The Godfather: Part III

1990
Drama, Crime
2h 42m
In this third film in the epic Corleone trilogy, Al Pacino reprises the role of powerful family leader Michael Corleone. Now in his 60's, Michael is dominated by two passions: freeing his family from crime and finding a suitable successor. That successor could be fiery Vincent (Garcia)... but he may also be the spark that turns Michael's hope of business legitimacy into an inferno of mob violence.

OK, I get that this isn't the movie that everyone (including the filmmakers) hoped it would be - you have to qualify it a dozen ways before you can even start talking about it - but at the end of the day, it's a good movie with glimmers of the old Godfather greatness throughout. And seriously, folks, Sofia's not THAT bad.

Cartoon Al Pacino has absorbed the 70s powerhouse. Sofia constantly looks like she's going to bust out an Elvis impression. Joe Mantegna stretches for his Baby's Day Out role. Andy Garcia was a thing. Just when I thought I was out... they pull me back in.

Definetely not as bad as I've heard. I avoided this for a long time but I'm glad I saw how it ended. The climax is incredible and rivals the previous 2 films. My main complaint, like everyone else, is Sofia fucking Coppola. What are you doing in this movie? That chick can not act to save her life and (spoiler) when she dies it's actually kind of satisfying. Just when I thought I was out... they pull me back in.

Certainly not as good as the first two, but how did it ever have a chance? It's still a fine film, and Pacino once again satisfies completely with a wonderful performance. It's worth the length of the film just to watch the man act. A decent end to the best trilogy in film history. Really needs Sofia Coppola not to be in it though.

Bad acting galore. It's easy to trash Sofia Coppola, but Andy Garcias psycho, that in one scene turns ice cold Godfather, is ridiculous. The biggest problem though, is the Michael Corleone character, morphed into a Pacino special. It's impossible to believe that it's the same character we left in Godfather 2. The movie goes bigger and more operatic, and thus the "buying out the catholics" plot is megalomaniac and over-the-top. Not as boring as part II, though, but by all means a poorer film.

Why do we need to see Michael slump in a chair some indeterminate amount of years into the future? Is that Coppola's idea of closure? This is the final inexplicable moment in a film full of them. Why does this movie exist? Michael Corleone is damned, this was made clear - with more subtlety, sadder resonance, and good acting - sixteen years before The Godfather pt III was ever released.

A departure from the spirit of the first film, but that's because it's 20 years later and times have changed. While the film's story is a little more unnecessary than that of Part II's, it's interesting to watch Michael Corleone struggle with his inner demons instead of unleashing them. Pacino gives his most powerful performance of the trilogy.

Really disappointing considering what the first two were, but putting that aside, The Godfather III is not a bad film, but it is in no way comparable to the first two. It is still the Godfather, and I can't really put my finger on why it is so inferior to the first two, I'm not really going anywhere with this review, and I guess i'm just thinking and typing simultaneously, but all i can say is that i recommend this, but be prepared to be disappointed.

There could have certainly been a better end to the trilogy, but Part III still holds up well only fading slightly when compared to the first two. Coppola has done yet another good job at directing the often complex scenes and with some good acting and plot twists which have come to be expected in any Godfather film, it provides an entertaining if rather drawn out viewing.

Has 'did it for the money' written all over it. Considering the master class of the first two, the only thing I like about Part III is the line 'Everytime I try to get out, they pull me back in'.

Still a very good sequel, only the performance of Coppola's daughter Sophia as Corleone's daughter is not really good, that's why I don't give it a 90. It's better that she is following into her father's footsteps now and makes movies instead of being an actor in movies.

The only reason this doesn't rank lower is because the ending is a satisfactory conclusion to the trilogy. Despite how truly abysmal some of the acting is there are still some rather powerful scenes in the movie. It was a big mistake not getting Robert Duvall back though to reprise his role. The cast felt a little "light" without some of the old cast aside from Al Pacino.

Very underrated movie! Great story (again), beautifully written. Unfortunately, for me most of the charm of the first two Godfathers came from Al Pacino's Michael Corleone, I loved this silent, unpredictable and seemingly ruthless character. The story, however, required a character change, which I think was good but still disappointing. The only criticism I really have is Sofia Coppola's acting - compared to Andy Garcia and Al Pacino its just "bad". Without Godfather I and II it would be classic

A solid movie that is unfairly maligned due to its predecessors, either of which could easily be considered the greatest film of all time. The only real problem is the acting is pretty sub-par by almost all involved, especially the atrocious performance by Sofia Coppola. And her character is given way too much story. That said, it's still a good movie. It's well made and provides a fitting and satisfying end for the trilogy.

The Godfather: Part III had the impossible task of trying to recapture the quality of it's predecessors. This is by no means a bad film, it's just an unworthy sequel that feels disconnected from the tradition of the saga. Al Pacino somewhat feels like a different character and Robert Duvall in particular is sorely missed. The cast cannot live with the quality of their predecessors and whilst Andy Garcia is tolerable, Sofia Coppola is truly woeful. This is nothing more than an echo of nostalgia.

Now let me just say, besides Pacino and Garcia, this movie had few redeeming qualities in terms of acting. Couple that with a good story, as long as you don't compare it to the first two, and it stands out as the weakest link. Yet, it is a terrific ending to the trilogy and fits nicely with the other two.

Effectively this feels like The Godfather: Part IV. There is too much of a disconnect from the first two films and it feels 'off' throughout. The most obvious example is the lack of Duvall's Hagan. Just a casual remark that he died to explain his absence and Hamilton fails to fill the gap. Is Sofia C's acting the worst ever in an Best Picture nominated film? It's up there. But all that aside, which is a lot, it still concludes the trilogy fairly well and there are a number of worthwhile scenes.

(Coda Edit) I appreciate this version ditched the III and adds Coda: it treats the events of the first two films as if they were myth, long since faded from waking memory, transcending into fable. The film’s choices in shots, acting technique, cadence, seem to want to repel the style of these tall tales - but like Michael, the more the film pushes them away, the more they haunt the living. It’s sometimes obtuse but the enterity of the opera sequence here is some of Coppola’s most poetic work.

Plus side, Pacino and Keaton finally get to relax a bit and actually show a little emotion and life. That's about it: almost nothing works and it all seems just a bit off and hopeless. Sofia isn't really the issue she's been made out to be: it's the script that's the problem, and maybe also that people couldn't accept Garcia going for her. Duvall's absence hurts. Released three months after GOODFELLAS: Coppola is only three years older than Scorsese, but there's a generation of difference here.

Coppola never has shown much faith in the gangster genre per se, although his forays into it have always been at their best when most generic (e.g., the two intruders in Andy Garcia's apartment). To the contrary, he always felt he had to didacticize the connections between gangsterism and capitalism, which astute observers such as Robert Warshow saw long before Coppola came along to clarify.

Man, this added nothing to the Godfather story. NOTHING. Given the ending of Part II, this film had so much potential, yet evidently Coppola spent all his energy trying to promote his own daughter's acting career and with the time left over pulled some unsatisfying, forgettabe, completely over-the top story out of his ass. I guess by no means is it a horrible movie, but honest to god it should never have been made in this first place.

A decent mob movie capped with a very cool climactic sequence at the opera, although it's massively overshadowed by its two predecessors, not to mention Goodfellas the same year. Sofia Coppola's performance is poor, but it's a little disingenuous to lay all the movie's shortcomings at her feet as some people seem to; it has problems on its own.

This takes quite a step down from the earlier entries in the trilogy. While the music, the sets, and the lighting all hearken back to the original films, this film feels tired and overwrought for extended periods. The film suffers primarily from being overwritten--the too obvious and many references to guilt and redemption and an early scene between Pacino and Keaton being the prime offenders. It is nice how the film comes full circle, both reminding and differentiating from the early years.
