The Godfather vs the Godfather part 2 I thought I was the only one that found Part 2 a little confusing,upon first viewing. For a long time I prefered The Godfather over p2 because I found it easier to follow and because of Brando's iconic performance. Thesedays I like both movies equally,not favouring one over the other.Part 2 is definitely as great as the original,just more complex with equally fantastic dialogue and set pieces,replacing Brando's tour de force performance with Pacino's phenomenal descent into darkness. Goodfellas,White Heat,American Gangster are classics but no gangster movie has ever bettered Godfather 1 & 2.
The Godfather vs the Godfather part 2
The Godfather vs the Godfather part 2 you may not agree with me (and I have no authority to say this as I have not seen the Epic version), but doesnt re-editing the chronology against the directors original intent devalue the film. It was made the way it was for a reason!?
The Godfather vs the Godfather part 2 I really can't choose. I actually saw Part II first, strangely enough (then watched the whole trilogy a year later over about a week). I had hardly any bloody idea what was going on. The problem was that by the time I finally got round to watching the original I knew pretty much everything that was going to happen. It still doesn't stop them from becoming two of the best films I've ever seen. And there is no third film! Yes, there was a film which was released called The Godfather Part III which featured the entire cast and crew and picked up from the plot of the first two, but it's not a third film as far as I'm concerned. I just thought it was so superficial, I didn't care about any of the new generation of characters or their stupid incest, and I found it ridiculous that Michael would ever get back with Kay after what happened. Brando wasn't in the second one...
The Godfather vs the Godfather part 2 I love them both equally!! But if i had to pick one, it would be The Godfather because it was the first film and also because of Brando's performance.
The Godfather vs the Godfather part 2 I've just bought The Godfather: Part II, and I'm trying to watch it now. It's still hard to follow, and I'm yawning my way through it, and thinking about playing Pro Evo or something.
The Godfather vs the Godfather part 2 Agreed.
The Godfather vs the Godfather part 2 Yeah I'll go along with that. Both movies are superb but the second just shades it for me, Michael's final descent into darkness is just jaw-dropping cinema.
The Godfather vs the Godfather part 2 Didnt BBC1 show that once in the Eighties as a mini series shown over three or four nights?
The Godfather vs the Godfather part 2 Spolier alert above!!!
The Godfather vs the Godfather part 2 The second one is by far the best, the way it keeps going backwarRAB and forwarRAB in time showing Don Corleone as a young man (De niro) and an old man (Brando) is brilliant. Also the scene when Michael has his own brother Fredo killed is breathtaking.
