Marissa Q The movie was fantastic. I have seen it numerous times at home on the small screen but to see it on a huge screen in a theater is how a movie is meant to be seen! Great experience. Only one complaint: the server was HORRIBLE! It took him 30 minutes into the movie to bring my husband his drink and popcorn. and this was after a number of times stopping him and asking him about this order. Others came later than I did and placed their orders while in the theater. My husband and I placed our orders when we showed our QR code. The server was snarky, horrible, unhelpful and deliberately holding up our order as other late movie goers were receiving their orders before ours.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/25 Full Review Audience Member They manage to maintain the magic of the first one perfectly Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/05/25 Full Review Abe A Nowhere near as good as the original. Lacks the form, characterization and relative economy of the original, though it finishes strongly. Not organized around a single conflict and resolution as the original, so seems diffuse and formless. Not one of De Niro's better performances; he doesn't really give flesh to Vito Corleone in the way Brando did. De Niro's Corleone has no real personality. The entire Vito Corleone sections do not help the movie and could be removed and tightened with a square focus on Mike. The Hyman Roth/Cuba sections are convoluted and probably could be simplified. Michael's characterization becomes monotonous and two-dimensional (because in this long movie, there are greater demands on character which bog down the role); Fredo approaches caricature; Kay and Tom Hagen are relatively consistent, but Kay is invisible through much of the movie. The political stuff, the hearings...is all that necessary? Finishes very strongly, but this movie overall doesn't hold a candle to the original. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/05/25 Full Review Chris F A fantastic sequel capturing you in the feels Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/04/25 Full Review Virgo V Complex themes The film explores themes of family, faith, power, and the consequences of one's actions. It's a cautionary tale about the Corleone family, whose power is built on sin, and the corrupting influence of power. Nuanced portrayal of the Catholic faith The film offers a nuanced portrayal of the Catholic faith, and some say it offers a profound commentary on Christian themes. Ambitious and elegiac Some say the film is more ambitious and elegiac than its predecessor, The Godfather. Great acting Some praise the acting, particularly Al Pacino's portrayal of Michael Corleone. Academy Award wins The film won six Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay. Influential The film remains highly influential, especially in the gangster genre. Great plot and casting Some say the film has a great plot and casting. Ages well Some say the film has aged well and that some scenes will never be replicated. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/30/24 Full Review Read all reviews
