Movie Reviews of The Last Don II
Movie Review: mobsters movies
Summary: 4 Stars
a must have one of the best mario puzos story he never wrote a bad story just buy it with trustMovie Review: Fine entertainment--not quite up to Part 1
Summary: 3 Stars
I really enjoyed "The Last Don" (Part 1). Although it wasn't quite the masterpiece that "The Godfather" was, I thought it was more true-to-life than the great classic. "The Last Don" saga deals with the modern mafia, and the efforts of the head of the Clericuzio family to extricate his family from crime, and enter the legitimate world with his empire's wealth intact.Part 2 picks up exactly where Part 1 ends. In my opinion Part 2 is quite watchable, and constitutes good entertainment. It is not quite up to Part 1. Certain segments of it seem over-acted and perhaps overly simplistic--it lacked the twists and surprises that made Part 1 such a delight. Most of the time I felt that I knew exactly where Part 2 was taking us.
Notwithstanding my criticisms, this is a very entertaining sequel. Its portrayal of Hollywood is very funny, and there are certain components of the film that I frankly am surprised did not get someone sued. Spoiler omitted here, but if you watch Part 2 you will most surely know exactly what I mean.
I enjoyed it.
Movie Review: Not a bad follow-up
Summary: 3 Stars
First let me say to the guy that said Mario must have turned in his grave, he was alive and involved with this production when it was filmed.You should research before making a fool commment and then following it by a stab at mentally handicapped people, you must be quite the human being!Anyway, like was said this picks up where "The Last Don" left off. Not bad for Television and if you are a fan of Mob-style movies, this is a great endcap to the Mario Puzo legacy. I always thought Joe Mantenga stole the show in "The Last Don" and it's great to have him reprise his role again although the focus is mainly on the younger generation. This may not be "The Sopranos" but very entertaining none the less.
Movie Review: Part one was great, this one...
Summary: 3 Stars
The main problem with this movie is the music. They have put loud music on top of the dialogues, so often it is impossible to understand what the actors are saying!!!
The plot is ok, although you do not understand why Giorgio would want to leave the job of Don to Crocefisso, and not take it for himself.
Next it is not really clear why Crocefisso came back from Paris at all. If I understood it correctly, at the beginning of the movie Don Clericuzio only said that he missed him. Not that he wanted him back. But, again the music was covering the dialogues, and so I migh have misunderstood.
Movie Review: Worthy
Summary: 3 Stars
Kept in suspense every minute. Danny Aiello finally displays his finer talent as the Don. Has the required skill. Kirsty Alley also pulls thru in anguish, pain and doubt toward the Don, the Clericuzio. Jason Gedrick, innocent from the start, a given for the future. Serious family business headed toward the flame. Ruthless to the point, perhaps wiser.
Oops, I was talking about the The First Don, I mean The Last Don 1
