A Very Good Film

Rating: 9/10 (17 January 2004)

This final installment of the "Godfather" trilogy has been, since its release in 1990, heckled and regarded as a terrible movie that puts the other two Godfather films to shame.
Untrue.
I would argue, as many movie-lovers would, that it is very difficult (if not impossible) to match the greatness of the first two films. However, "The Godfather Part III" is a very decent film and, although Robert Duvall is not in it, the story is solid, the acting is terrific (except for Sophia Coppolla), and the ending is subtly powerful and moving.
I hope that everyone who enjoys the "Godfather Part I and Part II" sees the "Godfather Part III." It is a very, very good film.
