I was also only giving a possible reason why people like GF1 and the Vito part in GF2, but don't like the new Michael stuff in GF2 or 3. Seems like a common denominator to me.

The Vito scenes in GF2 are so good that it took away from the Michael story in GF2. Michael is struggling to save the Corleone family, he almost got killed in his own home, his marriage is falling apart, his enemies are out to get him etc etc. All the Vito stuff takes away attention from the great personal + business struggle that Michael is going through. He is fighting to survive here.

Totally agree. Personally I like GF2 better because of the Michael part, only because I read the book and knew the Vito part already.
