The Godfather: Part II is a story of how an empire falls. In this case, a criminal empire. It's acting and dialogue are of the same caliber of the first movie and the story is even better. The characters lose in this movie, there's a sense of dread and looming destruction in this movie. Combined with the rise of Vito Corleone, the Fall of Micheal Corleone feels like the end of this story. The Godfather: Part II is a brilliant movie and should be seen by anybody who loves film.
