Francis Ford Coppola's painstaking 30th anniversary restoration/re-edit of "The Godfather, Part III," the stunning third installment in his crime saga, finds a weary 60-year-old Don Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) attempting to go straight for his family's sake and to finalize a complex business deal with the Vatican. However, as Corleone tries to get out, "they pull [him] back in," with tragic consequences. Co-stars Diane Keaton, Andy Garcia, Talia Shire, Sofia Coppola, Eli Wallach, George Hamilton, Joe Mantegna. 158 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks: English. Review: Great Film - What a way to end the Godfather saga. Great film with a sad ending. Review: I'm glad Coppola did it. - I'm happy with this re-cut, and I'm glad Coppola did it. If you want to learn how the world really works, especially in this era of the impending Great Reset, you could do far worse than watch this move. The references to the vast wealth and power of the Vatican are timely. I love the reference to how much real estate they control. The movie was loosely based on David Yallop's work on the Propaganda Due secret society and the assassination of Pope John Paul I. Back to the recut. Yes, the movie still has flaws, but Francis muted the silliness and made it more realistic. I love the fact he did his best to minimize the the ridiculous helicopter assassination scene. If you watch closely, you can really see the references to Yallop's book/ P2 incident, they are more prominent in this cut than the original. Anyway, the little kiddies giving Coda bad reviews don't see the forest through the trees. This is a much better movie now in relation to the original version, and it tops off the modern history lesson that undergirds the Godfather trilogy from start to finish. Bene! Fini.

Still has flaws, but so much, much better
I am a loyal Godfather fan and was very disappointed with III. Hearing that Coppola was given permission to reedit Godfather III, I was eager to see what he could do with it. Having watched it, I am thrilled with the result. There are of course some things that can't change; Michael's hair for one thing. Yes, it's silly to focus on hair. But it was one of those nagging things that diminished Pacino's portrayal. Sophia Coppola's acting is another. She is still as wooden as ever; I can't believe he couldn't see this in the dailies. Yet, this is so much better. Coppola did a great job. He minimized Sophia's exposure so it wasn't so painful to watch. He gave a new beginning and rearranged the movie so it was cohesive and flowed. He changed some of the music score and brought back that Godfather feel. He gave callbacks to the other movies that help to maintain continuity. While the movie still has flaws, it's now worthy of being a Godfather movie. This is the version that I will finally buy. Good job, Mr. Coppola.

Godfather Coda
Watched this yesterday, 12/8 and found the new version had cut many of the extraneous scenes which were unnecessary. Coppola also rearranged scenes so things flowed better. I kind of enjoyed the original III but this one I really liked. It gave closure to the Corleone family. The ending for me always was on the steps of the Opera House with that anguish of Michael as his life comes back to haunt him. That silent scream is still haunting. Then in the original it was ended as an old man who just falls over from a chair but now he just is left sitting there. Rather telling in that Michael died many years before - the good "kid" of Godfather I before he got embroiled in the family business and then it changed when he picked up a gun. This took the story in a complete circle back to Sicily where Michael gets his finale. However, as previously mentioned it just worked better by rearranging and editing. Now I recall when this movie was first released and Sofia Coppola was savaged and I felt it was entirely unfair. I thought she did a good job in her role and she did not take anything away from the movie. Her innocence was refreshing. I remembered that during Connie's baby's baptism that was Sofia as a baby (yes that baby was supposed to be a boy) and now here she is again as a young adult. Lots of circles in this movie all based on the Corleone family history. So yes I liked it.

A Notch Above The First Take!
When I saw this film in its initial screening, I had mixed feelings about it, where I saw it as 2 notches below the first films in the series. On one hand, the production quality was superb and second to none (spared no expense), as well as the acting and directing were all excellent (including the Coppola child). But what I found lacking was in the story, for it didn't completely tie into the first two films. In other words, there was a huge gap in the family timeline, or where there were now holes in the chronological story and characters missing. This film helped to fix that, and despite there still being gaps in the editing, overall the story made more sense as well as amounting to being more seamless. Overall, I now see this film as being 1 notch below the first films instead of 2 below.

A Violation of Character in Several Respects
At no point in Godfather I or II did you ever think, "Vito Corleone would never do that," or "Michael Corleone would never do that." Yet I found myself thinking this very thing at several points in this film. Competently directed, but poorly written and conceived.

I saw this movie, when it were known as The Godfather Part III, in 1990 & found it rather disjointed. Thankfully this 2020 cut of the film is miles better &, although the sub-title "The Death Of Michael Corleone" is rather misleading, it's still a fascinating study of how a powerful man still can't go legitimate with his business interests no matter how hard he tries. An excellent film

As others have said, this is a re-edit of The Godfather Part III. Don't bother to buy this if you already have the original cut. In my opinion (and this is very subjective) the cuts in the opening work well but the revised ending doesn't. In particular the subtitle of this version "The Death of Michael Corleone" is misleading since the last scene in this new version is cut before Michael is dead & it is not absolutely clear that he is on the point of death. I found the original Part III an excellent film, not quite up to the standard of the first two parts but nowhere near as bad as some people made out. This new version is so similar that the same comment is unavoidable. This version is about ten minutes shorter; most of the shrinkage is in the opening where no harm is done and there is some benefit in terms of coming more immediately to the tensions created by the plot.

The kids are all grown up. Daughter Mary plays a big part in helping her father in the family going legitimate. All casino and gambling 🎰 properties are liquidated. Michael invests millions 💰 into the Vatican. The church ⛪️ is a powerful tool and a very big organization. Vatican 🏦 is a money empire. Mary gets close to a fiery Vincent, who wants to be an enforcer to uncle Michael. A war is inevitable, Michael thought he was out and they pull him right back in. All this leads to an explosive 🧨 conclusion.
