The Godfather: Part 2 (1974)
Personally I like the 1st one of the best out of these three, but I think Part 2 is really good. My main gripe with this one is I wanted to see MORE of Vito's rise to power and less of Michael's day to day dealings. De Niro was my favorite part of this film and I love his last few scenes when he returns to Italy for obvious reasons.
The Godfather: Part 3 (1990)
I liked the concept of Michael trying to finally take the family business legit, but my least favorite part was all the overacting and I feel like they just didn't execute it that great. Especially in one of the final scenes I think you guys know what I mean. Also come on they couldn't pay Duvall a few more million to appear as Hagen again? That character was always great opposite Michael in the first two films. That aspect is lacking greatly in this one. I do think Andy Garcia was great despite the controversy that surrounded his casting.

I agree with all your points, especially about Robert Duvall.. What was the controversy about Andy Garcia?

People thought it was strange to cast a cuban born actor to play Sonny's son, but I think he did fantastic so I could really care less.

Isle of Dogs (2018) - 72/100
It's got what you'd expect from Wes Anderson; great visuals, a couple od good laughs, and a pleasantly half-cartoonish half-realistic feel. The problem is it's not half as clever, fleshed out or subtle as Fantastic Mr. Fox (which I still hold up as the best animated film of all time). The theme of propaganda feels like an afterthought, every single character is a cardboard cutout, and there's generally no emotional involvement. Though, from a purely technical perspective, Isle of Dogs is amazing. As I said, the set and character design is brilliant, the animation itself does it justice, and there's some great music, VA and comedic timing.

R it's very well crafted but it should've been better written.I still wish Wes Anderson would continue making animated films. I just like the look of stopmotion.

Humanity and Paper Balloons (1937)

In a small town in 18th century Japan, the residents are mostly poor, and mixed in with with a few gangsters, wealthy, and samurai. There's a pretty decent plot, but for a movie that's less than an hour and a half long, it seemed like it took a while to get going. I had trouble for a bit grasping the different characters and dynamics, and because of that I think I would like it more with a second viewing. It's a pretty good movie, but at least for this watch, I wanted more.
