What's with all the complaints??

Rating: 10/10 (22 August 2004)

I've always avoided seeing the third part of the Godfather Trilogy, fearing that it will ruin the Godfather "experience" for me. However, I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to finally watch it today. After sitting in my chair for 4 hours, I can conclude that this is one of the best movies I have seen. The score is taken almost note-for-note from the previous two films, but it fits the story perfectly.
I can see why some had criticized Sofia Coppola's acting, but that is completely overshadowed by the performances of the rest of the cast, especially that of Andy Garcia. I really have to admit that this is probably the best film in this trilogy. I regret the fact that I had not seen this film until today; I really missed out on what should be regarded as a classic.
