Interesting, can't decide who I agree with. Problem is, it seems a little silly to carry on the Saga, when we saw Michael die at end of Godfather III. Incidentally, (Godfather III is not that bad) Perhaps not a strictly NECESSARY movie, but it's good. Watch all three back to back sometime, you'll see what I mean. The ultimate message of the Godfather movies is that the REAL gangsters are the Dons in the Church and Government and they've been corrupt for years....
