least good one, yes. But the main problem, Good Guy, as you will most definitely find out once you're on this board long enough, is that it's a little out of range. The first two make such a strong combination, like a pact, a coalition: one and two together, now THAT'S a brilliant saga with a great structure and a tragic end.

In hindsight we feel they should have left it with that. Of course, probably no one minded a new release in the late eightties (I wouldn't know, I was 6) but now we think, 'why did no one stop them back then?'. In GF III, Michael regrets his past and is seeking for some sort of redemption. While he does not succeed entirely and is still punished in the end (you got to give Puzo/Coppola credit for the ending sequence) we feel as if Michael's search for forgiveness is succeeding. He is not that hard, cruel man anymore, what made the finale of GFII so goddamn wonderfull!

GF III, not a bad movie, not if it was outside of the Corleone universe. As an ending to the Michael Corleone story, it weakens the total Godfather saga, unfortunately.


But there are great, many great things to be said about the third movie none the less! Great performances all around (you will find some sort of hatred against Sofia "Mary" Coppola here though), a nice story, true to the originals, Al Pacino's comeback, Andy Garcia's breakthrough, a wonderfull get together of the crew... it has 7 oscar nominations!!

GF III made the totality less strong but it's not a bad movie
