Starting when the first movie left off, this film brings in the continual change of Michael just as well as the original. The first left us with Michael Corleone, the head of the Corleone family, trying to turn his portion of the American-Italian mafia into straight guys earning a straight living, this one continues, but to no avail. With flashbacks to his fathers growth in power, this movie explains the beginnings of Michaels family. His fathers ...
...De-Niro. His class act steals the show. This was arguably one of his best performances. His delivery of lines ties in with Brandos performance, which brings great continuity to the character. The music and scores fit in perfectly with the storyline, making the Godfather experience all that more special. With the theme tune being played throughout the director shows great creativity in disguising it in various parts of the Corleone life. Also the ... Read review

Advantages: Flawless Cast, Epic Soundtrack, Fantasic Acting
Disadvantages: Maybe Seeing DeNiro die takes out abit of the suspence

...people tend to forget about Casino when it comes to gangster movies. Its frequetly gets over looked by Scarface and The Godfather. I think its up there with the best of these movies.

Scorsese has managed to create another memorable movie after giving us Goodfellas earlier. It gives ...

The first act is set in the small community and develops the relationships between the main characters.
