Ten Reasons Why The Godfather, Part III Can Go Fuck Itself (after viewing only the first hour):
10. We learn absolutely nothing new about the enigmatic and historically rich Corleone family other than Sonny has a hot-headed bastard child, which is not a surprise.
9. The whole thing feels so forced, like one of those sitcom reunions. Not a very proud paycheck to cash.
8. George Hamilton
7. New York mob bosses want a piece of Michael’s legitimate business transaction because Puzo and Coppola couldn’t come up with a better contrivance in order to get Michael back into underworld dealings.
6. The death foreshadowing is even artificially packaged: Instead of peeling himself an orange, a housekeeper pours Minute Maid for Michael at the breakfast table.
5. Puzo and Coppola recycled way too much dialogue, i.e. mob bosses wanting to “wet their beaks” and Michael lecturing the bastard to “never tell blah blah what you’re thinking outside the family,” bullshit.
4. Michael is dressed ridiculous.
3. Kay Adams is dressed even worse.
2. Sofia Coppola
1. Michael spends half his screen time weeping over the death of Fredo, yet you never see him blink once over the loss of Apolonia. This is not the jaded, exacting, committed Godfather we knew and loved.
