...one of the most boring films I've ever struggled through. Boring story, boring dialogue, boring camera, boring acting. Even the acts of violence are oddly boring. There's a severe lack of energy in every part of the movie.
I'm amazed this has a 7.6 on here. It's terrible. Al Pacino seems to be playing a different character to the Michael Corleone we knew in the first two films....so different that '16 years later' can't quite explain it.
After 40-odd minutes I had to start skipping forward...3 hours of this is unbearable. Reminds me of 1963's The Leopard or 1981's Prince of the City...similarly highly-rated but I found to be soul-crushingly boring.
Gets a point for providing Sopranos with a memorable meme ("just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in!"). Michael's silent scream at the end was pretty good too, only the scene that immediately preceded it was laughable.
It's frankly best to ignore Part III entirely. Parts I & II tell a fine story without the need for a clumsy out-of-character epilogue.
