Product Description
THE EPIC SAGA IS NOW COMPLETE
Amazon.com essential video
Sixteen years after Francis Ford Coppola won his second Oscar for The Godfather II (his first was for the 1972 Godfather), the director and star Al Pacino attempted to revive the concept one more time. Despite an elaborate plot that involves Michael Corleone seeking redemption through the Vatican while simultaneously preparing his nephew (Andy Garcia) to take over the Corleone family, the film fails to take shape as a truly meaningful experience in the way the preceding movies do. Still, Pacino is very moving as an elder Michael, filled with regret and trying hard to make amends with his wife (Diane Keaton) and grown children (one of whom is played, and not all that well, by the director's daughter, Sofia Coppola). --Tom Keogh

 Flawed but a well done Gangster film March 17, 2010
Chris Stewart
I admit I love this movie because of the actors and the characters they played. I love mobster films as much as anyone here. I love Al Pacino he is so good in this film but the person that really sparked was Andy Garcia playing Vincent as cold, violent, emotional gangster who was being advised by Michael Corleone in a well deserved Oscar Nomination. Even though he might not have won the oscar especially Best Picture it is still worth seeing despite Sofia Coppola being a bad actress as she is before being an Oscar Winning Screenwriter for Lost In Translation (2004). People say that this insults Catholics. I am Catholic and I was not really insulted. For the lesson in this movie forgiveness and redemption is really hard to find especially to your family. It is ironic about AL pacino and ANdy Garcia in this film because they were both nominated in the same category; Andy Garcia for Godfather PArt III and AL Pacino for Dick Tracy.

I am sorry, but I just have to say it: Sophia Coppola cast as Michael's daughter Mary ruined this movie for myself and many others. This was a nice juicy role that should have gone to someone who could act. I cringed every time she opened her mouth to say her monotone, emotionless lines. I feel so sorry for the actors that had to play opposite her. She looked so uncomfortable on screen, that it distracted myself and everyone I know who has watched it. - If however you can ingore her, you may be able to enjoy the rest of the film, seeing actors from the first and second Godfather movies taking up their old familiar roles. - The casting of Sophia Coppola in this role makes me wish so much that this movie could be re-made with someone else in the role of Mary Corleone. Had Sophia not been cast in this role, I really feel that the movie would have been a great success. I waited for years with baited breath, just as the rest of the world did, for this movie to come out and how disappointed we were. What a shame!

The Godfather Part III suffers from the marvels of the first two films. Brando, De Niro, Caan, Duvall, and many other stars are absent. The Mafia is no longer the central part of this story. And it's actually hard to understand this film without watching the first two films. But does that mean it fails to be a movie overall? Of course, not.
Despite being the weakest in the trilogy, The Godfather Part III makes for a powerful conclusion to this epic saga. It's now 1979, and Michael Corleone is diagnosed with diabetes. He's separated from his wife, and his children are estranged. For years, Michael has felt guilt from not only isolating himself from his own family, but also having his brother Fredo killed. Now, he wants to go perfectly legitimate with his risky business. As you can see, this has now become a tale of redemption and forgiveness.
Francis Ford Coppola does what he does best here. He moves the story along, with some interesting and powerful elements that have not been found in the first two films. The script is still brilliant the third time around; I don't think you can improve anything here. The music sounds reused, but they still become an important aspect in every scene that requires it.
Of course, we cannot forget the cast (whether good or bad). Al Pacino is as amazing as ever. He's still superior in the first two films, but here, we get to see more emotion and more skill. The last two scenes are especially powerful; it still gets me a bit teary-eyed. Diane Keaton is still spectacular as Kay; same goes for Talia Shire as Connie. Andy Garcia becomes a welcome addition in the cast. He's perfect as the late Sonny's son, Vincent. It's very amusing to see Joe Mantegna as Joey Zasa . . . especially if you try hard not to envision him as Fat Tony. Donal Donnelly as the Archbishop can be best described as extraordinary: he's believable alright. B.J. Harrison as the Corleones' new adviser isn't really as great as Robert Duvall in the first two films, but he can still manage to make us appreciate his performance. Finally, we come to Sofia Coppola as Mary. Countless people find her dull and wooden, easily the worst performance in the entire trilogy. While I do find her wooden, she really makes it more authentic. She is oblivious to what's going on in her father's business; she's more of a simpleton rather than an expert in the Mafia business. And I think Sofia pretty much fits that personality here.
It's true that The Godfather Part III is not in the same league as the first two classic installments, but this is still a fitting conclusion, and it is an extraordinary movie. Just make sure you've seen Godfather I and II before you see this one.

This is the worst godfather movie out of the 3. The godfather becomes a huge crybaby that regrets his early doings and becomes a total opposite of what he has become in his early career.
