Lauded by many as superior to the original, which in turn is regarded as one of the best films of all time, THE GODFATHER PART 2 is a remarkable work. This landmark movie follows Michael Corleone (Pacino) as he consolidates his power over the mafia following his father’s death and also brings us back into the past to explore the origins of Don Vito Corleone (played as a young man by Robert De Niro).
