(32 posts)I know I'm in the small, small minority on this one...but I just don't think Godfather II is a very good movie. It's predictable - since so much of it takes place before Godfather I - with very little action and rehashes of the same characters whose arcs will complete in the first film. Maybe if Clemenza had been the foil, as originally intended... Godfather I, yes, wonderful. Godfather II...nah...

Editing to include the first and last of The Matrix movies, which were amazing. The middle two were formulaic and very meh for me.
