In the early 1900s, the young Vito flees Sicily for America after the local Mafia kills his family. Vito struggles to make a living, legally or illegally, for his wife and growing brood in Little Italy.

A crime boss defends his empire, and flashbacks show how his father got into The Family Business.
It's a fine movie, but I do not understand how people can compare it to the original (much less claim it's better). There's no real protagonist (Vito's too small a character to count, and Michael did all his developing in the first movie and is now just a heartless villain). There's only one scene with any emotional impact (the one between Michael and Kay), and that feels disconnected, like it's been transplanted form a different movie. There's no suspense. There's nothing to get me at all involved in the main story. What's all the fuss about?
