Critics, per Wikipedia
Although The Godfather Part II did not surpass the original film commercially, it grossed $47.5 million in the United States and Canada. and was Paramount Pictures' highest-grossing film of 1974, and the seventh-highest-grossing picture in the United States. According to its international distributor, the film had grossed $45.3 million internationally by 1994, for a worldwide total of $93 million. Pauline Kael in The New Yorker was an early champion of the film, writing that it was visually "far more complexly beautiful than the first, just as it's thematically richer, more shadowed, more full." She writes: "Twice I almost cried out at the acts of violence that De Niro's Vito committed. I…

neutral · AI labelView post →Fun fact: through the 1800s coal-powered steamships mostly replaced sailing vessels for the transportation of people and time-sensitive cargo around the world. But steamships were highly inefficient and required frequent re-coaling, and locally available coal was dirtier and contained less thermal energy than the good stuff that Britain (who was doing by far most of the shipping) got from Wales and other places on their island. Because steamships could not efficiently and cheaply haul the coal…
neutral · AI labelView post →The Godfather is a better movie than The Godfather Part II because it stands on its own merits as a perfect self-contained story; Part II is better regarded but could not achieve what it does without standing on the shoulders of what came before
neutral · AI labelView post →"Produced between The Godfather and The Godfather Part II, 'The Conversation' was the only film that Coppola made that he scripted alone, without drawing from a literary source. Coppola’s brilliant film predicted a future in which the more we think we know about human beings, the less we likely do."

It surpasses it, in part, because it manages to make its predecessor even better. We learn more about the dead Godfather in Robert DeNiro’s performance.

neutral · AI labelView post →I understand why people are irritated at the Elden Ring expansion being nominated for Game of the Year but it’s not as unprecedented as you’d think. The Godfather Part II was just DLC for the first movie and no one had a problem with that.
neutral · AI labelView post →It is, in hindsight and given where the franchise goes, kinda insane that the original “Mission: Impossible” opens with the dead sex worker gambit from “The Godfather, Part II.” (Which, to be fair, makes sense in context. Cruise is working with a Movie Brat.)

neutral · AI labelView post →Francis Ford Coppola on why he experienced his career in reverse. > Francis Ford Coppola directed The Godfather when he was just 30 years old. As if that wasn’t astounding enough, he rattled off The Conversation, The Godfather: Part II, and Apocalypse Now before hitting 40. For most directors, this run of stone-cold classics at such a young age would be the vindication of the talent they always believed they possessed. Fascinatingly, though, Coppola wound up feeling like he’d hit the pinnacle…

The Godfather Part II 4. Dog Day Afternoon 5. The Deer Hunter All five films were nominated for the Best Picture Oscar.

neutral · AI labelView post →The Godfather Part II (74): May be easy to overlook how wildly ambitious this film is, but Vito’s grand rise matched with Michael descent into his own hell is staged and performed beautifully. Coppola creates a grand American epic. The photography and sets are immaculate. Pacino is magnificent. A+
positive · AI labelView post →It's kind of interesting that sail-powered cargo ships remained commercially viable up until the start of WWII (at least for non-time-sensitive cargoes like coal and grain etc.). Eric Newby wrote a book called *The Last Grain Race* about sailing from Britain to Australia and back on the *Moshulu* in 1938/1939. *Moshulu* ended up with an acting role in The Godfather Part II (as the ship that carried young Vito Corleone to the US) and is now of all things a floating restaurant in Philadelphia.
