I agree. I actually said to myself-Good she's dead.She lasted way to long! But then I saw how much she ment to Mike and I felt bad for saying that.

What it lacks are the smaller roles and unifying characters that were present in the first two films who gave the films that something extra: people like Tessio & Clemenza, Sonny, Roth, Moe Green. If nothing else, Connie is the only other Corleone left from the first film beside Michael -and that's not really a good thing. The void in GFIII are the Corleone's NOT in the film: Vito, Sonny, Fredo, and Tom (I know he's not a Corleone by name). The characters that were brought back in III were insiginifant to the plots in the Trilogy.
I couldnt agree more.I think they waited too long. Although it doesnt "ruin" the trilogy for me, it is nowhere near the other 2.Still it is better than a lot of movies worse. Had it not been called a Godfather movie, I think it would have done better, critically. Nothing can help Sophias acting!
