An idea that should never have left Coppola's head!

Rating: 1/10 (6 June 2005)

This movie is so bad I don't even know where to begin. The best way I can describe Godfather3 is that it seems like Frances Ford Coppola had the perfect recipe for making great movies, and what came out of the oven was Godfather and Godfather Part 2. He obviously lost the recipe for good movies and tried to copy the recipe from memory, and like most cooks who try that,ended up with a lot of missing ingredients resulting in a tasteless mess! Al Pacino is so bad in this movie, that it is hard to believe he was the actor who portrayed Michael in the first 2 films! From his new wave spiked hair(unbelievable because the Michael from 1 and 2 would have been too old fashioned for a new doo) to the recycled dialogue(re inserted ver batem to fit scenes in this movie). A lame story, miscasting, and god awful acting pretty much sums up this rancid piece of garbage! Sophia Coppola was truly bad in this movie, but at least she can say she had never acted before! What is Pacino's excuse, because he was equally bad! My advice would be to definitely rent 1 and 2 and forget 3 was ever made!
