in godfather part 2 why is fredo passed over
- Thread starter SkillClash
- Start date
It was like a Holy Trinity with the three sons
Sonny was the hot head with strength, Michael was the brains and tactician, and Fredo was the stool pigeon
Fredo being passed over was Pops decision. Michael had to be next in line after Sonny got merked

Fredo wasn't built for that life and showed it many times. When they hit Vito he dropped the pistol and let his Pops catch 5 slugs, he should've never been allowed to watch Vito's back. Like I said before I don't think Mike should've killed him but how the fukk did he not realize Roth and Johnny Ola were only using him? He didn't have to do a damn thing but sit back while Mike took care of him, but that wasn't enough.
3 is a good movie but not better than the first two. Many people have problem with Michael's daughter (Actress) in this movie because she can't act for shyt in this movie. Some scenes gonna have you
and 
at the same time....you will see what I'm talking about.
On bluray they areI'm watching all three movies for the first time now rented the bluray restoration

Ahh Fredo. The guy you
at, but feel 
about at the same time.
3 is better than 2.
It's a more complete story, and arc for Michael and the family. Part II loses a lot of points for me because Clemenza wasn't there, and yet they still continued the story arc with Frank Pentangeli. Pentangeli, a character never seen before, is supposed to be this loyalists, but was nowhere to be found in the first. It would have meant more if it were Clemenza, but they couldn't get him back. Plus I don't like the Vito flashbacks, and feel it interrupts the more interesting story.

Because FREDO was p*ssy and as in REAL life...p*ssy gets no respect and gets no promotion to handle REAL things. He had influenza or something when he was a child (Godfather 2) and was always seen as a weak being. The world has no room for weakness and if you are weak you will be passed over or EATEN by the wolves of this world. Michael wasn't weak like Fredo that's why he became Godfather.

MIami Beach on the check-in.
crazy to think every movie john cazale (fredo) was in (5 movies before he died of cancer) were nominated for best picture.
imagine you're a dad. You built the most successful business n the face of the earth from the ground up.
You got four heirs. You can't divide it up. it has to go to only one.
Two of them are VIRTUALLY PERFECT. But one, you both know his place is to be the man behind the man, and that's fine. One of them... simply doesn't want it.
The Third One really is as smart as the other two, but he can't control his temper. He's like the manliest of men. You know he'll burn the entire thing down if he thinks the mice don't like warm climates.
The last one isn't smart, isn't brave, has no heart, has no willpower. His only real redeeming quality is that he's your son.
You're Vito Corleone.
What the fukk would YOU do?

Never in my entire life have i heard anyone state the godfather part 3 is better than part 2. Thats like saying T3 was better than T2...or Alien 3 was better than Aliens.
