Too many flaws to count

Rating: 1/10 (24 May 2020)

This film has absolutely no right to be considered "underrated" "misunderstood" or "a masterpiece".
The plot is fine in most respects, but everything from the direction, scripting and especially the casting could not be worse. Too many compromises to list pose more questions than answers from the conclusion of this "trilogy".
Considering the extremely high level of excellence set by the Godfather and Part II, this movie just does measure up, despite the many retro refrences meant to legitimize it.
Out of respect to the true masterpieces that precede, it would be best to not watch this film or even consider it as part of the legacy.
