Better Than You've Heard

Rating: 9/10 (21 January 2007)

First of all, I must admit that this is movie is not AS good as the first two Godfather movies...it's not as intense, not as multi-layered...and it's a little too retrospective sometimes.
However, this I really enjoyed this movie the first time I saw, which surprised me, considering things I've heard about it from the pretentious movie critics. I found myself wrapped up in it. The acting, Sofia Coppola aside, was top notch. The story and dialog: excellent. This movie is way underrated, another case of people buying into what they hear.
Once again, this movie may not be as good as the first two, but it deserves more credit than it gets. In fact, I'd say that the movie deserves an 8.0 to a 8.2
