The Godfather vs the Godfather part 2

[ChristFTW]

Which is the better movie?

I'm going with the first one....

Edit - If you hated them both, feel free to say why....

I've got the VHS Godfather Epic version with 1 and 2 re-edited into chronological order so they blend into one film really.

Ah thats cool. Never heard of that. Just looked it up though.

The second movie is great, but to me, it just wasn't as special as the first movie. I loved Vito as the godfather and Sunny, who were obviously not around in the second movie. De Niro kind of made up for this though, in the scenes of him as a young Vito in the second movie.

I found the second movie harder to follow, and had to ask my bro what the hell was going on a few times. Characters would turn up and I'd be thinking 'who is this guy?'

I liked the scenes of Vito coming up, but I didn't like the switching back and forth, which will be unpopular, because people seemed to love that.

I'd give the first movie a 10/10 and the second 9/10.

I might try watching the version you have watched though.

The Godfather

and btw number 3 suckeddddd ass


I have to be in the right frame of mind to watch a movie like godfather and godfather II

[Vito Corleone]

Number 3 was pretty shit to be fair. Worth watching if you're a fan of the first two movies, but quite a poor effort for the final installment of the trilogy.

I'm in almost complete agreement. I found the second one so hard to follow, but I loved the first one.

[Dylan C]

The first one for me too.

[Stick up for ur mates]

The third one is a bit underrated, i reckon. Yeah, it was a total disappointment at the time and it clearly isn't in the same league as the previous 2 movies but it's a pretty good movie nontheless.

I'm going for part 1. Part 2 is more epic sprawling and it's succeeRAB in its ambitions but part 1 is just more enjoyable to watch and the whole Baptism And Murder section before the end is one of the most intense 5 or 10 minutes in movie history.

Totally agree, edge of seat stuff, often copied, ie.. Elizabeth, never beaten.
The shoot out in The Untouchables , in the train station comes pretty close though....

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.
