I read about a third of it, then skimmed the rest ... obviously it was a lot of work to write, but it didn't work for me.
First of all, it tried too hard to create artificial "connections" with people we had never met before. Too many mystery illegitimate kids, half-cousins, long-lost relatives from Italy ... ack. Too much.
Then, for all that work which went into introducing all these brothers and cousins and so on, there was no connection - other than Vincent Corleone - with anybody from the previous three episodes. No Al Neri as a senior consigliere in his 70s. No Johnny Fontane as a grand old man of Vegas or Hollywood. No Aunt Connie acting as the "Black Widow" of the entire family. No Grace Hamilton from Ep. 3. Just a bunch of people with familiar-sounding names that you have to explain why they're there.
It also really really overdid multiple rehashes of the semi-incestuous overtones of GFIII -- seriously people it is not really normal to be hot for your cousins or half-cousins. I can see it happening on rare occasions but in this script it's all over the place. Every time somebody meets their long-lost illegitimate cousin or sister or whatever they start acting hot for each other. Eccch.
There were some excerpts which read OK and could possibly be adapted into a revised script. But I'd advise to go back and cut the number of characters about in half, radically trim down the number of branches of the family tree, bring back a few familiar characters from GF III for continuity, and try again.
"You did good."

Is there anywhere online where we could find the Godfather 4 script written by Mario Puzo? I think we need to start looking for it...Please no more inbred stories about the Corleones please...

I don't know where or how I got this, but I found it on my desktop and unless it already stands on the boards, it might interest some of you:
a full GF 4 script (don't know by whom):
CLICK HERE to see it
OHMGOSH ... who the wrote that. You might as well make a new movie, there are way too many new characters, vincent's illegit children, more mancini's, kids = sonny, michael, and now there's a victor and cassandra ... it's terrible. I really hate how it starts off with Bonasera's lines. The last line of "doesn't believe in America." ohmgosh, it sounds like a conclusion of an 8th grade essay.

eh, i read a few lines and such, and it wasn't very good. The only thing I sort of liked was the way they did the Godfather introduction, doing the marrionette, and the string moving down, showing the history of the Godfather, that one I can almost see.
Take Care George Don Crazyman
"Tonight, The Crazyman family settles its accounts. Monkey and Strawboy, those lil amatuer artist f*cks. they've been screwing with us since the beginning. F*ck'em. Izabela, my ex-g/f, Tracey will pay her a visit, at her home. Ruben, take a train to Holman, light a candle for professor Nyman."

yes but it will only aggravate as none of those greats will be seen in this movie
