Having just recently watched GF3 for the 2nd time, I must say that I did enjoy it. Comparing it to the first two films is difficult because, upholding their standards, it's not nearly as good. However, it's still a very good film with a complex plot. It is not a film without its flaws. George Hamilton's character is a complete waste. Duvall would have made the film much more engaging -it's too bad they couldn't work out a contract. But I was glad to see the humanity return that Michael had seemingly lost since halfway through GF1. And I really liked the way Kay talked to Michael. My favorite scene was the Atlantic City hit, followed by the ending sequence in the Vatican, London, etc. I thought the ending brought a fitting end to the 3 films. Michael, despite all of his previous power and wealth, died alone & unfulfilled.
Michael: Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in. Our true enemy has not yet shown his face.
