Worthy sequel to the first movie. In something more meditative and unhurried, in something more philosophically meaningful than its legendary predecessor. Backstage games and backstage talks replaced the dramatic mood swings of the main characters and the exchange of fire.
The second film continues the story of Michael Carleone in the role of the Godfather, and also complements the family story with scenes of the formation of the young Vito Andolini and his escape to America. The difficult choice of being young Don, his sphere of expansion of influence opens up new heights and horizons, but also acquires new enemies. Big money and power always keep pace with great temptation, and therefore you should always keep your ears open. After all, the knife in the back can insert exactly the one from whom you do not expect ...

The most negative review

This Hollywood style formula movie about mobsters isn't as pathetic as the first or third one, simply because it is too dull and poorly directed to stay awake through.
It's basically just a bunch of scenes of people "talking tough" or getting killed, with no point.
If you're looking for a plot or story, forget it. There is none. It's a muddled mess. It appears that by the end, the chief mobster is in anguish over whether or not to kill his brother.
Why? Who knows? None of this makes sense to those of us who aren't born with some super psychic ESP.
It also appears there's some revenge, but we never know why, or who, or what. It's just a poorly directed and poorly written mess.
It does cure Insomnia, though, which is why it gets a 2 rating instead of a 1.
