89. A good run. RIP.
The Godfather, Part 2: Probably the greatest (non sci-fi or 007 movie) sequel ever made.
Agreed.
Yep...the greatest sequel. The only other sequel that can only come close to Godfather II is The Empire Strikes Back...I say that because ESB is the defining movie that made Star Wars what it is today and it was the best of the originals in action and suspense
In a sense GF II wasn’t a sequel. Rather, it picked up the parts of the GF I novel that weren’t included in the original movie, completing the basic story. GF III was really the sequel and it was horrible compared to the other two.
Yeah, 89 is good...
We get what we get, and that’s all we get. Then its back to dust.
Seems futile and ultimately pathetic, doesn’t it... a lifetime spent learning stuff, figuring things out, working your ass off, and then done. Pfft.
Yes. I also liked the 3 in 1 they put together, except the last half or so of part 3. It was a good story, but Al Pacino as Michael, was a huge disappointment. To say he overdid it, would be an understatement. He seemed to forget his character, all together. Kind of a cross between Groucho Marx and an old George Raft. Very disappointing. If Robert de Niro could play a young Vito, to perfection, whom he looked nothing like, they could have had someone other than Pacino play an old Michael. Michael Nouri, Armand Assante, even Ben Gazzarra, but NOT the now Crazy Al.
