I concluded my Godfather Easter Marathon last night around the stroke of midnight. I held off on writing a review because i was tired and I had to take a break from Corleones and killings. I even watched Lincoln on BluRay for the first time since seeing it theaters. And after THAT little break I watched The Godfather Part III for the first time since I vowed to never watch it again unless I had to.

I always say that the Godfather trilogy is one of the most "marathonable" series ever, but when I say that, usually including Part III is optional. Now I'm not going to be one of "those guys" who sits here and shits on the movie…

Considered the lesser of the three,this is still a powerful film.

The Godfather and The Godfather Part II stand alone as arguably the two greatest crime films ever made. Taking the story that one step further with Part III was considered a mistake by some but still delivers a lesson in storytelling that most movies can only dream about. Epic,grandiose and with a complex and sometimes convoluted plot,this tries desperately just like Michael Corleone himself to distance itself from the violence of the first two.
Michael's dream of a business empire and family structure totally free from any criminal activity is torn apart just when he thinks they will go legit. Featuring a poorly made-up Al Pacino in his signature…

Francis Ford Coppola needed the money and I needed another Godfather movie.

Hype and expectations are two factors than most likely will affect your opinion on a movie. So, did I watch The Godfather Part III thinking it would be a masterpiece as the previous two? No. I rather watched it thinking it would be crap because all the negative comments.

So is Part III as any good as the previous two? Hell no. Is it an entertaining and good entry to the gangster genre? Rightly so.

I enjoyed this movie the whole time even if it had a lot of flaws like Sofia Coppola duh, the score that wasnt as epic as the previous two, and there was a…

Considering the first two Godfather films are legendary masterworks in cinema, the third film in the Corleone crime saga is a bit of a disappointment. The film lacks the sheer power and intensity of the first two films. The film is almost a dud, and despite it's legendary title, The Godfather Part III is an average film in the thrilling Corleone crime sage. Al Pacino manages to keep this film afloat, but Sofia Coppola takes it down a notch. This is a real shame because the first two films were so excellent. The only thing that was really entertaining about this film are the mob hits, which are creative and thrilling. The Death of Michael Corleone seems uninspired, and it…

Such is the overbearing shiteness of Godfather Part III that when searching "godfather 3" on Letterboxd, this heap of regurgitated bile is not even on the first page.

Given how utterly, utterly, UTTERLY amazing the first 2 Godfather films are, from the acting, to the sound, to the style and of course the story of family, betrayal, loyalty and tradition, it is almost inconceivable that so little effort can be expended on a final chapter in that tale.

First of all, it sounds dreadful. The soundtrack has a real made-for-TV vibe about it. The acting is not the worst, but if you compare it to the original, it's relatively full of some of blandest most uninspiring performances you're likely to…

I'm gonna be in the minority here, but I feel that The Godfather: Part III is not too far below the quality level of the first two entries in the trilogy. The all-around acting is not at the originals' level, and the story is slightly less interesting and intriguing, but it's still a high-quality film that is loads smarter than most of what is released today.

I think the film is less interesting than the previous two because, let's be honest, watching Michael go total baddy as he navigates through the upper tiers of Mafiosos is pretty engrossing. But in Part III, he's a different man. Rather than going deeper in, he's trying to get out. It's a character arc…
