So i just watched the best sequel ever again yesterday...me i think it's even a lil better than part one but i was wonderin what people on here thought. Part one had Marlon Brando of course as the legendary Vito Corleone and DeNiro as the young Vito can't live up to that in part two. still i think the story (or the two stories actually) in part two are told in an even more impressive way and the directing is even a lil better...wonderin what everybody else think

i chose cant decide cause i saw neither.. :o

that sucks for u :)

I could never choose between the two, because I could never watch just one. If I ever watch Godfather I have to watch them back to back. Even the end of the second leaves me yearning for more, and even though I like GFIII, it takes place so long after it isn't the same, so I can wait to watch that one, but I absolutely have to watch the full 6 hours of the first two when I watch them.
-
both great films, hard to say a favourite...

haha, i feel u, i watched pt. I just a few days earlier and i kinda fiended for pt. II after that and watched it soon as i had time
-
you shouldnt dare to compare these 2 classics
-
part 1
-
I love both of them equally.
-
I love both of them equally.
-
Part II
But it wouldnt of been possible without pt. I
-
as a whole i like part 1 better, but if the whole godfather two was the prequel with Robert Deniro than part 2 all the way but the 1950's stuff wasn't as good as the part 1 parts
so part 1 overall but the scenes with robert deniro in part 2 are the best scenes from the trilogy
-
i luv the DeNiro scenes too, he might evgen be my fav actor ever, but nuthin compares to Brando as Vito Corleone IMO...but that prequel was dope, both the Sicily and the NY scenes...but i love the 50's stuff equally
-
you shouldnt dare to compare these 2 classics
why not? People compare Illmatic & Mecca & The Soul Brother too...and "can't decide" IS an option
-
What do you guys mean by the "'50s stuff"?
-
^^ the part of the story which takes place in the 1950's (as opposed to the part that shows deniro comin up as Vito)

Yeah, okay. I thought you guys were calling the DeNiro stuff the '50s stuff.
-
Marlon Brando gives Pt. I the slight edge over Pt.II
-
2 by a landslide...
When Mike has to do away with Fredo... Man... Great film right there.
-
yeah when i saw that for the first time i was like """shit , that has got to be the deepest thing i've seen cinematically ever in my whole 15 years of life""

That is one of the greatest scenes in the movie.
That scene really expresses what kind of man michael has become. He has lost all of his love and killed even his own brother.
-
yeah, that one's really impressive.the whole sad end impresses me alot
-
I am one of the biggest movies fans you'll ever meet.
But I aint never seen the godfathers.
lol.
-
my cousins best friend is the same way, he's got to be the biggest movie buff that there is, fool even watches foriegn films that he doesn't even understand, but HAS NOT seen the Godfather trilogy or Goodfellas
-
^^ that's kinda sad really...but me i gotta admit the list of movies i ain't seen or not completely includes "Raging Bull", "Taxi Driver", "Clockwork Orange"...some very basic shit too
-

Raging Bull and Taxi Driver are classsics, but Clockwerk is just weird. I don't know what Kubrick was doing because he ruined the book for me. The book was great when I first read it, but then I saw the movie and all that stupid imagery stuck in my head and stays wit hme when I read the book. I can't read it anymore. Good thing I read it first because in this case the book really is way better. For your own sake, don't watch the movie first.
-
I loved the book^^
loved the movie too, thats maybe my favourite kubrick movie.
-
exactly.. like i love movies.. i seen a lot.. but i dont even have any time to catch up...

but that's what many people who read the book to a movie and watched it afterwards say, u always hear that "the movie ain't as good as the book"...Kubrick is weird but ure the first person ever to tell me u disliked that movie

The thing is, I rarely ever say the book was better. I'm not much of a book guy, but I hated that movie. Every thing was done so odd and loony to me. I feel he failed to capture what the story was about, by making it so odd. I like Kubrick, but I hated this movie. I mean the camera angles, music, etc, are all artistic, but the story seems to play second fiddle to that, and the story in this case should be in the forefront. Look at Spartacus, Kubrick did a great job putting the story first there. In Clockwork Orange, to me at least, it's like the pictures come before the words and actions, when I feel the pictures should help express the words and actions, not become entities of their own.
I think people like it because they think they're supposed to. I'm no huge movie buff or anything, but every person that read the book hated the movie. Even the people I know who hate books, loved the book but hated the movie.

^^ ok, i see where ure comin from, but not having seen the movie i can't debate on that of course

Keep in mind, I don't really hate the movie. I just hate the way it takes away from the story that the book told so well. It's still great, cinematically, but I feel it could have been just as good in that regard with no story what so ever. Let me know what you think when you see it.

^^ aight, don't know when that will be but if i remember i'll tell u
