Topic: Do you like The Godfather Part 3

[kevin_1990]

If not why ? i think it's a great movie and has to be the most underrated movie ever in movie History. People say it's cause it doesn't live up to the first Godfather and Part 2 i think it dose it holds its own with the first two parts.

I think the last scene in this movie is the most emotional scene ever in a movie due to the amazing acting of Al Pacino Francis Ford Coppola said that is the greatest raw emotion he has ever seen from an actor. i have seen all 3 Godfather movies hundreds of times and every time i see this part i still get goose bumps.

check out this scene if you haven't seen it and if you have check it out again

I don't think it's a bad movie, it just isn't on par with the other two, in my opinion. It rounds out the story, completing Michael's story arc.

It seems like they had to try too hard, it didn't come natural anymore; that goes or Coppola's direction as much as for the acting. Also, it starts to feel repetitive, it plays out all too similar.

I like Andy Garcia, but he just didn't fit the film. Sofia Coppola was a last minute replacement for someone else and unfortunately she's the weakest link of all.

Achim thank you once again for taken the time to reply to one of my topics. I respect your opinion of the movie but i have to disagree lol even if they did try too hard i think the movie turned out great and i thought Andy Garcia played the part of vincent corleone great and i thought Sofia Coppola played her part ok too even thought i know most people say she is a terrible actor and played her part in this movie terrible and they cant stand her. lol

whats up with this forum anyway is it dead hardly anyone seems to reply ?

I hate most of the "classics" as well as the movies connected to them. I can't explain why exactly since they are all slightly different genres, and I don't dislike all old films either.

All of the Godfather movies fit into this category.

It's not dead. But bear in mind that this is a very small group of active members and everyone is interested in very different types of films (most will not have seen The Godfather 3 at all).

It's been so long since I've seen this movie I don't even remember it so I can't comment on it - or the second one for that matter. One of these days I'll have to re-watch them.

I remember the first film well and thought it was terrific. This is one of the movies I wanted to check out because I enjoyed the book so much.

I'm in the same boat.  Got the trilogy on Blu-ray for Christmas, but have yet to start one.  And it's been way too long since I've seen them to comment.

I think by using the quotation marks he refers to "so called classics", like Godfather, 2001, or maybe Citizen Kane. There are still old films that are not considered must see classics that he could be watching.

Out of the three Godfather movies, the 3rd is the one I like the least but paradoxically, I think it has the strongest scene of the entire trilogy and that is near the end, when Corleone's daughter is killed.  The scene shows Pacino, sitting outside in a stairway, screaming but there's no sound and although it only lasts a few seconds it feels like minutes.

A very strong scene imho.

yes that's the scene i was talking about i put a link up the top too it. it's great the way there is no sound when he is screaming and when it fades into sound and you really feel for him its the scream of the broken man!

allot of people who arnt really big fans of the 3rd movie and like your self like it least out of the 3 movies say Al Pacino saved the whole entire movie with that scene.
