Michael Corleone turned into Frank Slade.

Rating: 4/10 (12 April 2008)

Let me start off by saying this: I think most movies are underrated on IMDb. Maybe it's just the stuff I like; Italian horror, American slashers, giallos of the 1970's, and classic westerns. But it seems like a lot of my favorites get slammed on here.
I love "The Godfather" and "The Godfather Part 2," but part 3 is really something to behold...
As many times as I've watched this film, I can't get over the fact that Michael Corleone has disappeared. In fact, he morphed into a mix between himself and Lt. Colonel Frank Slade from "Scent of a Woman." I kept waiting for him to stand up and say 'HOO-AHH!'... Yes, I think Pacino overacted this one. As did almost everyone in "The Godfather Part 3." Joe Mantegna? I liked him better in that movie about the chess-player kid. He is about as believable as a gangster as Jessica Tandy would be. Eli Wallach? Excellent in "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly." But as an aging mafioso? Not good.
This movie is cheeseball. It is as overacted as anything out there. The storyline is ridiculous: a mobster trying to go straight with legitimate business in unison with the Vatican. Come on now... They should have let "The Godfather" series have a solid ending with Part 2. Part 3 is more funny than anything else.
4 out of 10, kids.
