	‘The Godfather Part III’ (R)
		Admittedly, "The Godfather" I and II, which are universally acclaimed as among the greatest works of the American cinema, are a tough act to follow; a very good film might be put alongside them and still not measure up.
		For the most part, though, he busies himself by paying attention to the details of playing an older man -- Michael is around 60 -- and goes not much deeper than that.
		Still, the part is a relatively small one, and her failure -- contrary to much that has already been written -- contributes very little to what is actually wrong with the film.

	The Godfather Part III - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Godfather, Part III (1990) is the third film in the Godfather trilogy.
		Parts of the film are very loosely based on real historical events concerning the ending of the Papacy of Paul VI and the very short Papacy of John Paul I in 1978 and the collapse of the Banco Ambrosiano in 1982.
		In addition to this, The Godfather part III is recurringly parodied on the series with jokes such as "This movie is worse than the Godfather III!" [in reference to a film co-produced by Homer Simpson and Mel Gibson.], and a secret bootleg videotape whose cover reads "The Godfather III: Good version".

	The Godfather Part III (1990)
		Part of that stemmed from my general lack of enthusiasm for the movie, but I’ve been entertained by commentaries that accompanied flicks I hated - such as - so that factor didn’t explain the apparent decline.
		The track for III probably suffered from a few more empty gaps than I heard during the first two films, but once again, I didn’t mind these terribly; due to the length of the movie, it was almost inevitable that some blanks would occur.
		The Godfather Part III is a film I’ll likely revisit every three or four years out of curiosity, but I doubt I’ll ever care much for it, as it doesn’t provide a strong conclusion to the Corleone saga.

	DVD Review: The Godfather: Part III
		All in all, Part III is good, but like the second film, this one is made better by being part of the whole.
		The Godfather Part III is actually the fourth disc in the set, since Part II spanned two discs.
		Part III came out in 1990 and should therefore be in much better shape.

	The Godfather Part III - DVD Movie Central
		The Godfather Part III is an integral part of the entire saga...so much so, that it cannot stand on it's own, yet when viewed as a whole with its prior installments, seems like a chapter the story cannot do without.
		In Part III, we see Michael (Pacino) as we saw Vito in the original; on the other side of life, faces ravaged by their deeds, shadows of what they once were, remembering what was most important to them but lacking the ability to preserve them.
		Part III may enjoy the best audio mix of the set, with a much cleaner, clearer center stage that renders the dialogue with slightly more fullness.

	Steven Rubio's Online Life: godfather iii
		Nothing in Part III adds to our understanding of his character, nor is there any reason for us to expect otherwise: the first two films are the greatest movies ever in part because their depiction of Michael Corleone is complete.
		The Godfather Part II is the greatest sequel ever because it expanded on our understanding from the first film, by showing both the roots (the "flashback" segments) and results (Michael) of Vito's life.
		She doesn't ruin III because she's not in it enough, but neither is there a need for a revisionist "she's not so bad" take...

	A Fistful of Reviews - The Godfather Part III (1990)
		I am handing this film the best grade of all three Godfather films, because it takes what made the first "Godfather" film so good and expands on it in ways that make it the most enjoyable, thrilling, and engaging of the three films.
		Although I guess it can be said that even Brando's Godfather was a man of principal since he would not allow the family to enter into the business of narcotics, despite the obvious financial advantages, because it was not the sort of business the he did.
		To me "The Godfather Part III" takes the best elements of the previous two films and refines them to create a better crafted and smoother paced film that should keep the most militant of filmgoers planted in their seats from beginning to end.

	Review: The Godfather Part III
		That it proved unable to fulfill expectations was a predictable - if somewhat disheartening - result, given the sixteen year buildupThe Godfather Part III is a good movie, with moments of rare power, but it is not a great one - a reason why many fans of the series have voiced their disappointment.
		Part III became the first Godfather not to take best picture and, despite a deserving performance, Al Pacino's efforts were not acknowledged.
		There are moments of The Godfather Part III that shine with the brilliance of the previous two films.

		The Godfather Part III (1990) is the third and final film in the Godfather trilogy written by Mario Puzo and Francis Ford Coppola, and directed by Coppola.

		The Godfather films are frequently punctuated by violent, often bloody deaths.
		The famous restaurant-murder scene in The Godfather brings it all together in a literal explosion of blood, wine, bodies, and food.

	The Godfather Part III
		Whilst Part III may never scale the heights of the previous installments it is still an expertly crafted and rewarding film that gets better every time I see it.
		Part 3 may not be of the same quality as the first and second part but as part of a trilogy, the film works successfully.
		So Part III had a lot to live up to and a lot to contend with, not least that it was made for all the wrong reasons.

	Tragedy of Michael Corleone in The Godfather: Part III, The Literature Film Quarterly - Find Articles
		The Godfather: Part III (1990) is often viewed not as the epic conclusion to director Francis Ford Coppola's "chronicles" of the Corleone Family, but as a major disappointment, an ending inferior to its beginning.
		Intertextual repetition is unavoidable for a film titled "The Godfather." However, the murder of Joey Zasa is a case in point of how Part HI replicates the patterns and motifs of the earlier films, but lacks the same degree of intensity or epic scope.
		In contrast to the conspiratorial tone that dominated the earlier dramas, the mood of Part III is confessional, and as its main concern is Michael's bid for redemption rather than another triumph over his enemies, the film represents a significant expansion of the moral parameters of its predecessors into a more spiritual dimension.

	dOc DVD Review: The Godfather Part III (1990)
		Part of the problem is that there is no "Godfather Part 2-1/2" that shows how the Michael we "know" at the end of Part II becomes the Michael that we meet in Part III.
		It is not the first time that an actor was not up to the requirements of a role; it was simply a poor decision to cast her and that cannot be escaped.
		The earliest scenes of the young Vito Corleone from The Godfather Part II are focused on the neighborhood from which the Family emerged.

		Part III matches its predecessors in narrative intensity, epic scope, socio-political analysis, physical beauty and deep feeling for its characters and milieu.
		One of the most obvious problems with The Godfather Part III is that it covers little new territory.
		The first part fascinated me, the book is amazing, the film isn't as good, but part 2 wasn't as good, it was all right, but it never worked with Al Pacino.

		As part of his plan for legitimising the family business, Michael contributes a large donation to the church and accepts an honour from the pope.
		Godfather III is set in 1979 and deals with the declining years of Michael Corleone and his desire to distance himself from his gangster past and to achieve the respectabilty and legitimacy he craves for.
		In "Godfather III," however, the aging Michael, who is trying to become a pillar of society in order to preserve his immediate family, accomplishes the very opposite of what he intended.

	The Godfather: Part II (1974): Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton - PopMatters Film Review
		The studio had granted him the first sequel's title (he chose "Part II" at least partly to signify resistance to the whole sequel idea, that is, to name it for what it was).
		As Coppola recalls, his decision to make the second film was galvanized in part by the studio's many concessions, primarily not to interfere with script or shooting.
		In part, this seems a function of the film's status as a "reunion" project, bringing back so many of the previous players 10 years later.

	1990 The Godfather Part III - Movie reviews, trailers, clips and stills
		Instead of the deliberate and purposeful plotting of the first two films, "The Godfather: Part III" is a jumble of half-completed ideas and strained dialogue that tries very hard to emulate the glory of its predecessors.
		Though her character is an integral part of Michael's quest for redemption, Keaton's presence seems more of a contractual obligation than anything else, given the uninteresting lines that she utters.
		Despite its faults, when viewed in the context of the entire "Godfather" trilogy, this third and final film brings closure to the tragic downfall of Michael Corleone, a man who once naively did what he thought was best for his family, only to unleash more misery than he could have ever imagined.

		Talia Shire has grown in ability since Part Two and she seems to relish the chance to make Connie the power behind the throne once Michael throws in the towel.
		It's obvious from the commentary that Coppola cast her for personal reasons and he considers that no-one else could have played the part, but the problem is that she isn't able to convince in the key relationship with Vincent and this leaves the centre of the film fatally flawed.
		I readily admit that The Godfather Part Three is disappointing and a little unnecessary after the powerful tragedy of the previous film.

	The Godfather: Part Iii Movie Review
		While the film is well-acted (with the surprising exception of Diane Keaton reprising a role that wasn't all that interesting to begin with), masterfully lighted, and gorgeously photographed -- most notably the various shootout scenes -- it ultimately treads over old ground: material from the first two movies as well as repeating itself.
		Anyway, it's hard to put your finger on it, but the series seems to have lost something else between 1972 and 1990, when this final act was produced, as if Part III is designed to appeal to a younger audience more interested in blood, guts, and filthy language.
		Ultimately, the film is fine for ending the trilogy, but Part III is more of an appendix than an epilogue.
