Upon its release The Godfather: Part II was hailed as the best sequel to a movie ever made, however this film is much more than that. Coppolla utilised a quite brilliant screenplay and turned it into a visually captivating treat, as well as using his directorial skills to make the audience view the rise and demise of the ill-fated Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) as first-person participants, with masterful skill. Add to this an astounding performance by Pacino and an Oscar-winning portrayal of Vito Corleone by Robert De Niro and you quite simply have the quintessential mob movie.
