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.

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.

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.

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.

(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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

I watched the reedited Coda version of this. It's a very good film in its own right. I think it's a bit underappreciated just because it's not the first two. Not nearly as bad as the reputation it sometimes has. Sofia Coppola, on the other hand, is as bad as the reputation for her part. I like her as a director, but she drags down just about every scene she's in here. It's not enough to ruin the movie, though, which is still pretty great.

I went in hoping to find another misunderstood and underrated 3rd entry like Halloween 3 or The Exorcist III, but this trilogy-capper lived up to its bad reputation. On its own in isolation, it's merely mediocre, but compared to the other two Godfather films, it's hot garbage, and Pacino isn't really even playing the same character. I never needed to see Michael Corleone gobbling down candy bars or see Francis Ford Coppola make his daughter who cannot act star in an incest love story.

Well-made film with weak screenplay that seems written to make sure there are as many references to the first two films as possible rather than to extend and build upon the story and characters. Lots of little mistakes that weren't present in the original two films also detract from enjoyment of watching previously captivating characters in a new setting. Coppola still hits good notes and Pacino does well with the thin material, but it feels like a Godfather fanfic more than a true epilogue.

Is it as bad a film as people say? In one sense, no. If this were some generic gangster film with Pacino in the lead, it would be an okay flick you might watch again if you ran into it on TV. But it's not ... it's a sequel to two of the greatest films ever made. So it it fair to tar this film with comparisons to the first two films. Absolutely, because it begs you to compare this to them by echoing them at every opportunity.

Coppola's conclusion to his epic trilogy still never manages too make me care about his characters. The ending is fitting, heavily foreshadowed and poorly executed. The dialogue is much more on the nose, while certain plot elements seemed recycled from Part 1. It's not a bad film, but it is drawn out and personally not that entertaining. Like the whole trilogy, the pink and sepia glow gives the film an outdated and ugly feel, though I suppose the mafia isn't aesthetically pleasing.

Lightning rarely strikes twice. Here, Coppola not only attempts to make it strike a third time, but he does so a decade past his prime. The remarkable thing is, he comes pretty close! The film's composition doesn't quite match the perfection of the first two and although the point has been beaten to death, Sofia Coppola's performance is noticeably lacking. However, Pacino is still at the top of his game, the narrative is compelling, and the ending is an excellent conclusion to the trilogy.

Not a fan of the weird romance, but I have to say that the much-maligned Sofia Coppola really wasn't a bad casting decision in my view. Not sure about Bronson Pinchot as Vincent, though...

As Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) ages, he finds that being the head of the Corleone crime family isn't getting any easier. He wants his family out of the Mafia, but the mob kingpin (Eli Wallach) isn't eager to let one of the most powerful and wealthy families go legit. Making matters even worse is Michael's nephew, Vincent (Andy Garcia). Not only does Vincent want a piece of the Corleone family's criminal empire, but he also wants Michael's daughter, Mary (Sofia Coppola).

The widely-debated third part of the Corleone saga is quite good when it's good, but pretty uninspiring when it isn't. When it sticks to Michael's inner turmoil and Vincent's gradual assumption of power, it's compelling, with Pacino and Andy Garcia in solid form. And the cinematography, especially the final shot, is strong. But the whole Vatican power struggle subplot is badly written and the second half tends to drag. Sofia Coppola is weak, though not quite as terrible as her reputation.
