The Godfather: Part III (1990)
Was it supposed to be funny that the main storyline in The Godfather: Part III took “keep it in the family” to an entirely new level? It’s a love story between Andy Garcia and Sofia Coppola, who play first cousins. Andy is James Caan’s son, and Sofia is Al Pacino’s daughter. Does anyone really care about these people, or would you rather send them to a therapist and save yourself three hours? Since only three of the original cast has made it to the last installment, Al Pacino, Diane Keaton, and Talia Shire, the movie banks on audiences caring about all the new faces and plot points. Instead of all the old faithfuls from the 1970s, there’s Andy Garcia, Sofia Coppola, George Hamilton, Joe Mantegna, Bridget Fonda, and Eli Wallach. It doesn’t really feel like as much of a classic, does it?
In this one, you can look forward to tons of violence, lots of new faces, old grudges, and the infamous—and once again, continually spoofed—silent scream from Al Pacino. Maybe the only reason why The Godfather franchise is so famous is because people keep making fun of them and mimicking them—or maybe that’s just wishful thinking on my part. I didn’t enjoy these movies, even though I watched it with my own family, most of whom are Sicilian. At least I didn’t watch this last one with any cousins.
Kiddy Warning: Obviously, you have control over your own children. However, due to violence, I wouldn't let my kids watch it.
