No, III is HORRIBLE. Sofia Coppola is a black mark on the film, as is the very poorly conceived dialog. The entrance of Joe Mantegna is the jump-the-shark moment of the trilogy.

Don't be stiff, III is not horrible.

Sofia is not a black mark. Thats what some critics said.

Not a materpiece but a still a good film to watch.

The last godfather is horrible. It should have been about Connie's attempt to restore the crime family by attempting to place her son in the position of being the new don. They could have contrasted this with Puzo's desire to show the rise of Vito's family just as FFC contrasted Michael and Vito in GF2.

[kolatian]

Its not as good as the first 2, but not horrible. It is hyperbolical to call it horrible:)

Only 61 views, something is not right.

That's not kinda funny at all. It's rather quite meaningless.

@kolatian I Agree! is really good, not a masterpiece but end well the trilogy, I dont like the action of pacino, like the 2 first, change a lot... I cry a lot at the end of the 3, the end of an era

Mario Puzo is just a genius.

Mario Puzo = Best writer ever!

@g6686not The Godfather 4 was originally supposed to go right into early stages of production in early 1999, however there were some set backs. Unfortunately Mario Puzo passed away before any negotiations could be shared. Francis Ford Coppola still retains the FILM RIGHTS...so IF he wanted to adapt a fourth installment, he could easily do so as Hollywood nor any studio in Hollywood doesn't own the rights and can't do it, Hollywood's been trying to get the rights, but FFC is smart, luckily.

[Dank951]

Last I heard, Francis was having some SLIGHT CONSIDERATIONS about pulling out the script for The Godfather 4...however, to be very frank, I think I saw the book as complete within the first two films. The third one was good, but not that good. I think another film (especially so long after) would do extreme damage to both Coppola's repuation and the series. I don't see how a fourth installment could work. I really don't.

@g6686not i agree completely! i'm not saying the 3rd movie was horrible, it was good, but that's it. when i saw the 1st & 2nd one, i LITERALLY stood silent after the credit was over, thinking "wow wtf? wow that was... wow.. wow wow" and then i saw the 3rd one and i didn't get struck. i was more like, "what?!! oh no he didn't!" well so yea anyway, i think it would've been more awesome if they'd gone with mario's version with the background stories of each character :)

The Godfather 3 was an amazing movie. Period.

[g6686not]

damn hollywood! lol! I mean nowdays they come out with all these crappy remakes but here you had mario wanting to write yet another epic that would have made hollywood millions! And yet they didn't do it smh..
