I may be in a solid minority, but I liked The Godfather Part III. And the more time that passes the better it's becoming. Is it up to the bar set by Part II? No. It's doubtful that any sequel could. But as the closing chapter of the life of a man who became his father despite his best wishes, and now is facing those choices in light of his mortality, it is a fitting end.

And tying the Corleone's family saga in with the Vatican politics circa late Seventies was a nice touch. Overlook Sofia Coppola's presence (it really should have been Winona Ryder as Mary) and it holds its own remarkably well.

I didn’t care for Part III but like you, it got better the second time I saw it and a little better still the third time.

Still not really good but better than I thought to start with.

I loved it. Every moment of it.

I also loved Sofia Coppola in the role; and Andy Garcia was wonderful. She is a very talented director in her own right, I might add.
