timmy b Brings a clearer, more succinct weight to the Film, the Series & to Michael Corleone. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/13/24 Full Review Bryant C Not the best in the franchise but it's certainly better than other movies out there. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/12/24 Full Review Isa B I'll admit, this cut of the film is better than the original cut. The beginning gets right into the plot rather than showing the church ceremony and the party first. I much prefer the ending on this one as well. The title obviously implies that Michael dies, but actually he is dead on the inside and is cursed to a long, lonely life. That is so much better than Michael falling out of a chair. Al Pacino is great in this film. As everyone knows, Sofia Coppola is not. No amount of editing can fix that. The recutting of this film creates some continuity errors unfortunately. At around 1:24, when Michael Corleone is with his children in Italy, they are wearing the same clothes as in the scene at 1:42. In the original cut, it was all one scene. In Coda, it is supposed to be two separate days. Another one can be spotted when Michael offers Kay a piece of cake which hadn't yet been cut. There was also a lot of rehashing of lines from the first Godfather film for nostalgic purposes. Like, "Enzo the Baker" or "Now they'll fear you". So many elements of the plot are so over-the-top it's ridiculous. The helicopter assassination attempt on the whole commission, Vincent knows how to ride a horse and dresses up like an NYPD cop and hits Joey Zaza on broad daylight and of course, gets away with it. Oh, please. This film was never going to be as good as the first two, but it could have been a lot better than it was. That goes for either cut. Again, I do prefer this cut, but it is probably only 1 point better in greatness. Perhaps, if Francis Ford Coppola had been given the 6 months he asked for to write the script instead of the 6 weeks they gave him, it might have been better. Either way, the two Godfather films should have been left alone. However, I still recommend. 74/100 Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/07/24 Full Review Mike B Great film but not many changes from the original. Its faster paced due to this but, then lose some storyline due to the cutting out Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/24/24 Full Review Audience Member A very satisfying conclusion the story Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/25/24 Full Review OzricAurora Fixes some problems, but creates a few new ones at the same time.
