Godfather II is a very, very different film from the first. Calling it more of the same......is it because some of the same characters are in it?

The idea behind Godfather was Michael's transformation from a good guy to a cold-hearted son of a bitch. Somehow, even though at the end of the first Godfather he is clearly presented as the latter, in the second movie they try to reverse it just show that transformation again. Guess what, it doesn't fucking work. There are literally no other deeper ideas in the story besides that. The Vito's story, although it's enjoyable to watch, is very very short, adds nothing to the main story and let's face it, it's not very original.
