THE GODFATHER PART III (1979)
I am afraid Part 3 is a bit of a let down. Make no mistake it is still very good. Only after the tour d' force of Part 2 it is as if the story is running out of steam. I think the final scene sums it all up...
The year is 1979. After 30 years in the crime business Don Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) finally sees his chance of going fully legitimate, something he promised his wife, Kay (Diane Keaton) many years ago. But just as it seems possible to grab the opportunity, things around him falls apart drastically and he is drawn back into the world of crime he so desperately wants to escape.
In this episode we also meet Michael's nephew, Vincent, who is the illegitimate son of his late (murdered) brother, Sonny. Unfortunately his character (as portrayed by Andy Garcia) is never fully developed or explored. And I think that is part of the let down.
However, like I mentioned in the beginning, as a second sequel to what is essentially a great trilogy, it is still better than most. So, like for Part 1 this one receives 3 out of 5 stars as well from yours truly.
