I'm against this sequel. The first is such a masterpiece that they can never replicate it, but only take away from it's legacy with a follow-up. Although, I did eat my words that I didn't think the first would be as successful as it was so maybe I'll be proved wrong again.
Phoenix and Gaga this is gonna be great, I do agree sequels are often worse than the original, but hey The Godfather II was also better than the first lol.
