I think what bothers me most about Godfather 3 is that it has MOMENTS of greatness, almost like seeing a diamond covered in mud. Every once in a while - BAM - you get a flash of brilliance, only to see it disappear again.

For example, I've always loved the scene between Kay and Michael where he's trying to justify his life choices and she is probably the first person to be honest with him about what kind of man that he truly is.

Then it would be buried under the mud of scenes like the gnocchi-making one.
