THE GODFATHER CODA: THE DEATH OF MICHAEL CORLEONE
Some people have never seen “The Godfather Part III” despite their love for Sofia Coppola, whose career behind the camera emerged from the ashes of her supposedly amateurish performance as Michael Corleone’s doomed teenager daughter in her father’s trilogy-capping epic. This writer had never seen “The Godfather Part III” because of my love for Sofia Coppola.
Born in 1984 and raised to think of the “Lost in Translation” director as more of an auteur than an actress, I’ve been all the way in on the likes of “Somewhere” and “Marie Antoinette” from the moment Coppola’s movies came into my life, and it always seemed unnecessary — even rude — to dig through…

There should be a GODFATHER PART IV but BACK TO THE FUTURE II style with old Vincent going back in time to help young Vincent during the events of GODFATHER PART II.
Review by Rida ★★ 22

Watching The Godfather: Part III is painful, all the more so because despite the fact that it's so mediocre, there are enough tantalizing glimpses of greatness in it that I can't help but be all the more disappointed with the film.
The look of the film is just right. It's not quite as dark as the previous two installments, but it's just as rich in detail and color. And the music score is still there, accompanied by several familiar faces, both of which made me feel, however momentarily, that I was indeed watching the third part of one of the greatest American epics ever made.
There are several moments of poignancy, most of which come when the new cast is…

Review by BeHaind ★★★ 21

Gesehen in Coppolas neuer Coda-Schnittfassung, die nochmal klar deutlich macht, dass „Der Pate 3“ viel tiefgreifendere Probleme hat, als die Anordnung der Szenen - daran ändern auch noch so viele Namensänderungen und Schnitte nichts. Der neue Anfang ist zudem der deutlich schwächere Einstieg, die neue, finale Einstellung ist überhastet abgeschnitten und kann so nicht nachwirken. Viel Sinn ergibt das Vorhaben dieser 12 Minuten kürzeren Fassung also nicht, mit einer Ausnahme: Sofia Coppolas Szenen wurden stark gekürzt. Immerhin etwas.
Review by josh lewis ★★★★ 4

look, i won't argue that there's a lot going on here the previous ones didn't already do better with regard to violent corruption of capitalism, the sins of the father punishing the rest of the family, mob life as shakespearen tragedy, etc. but idk coppola still has the goods behind the camera (backroom discussions of business, family, death and regret in willis' browns and shadows is simply what cinema is), adding international banks and the pope introduces a not uninteresting thread about money vs. god and i think michael (now a sad, aging diabetic who just wants the best for his kids) going full circle into an old, “respectable” don filled with regret completes the cycle of irreparable pain these…

Mario Puzo's The Godfather, Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone – Ghost Protocol or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance): The Whole Bloody Affair (Director's Cut) & Knuckles (2020 film)
Review by Logan Kenny ★★★★★ 6

a crisis of conscience. nothing he does or says can change the sins of his past, and nothing can mute the sounds of the screams when they catch up to him. a lifetime of capital over compassion leaves him dead with nothing to love as he fades and the bitter pain of watching even the innocents in your life die in front of him. in the end, you fuck over everyone, in the end, pain is all that’s left. the greatest tragedy of a generation ends with a bang, a scream and a death that doesn’t mean anything anymore. epic and tragic in ways only true poets could convey, and makes you feel in your heart and soul by the…

Review by tres321 ★★★½

This review is for the Coda edition. Frankly, I don't remember the theatrical edition well enough to give a proper A/B comparison, but I will say I enjoyed watching this version. Sophia still can't act her way out of a paper bag, but she doesn't have too many lines, fortunately. I liked how it followed real history somewhat. I also liked the new ending and understand why the subtitle is "The Death of Michael Corleone."
Review by Marcelino Nobrega ★★★★★

O filme é uma obra-prima. Tudo nele brilha: fotografia, edição, trilha sonora! Um Vaticano cheio de segredos escabrosos, uma Sicília primitiva e mágica e uma Nova York mafiosa e violenta são cenários perfeitos para o épico mafioso. Tecnicamente é perfeito! O roteiro é fantástico, máfia mais ópera mais Shakesperare é cinema no seu nível máximo. Sofia Coppola realmente é sofrível como atriz, mas Al Pacino, Talia Shire, Eli Wallach e Andy Garcia dão verdadeiros shows de interpretação.

Maybe someone could explain why this is actually good but I don’t think it was worth it
Review by chloabrielle ★★★★

I watched the new version of this movie that came out last year, and I really liked the new ending. Hated the weird incest stuff tho.
Review by jakekluge ★★½

Woof. That ending. Yowza.
Review by kibblesandfritz ★★★½

Coda. Parts 1 and 2 may represent the apotheosis of cinema, but this one may have inspired the George Michael/maebe plot line in Arrested Development. So there’s that.
Review by Justin Turner ★★★½

The Godfather: Part III always gets a bad rap simply because it's inferior to the previous two entries of the trilogy, but it's far from a bad film.
It's a story centering on Don Michael Corleone's demise, as he is near retirement and looks to rekindle from his ex-wife Kay and their children. It's probably the slowest-paced film in the trilogy, but a lot of it is done with intention, as a lot of it is contributed to reflection. Al Pacino is terrific here, as always.
Andy Garcia as Vincent Corleone, I thought, was a great addition, but I struggle to say the same with Sofia Coppola's Mary. Their cousin-incest relationship, I could have done without, especially with how they…
Review by sSelene26 ★★★★

fue muy lenta y no tuvo la misma emoción ni ese intereses que generaban las otras dos, no me gustaron algunas actuaciones
Review by Palomits ★★★

Si algo caracteriza a esta película es el hecho de ser necesaria para lograr una buena despedida.
Si que es cierto que no tiene tanta fuerza como los anteriores, destacan sobre todo los últimos minutos de la cinta
Review by Tafiori ★★★ 3

for the first hour / hour and a half i enjoyed the movie, then it starts to be really flat and makes you completely divert your attention; i dont think its a worthy conclusion of the trilogy
Review by yasmim ★★★

já começou errado quando não seguiu o mesmo conceito dos outros pôsteres,o mais fraquinho da trilogia mas é de boa de assistir até.
