The Godfather Part II - an incredible follow-up to the first film Advantages: Another superb film Disadvantages: Slow in parts The Godfather II is the second part of the Godfather trilogy. This film sees Michael in charge of the Corleone family having taken over from his father Vito. Running parallel to Michael's rise to power and reign over his father's mafia empire is the story of Vito first coming to America as a boy from Sicily and his rise through the crime ranks. The arrival on the young Vito in America gives a background to the character portrayed by Marlon Brando. ... ...insistence on family being the most important thing. Watching how he has struggled as an outsider to create his reputation as a man on honour makes you realise that this is a legacy that must be passed on and that 'the family' must stay together. This film goes further than the first in exploring the idea of loyalty to 'the family' and the corrupting influence of power. Michael physically seems old beyond his years and Al Pacino puts in an astounding ... jesperado77 25.03.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of The Godfather Part II (DVD)	Did you enjoy it?

The misfortune of being the black sheep Advantages: Strong, inspired acting by main protagonists; intricate, complex story; refreshing edge to the trilogy Disadvantages: Clumsy and cartoonish; pretentious and overly operatic; unsubtle; in the shadow of its predecessors; too self-conscious; underrated and smeared by critics The release of the third part of the Godfather saga in 1990 is one of the most critically controversial films in history. The sixteen years that followed were confirmed by director Francis Ford Coppola to be a closure, albeit an ambiguous one, to the original two films was one that did not promise, nor was expected to promise a conclusion to the story of the Corleone family. When it finally came to cinemas, not only was it widely loathed, but everything ... ...was essentially a spin-off of the Oscar-acclaimed classics, and ever since, the Godfather: Part III has had its reputation tarnished. However, over the additional sixteen years following, opinion towards it has meallowed, though the insult it hurled at its audience will not be forgotten. But for all the smearing of a flawed film, it is unfair to confine it to the Hall of Movie Shame, not only because it does hold merits, but it also adds a refreshing ... harlequin21 07.02.2007 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of The Godfather Part 3 (DVD)	Did you enjoy it?

In eternal glory Advantages: Realistic depictions of the Arlington Cemetary Disadvantages: A bit dated now This is a film with a difference -- many people come to it with preconceived notions of how a military-themed film should be, and are somewhat disappointed. This is not an action film, and while it fits the overall genre of being a protest film about Vietnam, it is not unambiguously so. It is an anti-war film, to be sure, but is not an anti-military or even anti-American film. It has an emphasis on duty and honour that transcends minor considerations ... ...as old as the Roman centurion's honour for fallen compatriots run through to the Old Guard at Arlington National Cemetary. The plot winds its way around the Old Guard, the honour guard at Arlington National Cemetary, charged with the performance of a hallowed trust, one of the few in a secular nation such as the United States -- that of overseeing the gravesites of the honoured dead who died after service to the nation, including the Tomb of the ... frkurt 28.03.2005 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Gardens Of Stone (DVD)	Did you enjoy it?

The Godfather trilogy Advantages: Superp acting, brilliant special features and amazing visula quality Disadvantages: slightly limited special effects (but it was the 70's!) Possibly one of the greatest films ever made, The Godfather triology is a must have for any movie fan. The box set includes all three films superbly acted by a star studded cast including Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Andy Garcia, Robert Duvall and Diane Keaton. Based on Mario Puzo's book, The Godfather is about a sicilian Mafia family's rise and fall from power and the journey of a son as he learns how to run the family as his father ... ...and deleted scenes, cast and crew interviews and many other special features. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, The Godfather Trilogy won a number of Oscars for both Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro (his first oscar). Even 30 years later this is still one of the greated films ever made. ... fenwick91 16.12.2007 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of The Godfather Trilogy (Box Set) (DVD)	Did you enjoy it?
