Ok, to keep us on the movie path. I decided to pull some great sequels from my memory to discuss what we think is the BEST MOVIE SEQUEL from this list. Now I know that some of you may have other sequels that you think are better than all on the list, but lets just let this go for the time being. Pick the film that you think is the WEAKEST LINK from the ones provided and when we finish we can discuss if anyone has any that could maybe beat our winner here.
Now to Round 2 to determine the BEST MOVIE SEQUEL from the films listed.
You are going to pick the film that you think is the "Weakest Link" after 2 days I remove the two (2) movie with the most votes. We will then move on to ROUND 3.
THE GODFATHER, PART II (1974)

-Well first off it's a 6-hour movie. Oh, it's "only" three and a half hours? Well it feels like 6 hours.
-I really like the prequel segments, but there's not enough of it. I think the prequel segments take up only about 40 minutes, while the present-day segments take up the other five hours and twenty minutes (I mean two hours and forty minutes). I wish the movie was more balanced. Every time I start to get invested in the prequel segments, we have to go back to the present so Michael can have a boring conversation with the senator, or a boring conversation with Connie and her new husband, or a boring conversation with Frank Pentangeli, or a boring conversation with Hyman Roth, or a boring conversation with Fredo. THE WHOLE MOVIE IS JUST BORING CONVERSATIONS!!!
-I said I like the prequel segments but there should've been more. Like, how did Vito become so powerful? Okay, he kills Don Fanucci so that's how he got power. How much power? Well he's so powerful that he could....umm....convince a landlord to let a widow stay in her apartment? That's it? Mind you, the scene of the landlord stopping by and apologizing is one of my favorite scenes in either movie (I don't acknowledge Godfather 3). But that's it? Why not have a scene that shows actual mafia-stuff? They show a young Tessio and young Clemenza (great casting there by the way, as they do look like younger versions of Vigoda and Castellano). But why not show how Vito puts them in charge of certain territories and what they do? No, all we get is him and Clemenza stealing a freaking rug. How exciting. And how was there not a scene of a young Sonny finding a young Tom Hagen in the street? You don't even have to say it. Just show young Sonny coming across a lone kid in the street. People would get it.
-Did I mention how boring MIchael is and how I don't understand how anyone can give a fuck about his character in this movie? The first movie? Yeah, he's interesting. Here? Just soooooooooo boring.
"That's the way Coppola wanted it."
WELL IT AIN'T THE WAY I WANTED IT! I CAN EDIT THIS MOVIE DOWN TO TWO AND A HALF HOURS! I CAN HANDLE IT! I'M SMAWT!!!

"...I changed by not changing at all..."
I stand by what I wrote with more passion and conviction than anything I've ever written on this message board.
Well except that The Fixer is the cheesiest rock song ever written.

Obviously you can tell that I love The Godfather. Even though I'm speaking ill of GF2, I wouldn't know all the characters (I'm a big Willie Cicci guy) and the plot if I haven't seen it so many times. But I've always nit-picked at it. My father, who is huge fan (isn't everybody's father?), loves the book and always told me I'd love the book too, due to my overall liking of The Godfather, but my complaining about all of Michael's boring conversations in GF2. I actually have a beat-up copy that I got a thrift store, but haven't gotten around to reading it.

Just happy to see someone whom also wants Mad Max 2 to go so badly.
Certainly know it won't make the finals, but should have survived this round.
