worth seeing 3-4 times (not 800 times like its' predecessors)

Rating: 6/10 (7 November 2014)

film works beautifully for about 40 minutes then goes off in many directions. the scenes at the Vatican are quite compelling and in a way the Director should be commended for showing the guts to express, artistically, how many people feel about Religion in general. It is "the God business" and its' conceivable that it has had some bad associations.
acting is excellent, all around, and yes, I thought Director's daughter did okay.
I said above the story goes off too far, geographically *and* dramatically. I won't give away the very unsatisfying ending but will say a much smaller concentration on the Godfather's new, terrible scenario to work through, his "bastard" nephew's (Father was Sonny) obvious attraction to his daughter, would have made this strong "9".
