VIEWER REVIEWS
Selected viewer reactions, in their own words. These excerpts reflect individual opinions, not an overall verdict.
“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…”
“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…”
“Building on the first volume, this self-adaptation by writer Mario Puzo and director Francis Ford Coppola develops the story of the new Don - "Michael"…”
“This is by far the greatest movie of all time!”
