Definitely not as good as Godfather 1 and 2 but still a great mafia film and a great conclusion

The Godfather and The Godfather Part II are the two greatest mafia epics ever! Both had great acting, a great storyline, great characters, an all star cast and were just overall great movies.Sixteen years after Godfather 2, Godfather 3 was released.This one was not as well received as the first two but was still nominated for Best Picture of 1990 academy awards.However Goodfellas came out that same year and it was much much better than Godfather 3.Both films lost to Dances With Wolves.I have not seen that film.Godfather III isn't as good as the first two because it is not as interesting and the acting of Sofia Coppola is not very good.However Al Pacino as usual steals the show.He is in fact an excellent actor.Most of the cast of the first two godfather films are in this such as Al Pacino,Diane Keaton,Talia Shire etc.However there are some new actors in the third film such as Andy Garcia and Bridget Fonda.Also the first two films took place in the 40's and 50's(well half of Godfather 2 took place in the 10's and 20's).This film takes place in 1979-1980.Michael Corleone is now older and is still running his mafia family.His son does not want to work for him so he takes Sonny's illegitimate son Vincent under his wing.While Godfather 3 wasn't as good as the first two, it had an excellent ending! The ending was simply amazing and I will not spoil it here.Godfather III is a very underrated and great mafia film though it is not as good as the first two.
