As Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) ages, he finds that being the head of the Corleone crime family isn't getting any easier. He wants his family out of the Mafia, but the mob kingpin (Eli Wallach) isn't eager to let one of the most powerful and wealthy families go legit. Making matters even worse is Michael's nephew, Vincent (Andy Garcia). Not only does Vincent want a piece of the Corleone family's criminal empire, but he also wants Michael's daughter, Mary (Sofia Coppola).

What to Know

Critics Consensus

The final installment of The Godfather saga recalls its predecessors' power when it's strictly business, but underwhelming performances and confused tonality brings less closure to the Corleone story.

Jake Cole Slant Magazine The Godfather films have set home-video standards for decades, and that trend continues with Paramounts astonishing 4K restorations. Mar 18, 2022 Full Review Zaki Hasan San Francisco Chronicle Allows us to take in the full scope of Michael Corleone's (Al Pacino) tragic journey - from optimistic military veteran to cruel crime boss to emotionally shattered old man. Jan 10, 2020 Full Review Noel Murray The Dissolve [...] a crushing disappointment. It's a sluggish movie with nothing to say about the moral rot of the powerful that the first two parts didn't say much better [...] Rated: 2.5/5 May 12, 2014 Full Review Terry Francis Southern Voice (Atlanta) Starts off strong, becomes bogged down in expository dialogue, and finishes with an anti-climactic climax. Rated: 2/4 May 9, 2023 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) It's sad to see a film with so many good things fall under the weight of so many bad things. [Full review in Spanish] Nov 17, 2022 Full Review Andrew Sarris Video Review I consider this third part of the Godfather trilogy a worthy conclusion to the greatest American movie epic of the past two decades -- and an underrated masterpiece in its own right.

Larry K Loved the first two more but this one was great too. A very unexpected ending. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/25/24 Full Review Audience Member people overrate these movies SOOOOOO MUCH and people say that ts one is the worse one acting like all of these films ARE NOT EQUALLY ASS but ts one is the shortest of the trilogy I think so that’s why I think it’s the best one in the trilogy but it’s still long and ass don’t get me wrong Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/03/24 Full Review João Paulo M Não sei porque não gostam desse filme, obvil que não é melhor que o 1 mas ouso dizer que gostei mais desse do que o 2, ele é bem trágico, eu pensava que o Michael ia morrer mas não, eu esperava que o final fosse trágico e foi mais trágico que eu pensava Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Gar L Flat, poorly directed and edited. Script is dull and obvious. It seems like everyone decided to take the money and then not show up emotionally. Coppola's typical nepotism, using his inexperienced daughter Sophia as a supporting actress, further subtracts from the film. Waste of time!!!!!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/23/24 Full Review mark g The first two are iconic and hard to equal, but it sure seemed like this one didn't even try. Talk about flat performances all around. Enough of the patronizing praise. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/15/24 Full Review Damon A Not everybody feels the same about this movie I enjoyed it and love it I think it's the weakest out of the three but out of Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and LeBron James one of them has to be the "worst" right? I think this film is wrongly hated and if you've watched the other two this is a good ending and you should watch this movie. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/03/24 Full Review Read all reviews
