I recently saw GF III on AMC and something occured to me. How many of you fell in love with a movie as a child, and viewed it again later in life only this time more aware of the flaws in the acting, plot, etc.? Mind you, I own the godfather box set, but before purchasing that I had only seen III once when I was young. I know this has been done to death, but when it comes to completing the trilogy, FFC and the powers that be went about it all wrong. I've never seen so many B-actors in one movie. Young Andy Garcia still has remnants of an accent, and seems to almost mock Sonny with his exaggerated manneurisms. Sofia Coppola is the most distracting weakness throughout the film, as it becomes more and more clear that she is the director's little girl. By the way, am I the only one who was nauseated by that snarl-face she seems to do? The actor who played Anthony looked like he should be working the soap opera circuit with those dramatic "I'll never work for you" moments. Lastly, and most sad and difficult for me to say, was Al Pacino's overall weak performance. Besides a few classic lines and the death of Mary scene, Pacino seemed bored and was already in his hoarse-yelling stage whereas in the first two films, he was so calm and soft-spoken. Also, I found the immobilaire sub-plot to be thouroughly boring and did not fit with the present themes of the movies. Anyway, I apologize for the length of my ranting but I feel we all got cheated when it came to completing the trilogy that needed no completion.
