If you think the first one should have been split up into two movies Part Two is going to annoy the shite out of you.
That has always been the single reason I have never considered it to be in the same league as the first one(don't get me wrong it is good but everyone saying it is better than the first one is sniffing glue). The young Vito chunk of the movie should have been one movie and the current Michael chunk of the movie should have been another movie. It has never made any sense to me why they mish-mashed both storylines into one movie.

They're definitely in the same league, but I prefer part 1 as well.
But to your point, I actually kind of agree. The book is actually a back and forth timeline between the "current" stuff from part 1 and the flashback from part 2. The Vegas stuff is not in the book at all. I think the current timeline of part 2 is the weakest part of the first two films (still love it though).

The Godfather Trilogy: 1901–1980 shows all three movies in one sitting and is set in chronological order.
