Difficult question:jbhmm:

One has tighter editing, very efficient storytelling every shot builds the story perfectly.

Part Two is an epic and has more beautiful cinematography. The scenes of young vito escaping to new york as a child then becoming a man, getting drawn into crime in little italy is some of the best filmmaking ever. Also love the whole Cuba angle, with Fidel Castro's Revolution getting in the way of their business. However, the editing in part two is less tight, a lot could have been left out. The end of Godfather Part 2 is almost too dark, it gets depressing watching Michael grow cold hearted and ending the movie either killing or growing apart from everyone.

There is a great video essay about this on youtube, I will try to find it. After Apollonia dies the look in his eyes changed forever.
