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: Best movie - The best movie, best acting, best script! Incredible film. 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.

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.

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.

DONT READ REVIEWS ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE REMAKE. ITS A REVIEW ABOUT THE MOVIE
I agree that the remake of the original version didnt change much except the clarity being a little better but I never cared, nor expected, some type of miracle transformation. The movie itself is a classic. It is still 5 stars even though the 1st one will always be the best. The attention to detail and originality was something people have not seen in Hollywood movies and may never see again after the 1st one. The real Mafia had to be consulted and approve the movie. Not the story itself, but certain Italian slurs and some were only allowed to be used by real Italians in the movie. The way Italians were presented had to show that it was about the Mafia without making all Italians look bad. Gianni Russo was the one who connected the producers to the Mafia and he ended up playing Carlo Rizzi, without any acting experience. He did amazing because he acted out what was happening in real life and had to be himself for the most part. Besides those differences, Godfather III was a great movie which I have watched numerous times. It represented Italians as they were at that time, and affected by living in America which made them more American than traditional Italians. U cant expect that originality if it wasn't the case any more in reality. But the reality was very different and organized mafia was no longer publicly accepted, so to speak. And thats how it was portrayed in the movie which was as true to reality, with the knowledge they had.

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.
