I have to admit that those really excellent scenes may be exactly what frustrates me about GF3. I see small portions of what could have been a great film, and then George Hamilton walks onscreen!

Actually, when you think about it, FFC still pulled off something great. What other Trilogy, which was never intended to be a trilogy, has achieved what The Godfather Trilogy has? Even though GF3 isn't up to the standards of the first two films, it is by no means a total train-wreck. It's just a good film vs. a great film.
