The problem with a film that is both a sequel and prequel is that you really really need to have watched the first Godfather film. Or else you will be really lost.
The sequel part follows Michael Corleone, Vito's son and the new Godfather, as he moves his operation from New York to Nevada. He has many enemies and his marriage is falling apart. He goes with his so-called associate to Cuba, before the revolution hits, but is wary he is trying to assassinate him.
The prequel part follows the original Godfather, Vito, as he grows up in Italy in the early twentieth century and later escapes to America. He is a honest, hard-working man that slowly changes into the Godfather that we see in the first movie. Vito is played by Robert de Niro, who actually lived in Sicily to learn the correct dialect. That is some real dedication right there.
A lot of the cinematography is very dark, and the colors are mostly brown. Brown scenery, brown costumes, brown everything. It's like the sepia filter on instagram. They did go a little overboard on it. The acting was really good, though. So I will give it an 8/10.
