The early life and career of Vito Corleone in 1920s New York is
portrayed while his son, Michael, expands and tightens his grip on his
crime syndicate stretching from Lake Tahoe, Nevada to pre-revolution
1958 Cuba.
The rare case of a sequel to a masterpiece improving, expanding and
deepening the scope of the original; one of the greatest movies ever
made.
On renewed viewing: Evey new viewing leaves me in complete amazement over its mastery.
Halliwell****: "Complex gangster movie, explaining the present in terms
of the past and providing a comprehensive view of American society, full
of good scenes and performances."
Maltin****: "They say it couldn't be done, but cowriter-director Coppola made a sequel that's just as compelling."
