Just as good, if not better

Earlier this year, I had decided I had lived enough of my life not to see the Godfather trilogy (since I was not even a thought when they first came out!) so over the span of a month I watched all three. They are all AWESOME films. And I have to say, the third one is the best. It finished the movies up and gave a much closer look into what Michael (AL Pacino) was thinking.

Yes the third is very different from the first two but that is how it should be. Unlike the first two Michael is trying to truly come clean. The one thing that hurt this movie was the weak sub-plot about the Vatican funds etc. They didn't really explain it well enough and so me as the viewer could care less about what was happening and it was a big part of the movie.

The biggest part of the movie though is definintly the view on the family, just as the first two were. The family evolved in each and every movie. I wish they would make a fourth one with Vincent as the new Don. But sadly that wont ever be happening. Don't just see this movie. See the entire trilogy, even if you have seen it before. And don't expect it to be just like the first to, because it is not, a different message is being conveyed in the third one. The message of forgivness and repentance and how the evils of the past come back to haunt you.
