Description

This brilliant companion piece to the original The Godfather continues the saga of two generations of successive power within the Corleone family. Coppola tells two stories in Part II: the roots and rise of a young Don Vito, played with uncanny ability by Robert De Niro, and the ascension of Michael (Al Pacino) as the new Don. Reassembling many of the talents who helped make The Godfather, Coppola has produced a movie of staggering magnitude and vision, and undeniably the best sequel ever made. Robert De Niro won an Oscar; the film received six Academy Awards, including Best Picture of 1974.

The first two Godfathers feature what is probably the best overall cast of actors in US movie making history. From the giants at the top, Pacino, Brando, DeNiro, Duvall, all the way to the smallest cameo roles, everyone here is real and committed to the power of the project. But of course, that's not all. Francis Coppola is a genius director on the basis of these first 2 Godfathers and he added to that with Apocalypse Now and Conversation. So if you like cinematic storytelling at its best, you can start and end with Coppola's direction here. Along with the riveting saga of the Corleones, you get some of the most devastating social criticism of the so-called American ways of business, competition, and family values. With the addition of Godfather II to The Godfather, Coppola underscored what was great about the first film and went beyond it. Each of the 2 parts works wonderfully on its own, but together, unbeatable. Al Pacino's best performance, and the same goes for several other.actors here, but Pacino is the revelation, just astonishing in complexity and range, with his moment at the very end of Part II unsurpassed in the darkest power, beauty, and pain.

Parts 1 amd 2 are among my favorite movies ever. Just rewatched them and these longer versions are great. So I decide to watch the extras and the first one is talking about 1 and 2 then all of a sudden they start talking about 2 and give a major spoiler! This is an extra for part 2 and then you tell people that someone dies in part 3????????? Not happy, haven’t seen 3 yet.

The person who commented that subtitles are not included is incorrect. The film includes English subtitles for the parts of the film spoken in Sicilian. There are some scenes where Sicilian is spoken where Coppola never included subtitles for artistic reasons. But the parts that always had subtitles are included here.

I've lost track of the number of times I've watched this movie. I never get tired of it. Al Pacino is brilliant. His face, I believe, will ever be associated with The Godfather. However, I wish movies stopped using the word "intermission" when, in reality, they should start saying what they really mean: "Restroom Break."

Godfather Part II is an amazing movie. Let's get that out of the way.
Apple/Paramount, I can buy Part I and Part III in HD and I can rent Part II in HD but I can only buy Part II in SD? What is the problem here? I can also buy an SD bundle but not an HD bundle.
I understand that Warner Brothers and 20th Century Fox think they are somehow punishing Apple by not selling their movies in HD on the iTunes store. In reality all they are doing is losing sales. But what's the deal with Paramount who does sell their films in HD?

A betrayal and a plot to a downfall, and an unexpected rise to power of a new Don Corleone as the head of the family.
This movie gives you the roots and the beginning flashbacks of the founder's life of this family empire, along with struggels of the new heir of the empire. Enjoy!

This Film not only is the Finest Sequel to a movie i actually thought that this film beat The actual Godfather in many ways The way The story took place Bouncing from Time Frame to Time Frame. This Film will not Disapoint you. Al Pacino, John Cazale, Robert Duvall, Talia Shire and Lee Strasberg totally makie this movie worth watching and the most enjoyable the twists this film takes on you are wicked the honer and respect the bloody murders that take place will make you understand this film. My 5 favorite movie of all time thank you I Tunes.

Utterly breathtaking, ...

One of the most tragic family stories to ever unfold, as Coppola unleashes the greatest sequel ever made. Al Pacino takes his magnificient role from the original, and elevates his game to form cinematic style at its most glourious, acting-wise. Robert DeNiro is superb at anchoring the flashback sequences of the film, and John Cazale ends up breaking not just Michael's heart, but our own hearts as well, as the patheticness that is Fredo, takes hold of the film at its horrifying conclusion. The ending is preceded by, what I believe to be, the greatest flashback of a feature film, showing to us all how this tragedy of a story came to be. The final shot, that final, penetrating stare clips the film with a bleak good-bye, as Pacino finally releases us from his wild ride of a performance, in Coppola's grandaddy achievent (or one of them, at least).

Great

As sleek and and brilliant as he made the first, Francis Ford Coppola reaches the stars once again with The Godfather: Part Two. Without the talents of Marlon Brando and James Caan, the film would seem to take a turn for the worst. However by adding a fabulous Robert De Niro to the cast as young Vito Corleone, Coppola does not let us down. Part Two is as incredible and worthwhile as the first, if not more so. This is filmmaking at it's best!

omg i just took a trip inside this preview. I swear I forgot all my surroundings. This movie is amzing. Not just because, Al Pacino was really good looking back then but he was a commanding actor. And not because Robert De Niro was REALLY good looking back then but he was very believable as a younger Don Vito. I could watch over and over. Now the third movie... I don't know if it was such a good idea.
Godfather rocks in my book!

Since I am like the 10th person to mention this problem ( I should have listened to the other reviews but I wanted the movie) I think people should know that until itunes fixes the problem there's a good chance this will just frustrate you and waste your time.

Just when you thought that they couldn't top the first Godfather movie, this one came out. And it's just as good, if not better. Al Pacino, in his best performance, gives us one of the most iconic villains of film history: Michael Corleone. With the inclusion of Robert De Niro as a younger Vito, this film is, without a doubt, one of the best films ever made.

Like it's predecessor, "The Godfather Part II" is a masterpiece. It's gorgeous, patient, beautifully acted, and different from the first Godfather in all of the right ways. "The Coppola Restoration" is certainly the most visually accurate version of the films: the picture hasn't looked this good since the movie theatres. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.

If you want to watch a mob movie that's superbly executed (great acting, script, direction, etc). Then this movie, along with the original Godfather, is for you. Don't bother watching or comparing this to the Godfather part III. They aren't even close. I watched Godfather III once and fell asleep. I've lost count as to how many times I've seen this movie. A true classic

The Godfather (Parts 1 and 2) are great movies. I quote the movie at least one time a day. The thing is, I downloaded this onto my iPod and it's (the movie) not playing! My other movies are playing well (such as Rocky and more), but when I get to this one, it displays a blank, black screen. After a couple of seconds, it goes back to the Movies main menu. I don't know if I am the only one with this problem. The sad thing is, I really like this movie but it won't go onto my iPod. Can anyone give me any advice as what might be going on? Otherwise, its a five star movie!

UNDINIABLE CLASSIC !!

It's a very rare instance when I enjoy a sequel even more than its predecessor; but, that's just what has happened with this film. Watching the ascendency of Don Vito Andolini Corleone while simultaneously watching the paranoid decisions of his son Michael bring about the decline of the Corleone family; from the opening shot of the funeral of Don Corleone's father to the final shot of Al Pacino in dreadful contemplation - you can't ask for a better film.
Again, this film has been restored from a badly deteriorated negative. The restoration brings the film back to pristine conditions and looks brand new. If you get the first film, you HAVE to get this one. Yes, it makes for nearly 7 hours of movie watching, but what better way to spend your time can you ask for...at a price you can't refuse.

This is my Favorite one,

This movie (second only to the first Godfather) is a masterpiece. Critics have called this movie an "opera", which, in a sense, it is. It tells two tales. One is of Michael Corleone's rule of the most powerful mob family in America, as he deals with a near-assassination and rivaling families threatening to usurp his power. The other is the story of Vito Corleone's rise to the top, a story of the American Dream. Al Pacino gives, I believe, one of the greatest acting performances of all time in this movie, comparative to Robert DiNiro in "Raging Bull", Marlon Brando in "The Godfather", and more recently, Heath Ledger in "The Dark Knight". This is a movie for anyone and everyone who appreciates great acting, an incredible story line, and a heart-felt tale of love, betrayal, and the never ending quest for power.
