I wish I had known what a great movie this was years ago!

Rating: 10/10 (8 May 2006)

I had always heard that part III sucked, so I had never seen it until this year (2006). What a treat! So many profound scenes as Michael loses his last chance for the redemption of his soul and everyone he loves.
I never realized Andy Garcia was so handsome! He's so charismatic in this film. He is up to Pacino's level, and, what a great thing for an actor to play Don Corleone! Wow! The scene in the opera is fantastic - the anti-baptism/assassination.
I didn't think Sofia was that bad. And I thought Keaton was fantastic during the scene on the steps after Mary's death - I was quite amazed at how she totally lost it - never saw her do that before! Thank you, Francis Ford Copola, for writing and directing the best movies of all time. Apocalypse now is still my rank for #1 of all time - but this movie was really great to watch after all these years. I should remember not to listen to critics and public opinion about great movies - they are so often wrong!
