After a break of more than 15 years, director Francis Ford Coppola and writer Mario Puzo returned to the well for this third and final story of the fictional Corleone crime family. Two decades have passed, and crime kingpin Michael Corleone (Al Pacino), now divorced from his wife Kay (Diane Keaton), has nearly succeeded in keeping his promise that his family would one day be "completely legitimate." A philanthropist devoted to public service, Michael is in the news as the recipient of a special

The film is a slow fuse with a big bang -- one that echoes through every family whose own tragedy is an aching for things past and loved ones lost.
The movie, a heady thicket of political intrigue and double crosses, is slower, talkier, and more prosaic than the first two films, and its narrative seams sometimes show. And yet it's more than the sum of its mazelike convolutions.
The Godfather Part III matches its predecessors in narrative intensity, epic scope, socio-political analysis, physical beauty and deep feeling for its characters and milieu.
Represents a certain moral improvement over its predecessors by refusing to celebrate and condemn violence and duplicity in the same breath, or at least to the same degree.
Most film sequels are strictly optional. The Godfather Part III is inevitable, and as such it's irresistible.
It may be that Coppola was right to put off filing this last installment all these years; from the evidence here, he had nothing more to say.
The third (and final) chapter of Coppola's epic crima saga is the weakest in terms of narrative and acting, but it still has artistic merits.
The third and final Godfather saga; not for kids.
This hits have gotten bigger, and the violence has gotten bloodier. It's less of an examination of family and more of a character piece for Michael.
While it's better than your average film in a lot of respects, it simply cannot hold up to the legacy of its predecessors.
...the movie has a polished grandeur about it that is hard to deny, especially in the closing moments. (Blu-ray Edition)
...didn't live up to expectations but turned out to be a pretty good movie in any case.
Considering the way it inadvertently lampoons and nearly diminishes the earlier two films, this is nothing less than a travesty.
An epic without epic scope, a muted, strained, unnatural affair that never comes into dramatic focus.
Indeed the disappointment many of its detractors assert it to be - in the same way that some of Orson Welles' subsequent works can be called disappointments when compared to Citizen Kane.
Very few have stepped up to bat to defend The Godfather Part III (1990), which I consider a masterpiece and the equal of Parts I and II.
O terceiro ato da obra máxima do Cinema.
The acting is merely passable, several characters are given nothing to do, and Michael's paranoid self-pity lends the film an absurd morality: Coppola expects us to sympathise with the semblance of virtue.
The Godfather Part 3 is the final and the weakest in the Godfather trilogy, but I am not saying it was not bad at all, in fact it was a beautiful conclusion and I loved it. The story now follows Michael as an old man, and he must deal with his life that is soon coming to an end. The plot is much more complex and

This is it: The end of the greatest film trilogy of all time and one that has yet to be beaten. Every moment of the previous films led up to this film and, for the most part, it does not disappoint. Now, this film has something of a reputation of being underrated and being a terrible ending to the saga of the Corleone
