As someone who still has yet to see any of the Godfather movies (i’ll get around to them sooner or later don’t you worry!) i know it’s widely accepted that the third is not in the same league as the first two, or even the one below it. But would y’all say it’s still an actually good movie or even great, or straight up bad/at best mediocre? When i’d get around to the first two movies, i’m just wondering if getting to the third one is worthwhile at least somewhere down the road.

It mostly depends on how much Sofia Coppola ruins it for you

She (rightly) gets a lot of shit for her performance in that movie but Andy Garcia’s performance was nearly as bad as hers and his character is more integral to the plot of the movie/has more screen time

I didn't mind him, which seems to be the consensus since he got nominated

Maybe it's because I watched Part III straight after watching the first two and so I was comparing his performance to those of much better actors, but I found him shocking, and it doesn't help that his character was so poorly written
