Godfather III is actually a good movie. The story is quite brilliant, and the relationship between Kay and Michael beautifully rendered. But there are a couple of casting miscues, and - when following in the footsteps of two of the greatest movies ever made - “good” ain’t good enough.
There’s also the problem that they chose to use firepower, not brain power, to bring it off. For a great use of brain power and terrific character development, with minimal violence and minimal pornography, go to “Better Call Saul “
Al Pacino was not Michael Corleone in this movie. He was Al Pacino. Nothing like the character he played in the first two movies.
I just thought Pacino’s portrayal of Michael in GFIII didn’t match up with the Michael from the other GF movies, I didn’t believe I was watching the same guy.
