Godfather: Part II - #3

Since I last blogged, I've seen 8 movies for the IMDB competition. I'll try to catch up in the next few days.

IMDB rating: 9
My rating: 9.5

The Godfather: Part II was a phenomenal movie. I've heard people say this is better than the original and I have to agree.

My biggest complaint with this movie is the length. It was 3 hours and 20 minutes, which makes it one of the longest movies on the IMDB list. However, unlike the original Godfather, Part II seemed to fly by. I intended to watch it in 2 parts, but it was so good I had to finish it in one sitting.

The Godfather: Part II filled in all the gaps left by The Godfather. It tells the back story of how Vito Corleone started his crime empire and continues where the first movie left off with Michael Corleone. Because of this, it's necessary to watch them in order.

This deserves its spot as the 3rd best movie of all time. Everyone should see this at some point.
