Would you say it’s better than the second movie or is the second movie better?

I like this one better. There is a better cast of characters

Second one is better but not by much.

Also who hasn’t seen this movie?

First is better, it’s a complete story.

Part 2 is a very good follow-up but it’s rather bloated at 3.5 hours and really just continues the trajectory of Pacino’s character, there are no interesting new turns. Also, it’s interspersed with flashbacks of his father, played by De Niro, which are interesting but slow things down even more. It’s absolutely worth seeing if you enjoyed the first.

Part 3 is definitely worth watching if you enjoyed the other two, but be sure to watch the original version, not the terrible new ‘Coda’ edit.
