Absolutely Fantastic
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
It. has become vogue to defend Godather part 3 as not that bad. If anyone tells you that, never ever listen to their opinions about movies again. The writing is corny, the acting is stiff, the music is melodramatic and the action is amateurish.
It's maybe one of the most underappreciated movie ever. I still don't get all these complaints about Sofia Coppola's acting, I mean... in my opinion she fits the role with her Italian beauty. As always people follow the critics blindly without thinking about it on their own. Personally, my favourite of the three partly because of Andy Garcia who completely stole the scene. The greatness of this movie is simply undeniable that even the music is so moving.
The Godfather part III as a stand alone movie was great. I enjoyed it immensely. Not as great as the first two movies but definitely very watchable and a fitting ending to the trilogy.One reason why it's ratings are not as high as the first two is in my opinion due to the 16 year gap between the making of the first two movies and this one. That's a generation skip. You can see the same ratings decline with the Star Wars movies.Movie audiences crave something new all the time and movie studios try to make what they believe the audience want. You can plainly see the cycle of the genres. Right now we're in the middle of super hero cycle, but when was the last time you saw a Western blockbuster? In my opinion it hasn't been since 1992 with Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven.If Godfather III was made a few years after the first two while the buzz of the first two was still strong and in the zeitgeist of the populace I believe it would be scoring much higher in IMDb as it does now.
I watched The Godfather Part 2 again after not having seen it for a number of years. I fell in love with it for the first time, especially the acting and the cinematography. I felt compelled to see 3 right after that, mainly because I was feeling the glow of the excellence of 2. I was hoping that that 3 was actually better than I had remembered from past viewing, and I was wrong. I've read lots of reviews about the plot and Sophia Coppola's wooden acting and still my major complaint from the get-go is the god-awful acting. Every one in the movie appears false! I just couldn't get beyond how forced each line appeared. Maybe the story was effective yet I couldn't get through enough of the film to understand the plot because of how painful it was to watch each actor deliver his/her lines. It's so excruciatingly obvious that Francis Ford Coppola was not inspired nor were his actors. All in all, the message this film conveys to me is that it was made under duress. It has no artistic connection whatsoever to the previous masterpieces of the same name.
