it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The characters were fakes, and the story needed some fresh cold water in the face. The movie is just like the comment Rob Johal made, something like "An insult to all Italians everywhere" or something. That guy is hilarious, and fake, just like the movie. "It's an insult to all Italians", "they need real Italians", he screams. Then again, his name is Rob Johal and he is from Canada, and he spells Joe Pesci "Joe Pechsi". The guy is as Italian as the characters he is criticizing, he probably thinks is some kind of mobster or something. That's the exact problem of the movie: the director, the actors and the writer were probably as genuine as our friend here. Like Italians, like movie.

I thought this was an amazing follow up to the first mini-series. You learn some more about the characters. Especially Rose-Marie (played by Kirstie Alley) who had, one of the worst lives in cinema history. Just when I thought her life was horrible enough it just gets worse in this second parter (and it had a chance to flourish). The move did what it was supposed to do, I felt for the character, I was horrified, saddened, angered, and so forth. Kirstie Alley once again proved her acting abilities with taking on the role of the daughter of the Don who goes "crazy". Superb!:::SPOILER::: Also, the idea of the family crumbling and needing to rebuild it after the loss of the Don was done well. You could see the walls coming down around them, their own being quickly killed off. But they regained their power in the end. I thought this was a great follow up to a wonderful first mini-series.

Well, I thought the acting was better, and things didn't seem rushed compared to the first one... but I don't think this is what Mario Puzo was going for. I liked it a lot better then the first movie, but i thought the first movie did not live up to the book. The mafia war was great with all the back stabbing and having the FBI involved. The whole Rose-Marie business was a bit much. They butchered it too much. If you watched the first one, might as well watch this one for the mafia war.

The Last Don II was not written by Mario, or even based on any outline he came up with. I was glad it finally came out on video though, as I collect anything with David Marciano in it.Last Don II served a good purpose. It tied up a lot of loose ends, gave some closure to certain characters, and allowed us a more intimate peek into what happened when time caught up with some of them.It is a good advancement of the story line, tightly plotted, with some good twists and surprises. I enjoyed it, enjoyed the scenery, the sets, the costuming. The sets evoked a mood of unavoidable destiny, of the inflexibility of fate that surrounds some people.Tragedy was inevitable, the triumphs small, the power structure unbreakable. Its rare to see American history brought forward into modern situations the way this film did, and I think it succeeded at that.It seemed to be showing bits of a very small percentage of American culture, and there didn't seem to be much to attach it's message to the average viewer's life, and that seems to be a necessary ingredient for success in films. Still, I enjoyed the story, the way the film was put together, and the acting. I would have preferred someone older in the leading role, but that wasn't the story, was it?Though Mr. Puzo had nothing to do with the film, I still think it was a successful sequel to his work.
