Gotten an unfair rap

Rating: 6/10 (10 May 2016)

I feel that this film has gotten an unfair treatment. It certainly is the weakest in the Godfather trilogy, but definitely isn't as bad as everyone says it is. Sure, Sophia Coppola is AWFUL, I hated the smug smile she had on her face throughout the film, but this film had plenty of redeemable features. Most notably, Connie Corleone. I loved how this film gave her a much bigger role. She is a fascinating character and seeing her gain more agency was brilliant to watch. I also liked how Part III hearkened back enough to its previous films. Coppola described it as an epilogue and I think that that's an accurate description. It was similar enough to the originals, but had enough new material to keep it interesting.
