerebral which is not bad, but it lacks some of the punch of the original. But, these are two great movies"
