I want my 170 minutes back

Rating: 1/10 (27 August 2006)

I just rented this from Netflix even though I heard it was a bad film and it even has a bad rating from Netflix (3 stars). I thought the first two Godfathers should be in the list of best films ever so I figured it was about time to see the wrap up. I didn't expect to see one of the worst movies ever, produced and written by the same people too. This movie was so overacted and had so many funny lines that I started laughing about 1/3 into the movie. Am I supposed to get all teary eyed because two first cousins can't fall in love? And what made me laugh the loudest was when Pacino keeps saying over and over that's "it's dangerous." Incest is not dangerous, it creates offspring with screwed up genes. Go see "Deliverance" which came out when the first Godfather did to see what happens when cousins marry. And the number of plot points that didn't make sense are too numerous to mention. I wondered if they wrote this movie while drunk.
Perhaps if they didn't wait 16 years after the Godfather II to make this film they might have continued the inspiration. I rated this 1 star on Netflix too.
