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 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…

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 Matt Singer ★★★½ 2

Not a bad movie, or even a bad sequel, just not a great one. The most interesting thing it has going for it is the unusual combo of Coppola’s high-minded themes and artistic references (including a ton of opera at the climax) with some graphic setpieces that could have come out of a trashy exploitation flick. Hums along pretty well for a while, then does sort of fall apart by the end, including a last scene so abrupt and jarring it feels like Coppola couldn’t stand to spend even one more second with this character and finally just threw up his hands and said “Enough! The end!”

Me before watching this: all right I'm gonna follow this and understand what's is going on
Also me 5 minutes in: what the fuck is happenig
Review by Lauta ★★★★★

Las calles de Sicilia, los recuerdos imborrables, ESA confesión, y esas puertas que se cierran constantemente. La simbiosis entre el ritual artístico/religioso y el ritual mafioso es inigualable.
No existía mejor manera de cerrar una trilogía, estoy seguro. Que maestro es Francis Ford y que regalo le hizo a la humanidad.

não sei se já existe, mas quero muito ver um filme em que o al pacino interpreta o pai do robert downey jr
Review by Ana Elisa ★★★★½

La última escena con Sofía Coppola, increíble!!!
En toda la película lucía hermosa y qué mirada tan seductora tiene. Stunning.
Review by Lorenzo ★★★★

Coda Cut
Nothing revolutionary here. A little more streamlined and clear in its storytelling, but there are still the two big things that nothing can fix. And that's the Vatican stuff still being way too oblique and hard to grasp, as well as the Sofia/Cousin Love subplot that is just way too dumb and also poorly executed to deal with. But even still, there's a lot to love here and by the time Pacino is howling to the Gods that finally delivered his karmic justice on those Opera steps, the movie earns its beleaguered place in the Godfather canon.

Hey look an utterly and garbage cash grab with no meaning.

this film exists.
Review by Zach Armstrong ★★★★½

Al Pacino put on a fantastic final cap on the trilogy. Francis Ford Coppola made a great ending to the Godfather series but he could have taken it even farther. Every scene with Diane Keaton and Al Pacino are just electrifying.
Review by Bradley Babendir ★★★★★ 1

maybe the best third movie in a trilogy ever made. also maybe the biggest gulf between it and its predecessors. but it’s marvelous!
Review by tamara ★★ 1

i’m sorry but this was so fucking boring. the plot? i didn’t know what was happening half the time. the incest? unnecessary.
this literally took me 3 and a half hours to finish because i was getting distracted by practically EVERYTHING because i didn’t want to finish it. the ending was pretty sad though but i really don’t think this film should’ve been made.
Review by tamara

i’m only halfway through so far but WHY IS THERE AN INCEST STORYLINE AND WHY DID NO ONE PREPARE ME FOR THIS
