No disrespect to The Godfather Part II, because it's a great movie, but the original one was better.

Parts of Godfather 2 are better than the original. The scene where Michael drives to Hyman Roth's house in Miami is amazingly tense and ominous even though, obviously, nothing is gonna happen. Everything that happens in Cuba is amazing, and the "YOU BROKE MY HEART" scene is probably the best moment in the franchise.

But as a whole it isn't better than the original. The problem is that the fact it's two separate but closely-linked movies sandwiched together. But I will say that if it had been entirely the De Niro's segments it would be clearly the better of the two.

Maybe I'm just prejudiced because my favorite characters, Brando's Vito and Clemenza, were only in the original (and I agree with Clemenza's actor that the original plan of making Clemenza the character who goes to the Feds would've made no sense for the character).

Frank Pentangeli is the best godfather character therefor GF2 > GF1

Gf3 is not underrated at all its just hot garbage all around.

Clemenza is totally better than Pentangeli.
