I'm just gonna forget this installment happened

Rating: 4/10 (31 July 2019)

Watched all three within 24hrs. First one is incomparable, but pt.2 put up a good fight and had a more memorable ending imo. Third movie...is where everything went wrong. I loved Pacino in the first two movies, but he was hamming it up here. That stroke scene made me laugh so hard. Outside the movie's unintentional attempts to make it a comedy, It just doesn't have the essence of the first two. I actually didn't mind Sophia's acting. Maybe I expected the worst reading people's reviews, but she did alright. She just had too much air time and lines. I felt pt.3 dumbed down everything down for the audience, like repeating so many times that Fredo was killed by Michael and how Enzo was the family baker. I liked the first two because they didn't have to talk so much; they left the viewer to fill in the gaps and make inferences. The thing about these movies is they always leave you wanting more. After pt.1 I was having Vito Corleone withdrawals. The second movie, I was longing for Sonny, Fredo and pre-Don Michael. This movie makes me long for the days before it existed. I need a cleanse now.
