I agree De Niro. III is not on a level w/I&II and it is unsatisfying. But it is good enough to hold my interest. I do not watch it as repeatedly as I watch reruns of I&II, but it is difficult to come up with a climax. Still, it had its moments. For one, the silent scream is one of the most dramatic scenes in cinematic history.
Well said, Olivant. It's not a bad movie as a stand-alone, and it provides a
denouement for the Saga. But it is nowhere in the same league as I and II.
