Godfather I was a very fine film! Godfather II was a GREAT film! Godfather iii was a horrendously botched up affair. It was a truly dismal end to the tryptich of Godfather movies. On that particular note, the situation is even sadder. Let's clear up one HUGE factor in the failure of the film. Winona Ryder was supposed to have starred in the Sofia Coppola role. She was unavailable as she was still filming another project. So Francis Ford Coppola put his own daughter in the role. It didn't work. Something good did come of this fiasco, however! It proved conclusively Sofia could not act yet had OTHER TALENTS! She could write and direct like her famous father going on to Oscar nominations for writing and directing as well as Best Film of the year! As stated above, the most notorious matter about Part iii was the shabby way in which the Corleone Saga ended. The fault should not be placed entirely on the young Coppola! The film was not well written and could not hold my attention for its duration. However, it was considered a "prestige" film and did go on to earn several Oscar Nominations including a Best Picture Nod! No way could it match the intensity of Parts I and II. I'm going to be very, very generous and give it a 6. It truly should be rated at about 4, possibly 5, but absolutely no higher!
