Amazon.com essential video:
Sixteen years after Francis Ford Coppola won his second Oscar for The Godfather II (his first was for the 1972 Godfather), the director and star Al Pacino attempted to revive the concept one more time. Despite an elaborate plot that involves Michael Corleone seeking redemption through the Vatican while simultaneously preparing his nephew (Andy Garcia) to take over the Corleone family, the film fails to take shape as a truly meaningful experience in the way the preceding movies do. Still, Pacino is very moving as an elder Michael, filled with regret and trying hard to make amends with his wife (Diane Keaton) and grown children (one of whom is played, and not all that well, by the director's daughter, Sofia Coppola). --Tom Keogh
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Excellent in nearly every way, except as a Godfather film
I can't rave enough about this film. A stellar cinematic achievement. Its only fault is being the third part of the trilogy. It can't compare to the other films. I and II consistently rank among top ten films ever. This isn't in the top ten films ever. Certainly, it ranks amongst the top 20 percent. (I'd probably put it in the top one percent of all films. Too much has been made of this film to re-rank or replace it among the other two.
One of the shining parts of this film is ... Read More
Rating:  - Just bad
I didn't watch Godfather for III for years because I always heard terrible things about it. Well, they were all true. This movie is awful. The only things it has going for it are the cinematography and Pacino's acting. The actress who plays his daughter is beyond awful- that girl couldn't have gotten a role in a high school play. The plot is weak, the characters are not likable or memorable for the most part. I wanted to just turn off the dvd player after the first fifteen minutes, but I wanted ... Read More
Rating:  - The end of the trilogy
I had to get this movie because I own Godfather I and II. I liked Godfather III, but I wasn't as thrilled as I was with the previous movies. I think that because it was so long between the second and third movies had a real negative effect on the third installment. I'm glad that I got it, to complete the trilogy, but it was out shined by the other two. But, it is a decent installment that brings these movies to a close.
Rating:  - Pales in comparison
Taken on it's own merits, this is a pretty good film, with good acting and a fairly good (if confusing) plot.
But unfortunatly it can never be judged on it's own merits, as the shadow of 2 of film history's greatest films loom over it. The result is a rather lacklustre (if still watchable) film that significantly pales in comparison.
You care a lot less about the characters, and the plot does nothing really to add (or to it's credit detract) from the original 2.

Rating: - Nice end to an incredible trilogy
I enjoyed it. Granted most everyone agrees it didn't live up to the first two, but it did above average with it's powerful performance by Al Pacino, once of his best I have to say, Diane Keaton, one of hers. If only Winona Ryder didn't back out of this film due to an illness we would never have had to endure Sofia Coppola playing the role of Michael Corleone's daughter. She's a great director like her father, but no actor.
