thoughts on part 2: i again had to read a synopsis of the film to completely understand what was going on and who was who. the characters like in the first were not very strong except for the more main ones. i thought maybe again this was done on purpose to get the message across that soldiers and captains were expendable resources to the family. the end of the movie held a lot of ironies toward some events in the first as well as some parallels. this movie too was hard to get into and very hard to follow with its parallel storyline. i felt that the movie simply didnt need the vito storyline involved. i dont feel it added but rather took away from the telling of michael's reign of the family. however, the ending scene portrays just how much and how far michael has come from when we were first introduced to him. he seems to have become a fallen hero. in watching these two movies i saw many similarities between these two movies (part 1 and part 2) that were emulated in the HBO series "The Sopranos." anyway, maybe the book is better?
