It ties it all together

Rating: 7/10 (6 August 2010)

The Godfather parts 1 and 2 are complete works of art. They have originality, brilliant acting and writing. The third may not be amazing, but it certainly was good, maybe even great. As usual, Pacino gives a great performance, Andy Garcia is a good touch to give the story a darker edge then it already has, and the directing by Cappola is stunning, beautiful images and cinematography. At times the writing seems strained, the dialogue, awkward to hear, and some of the characters stereotypical, where as the first two made them original characteristics. Now lets get to the part we have all been waiting for, Sophia Cappola. We all are not watching the film to see her, but I tell you, I would watch her a thousand times a day instead of Winona Ryder. Cappola isn't very good at acting, her directing is far better, however that works out, but she is at times watchable, maybe even humorous to see force out the lines. I'm sorry Sophie but I'm sure you've heard it all a thousand times, never the less, don't let her get in the way of seeing this picture. It's interesting, smart, and hey, it's the end, you can't close the book before reading that last chapter right? In my opinion, it's not the best of the three, but a fitting end to a great saga.
