Your right...the more powerful stuff at least to me is in Part II. However, the scene where Michael finally assumes the roll of boss in the office is quitepowerful. But if you are invested in the story of the Godfather theres no denying the power of this moment

I honestly forgot that scene. That one and when Michael calls his son in from fishing with Fredo are 2 extremely powerful scenes.

that pic is the last scene of the movie , right after he lies to kate bought the murders, and after the first big push micheal made as a don to keep his familyat the top. idk maybe its just powerful to me.
