This is the sequel/prequel to The Godfather and it is as good as the original or better. I don't know which one is better. While this movie has the better story line, the first has Marlon Brando in his now famous role. Regardless this is much of a masterpiece as the first one and it has better acting and story line then the original. This movie won a well deserved Best Picture Oscar but John Cazael (Fredo)deserved a nomination and a win for Best Supporting Actor.
