I was just like you the first time I saw Part 3. I hated it with a passion. Gracia's cuban accent,Sophia in general,not to mention her acting,the plot that was impossible to follow, etc,etc. But the more times you watch it, it does get better. Granted, the Actor's Studio couldnt make Sophia a better actor, and nothing will change the fact that Michael acts more like Sonny that himself,you figure out the plot,you ignore Vinnie's accent, you focus on Michaels struggle to go legit despite it all.It will never be in the same class as 1 or 2, but you come to like it in a diffrent way.
