near classic..!

Rating: 9/10 (20 July 2009)

Just watched this movie..i'd seen the previous 2 parts way back..those were CLASSICS in every sense of the word. I was pretty reluctant to watch the 3rd part though, after having heard the comments and having read the reviews. Somehow i gathered the energy to watch this one,and i wasn't disappointed at all. The weaker side of Michael Corleone is portrayed beautifully here. The scene where he gets the diabetes attack..yelling out.."FREDO,FREDO..", his confession , moments with Kay..all of those scenes were quite touching. okay Sophie coppola's dialog delivery was poor..agreed..but the whole movie was an apt ending to the trilogy. Andy Garcia..for me..did a stellar job. He really looked like sonny's offspring..not by looks but by his way of talking,his behavior. There's a strong plot alongside too. All in all ..i'd say this movie is under-rated..comparisons to previous 2 editions are unjust. I am not a pro critic ..but these are my honest comments about the movie..Those of you all who are still reluctant to watch this one should give it a go..
