Leave your thoughts about The Godfather Part III.
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanIn this brilliantly sustained climax, Coppola unveils a vision of corruption that embraces the entire world, but he's also reveling in sheer theatrical magic in a way that only a master can. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSallePart III matches its predecessors in narrative intensity, epic scope, socio-political analysis, physical beauty and deep feeling for its characters and milieu. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonVery 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. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonIt's strange how the earlier movies fill in the gaps left by this one, and answer the questions. It is, I suspect, not even possible to understand this film without knowing the first two, and yet, knowing them, Part III works better than it should. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIt is, I suspect, not even possible to understand this film without knowing the first two, and yet, knowing them, Part III works better than it should, evokes the same sense of wasted greatness, of misdirected genius. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliOne of the most obvious problems with The Godfather Part III is that it covers little new territory. The plot is highly derivative of the original. |
| Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)Bob BloomNot up to par with the first two, but still interesting because of Pacino. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsMark R. LeeperThe third film is no more flawed and probably in a league with the first two. |
| USA TodayMike ClarkOne of the most frustrating films of 1990, an epic without epic scope, a muted, strained, unnatural affair that never comes into dramatic focus. |
| The New York TimesElvis MitchellOne of this film's greatest accomplishments is its making an audience believe that the Corleones and their various partners in crime have been entirely in character during the intervening decades, but have simply neglected to turn up on screen. |
