...On its own, GFIII isn't a bad film, but it can't compare with its illustrious predecessors. It has many of the great elements of GF and II, but the plot just falls apart, and the script is weak...
On its own, it is a TERRIBLE film. "The plot just falls apart and the script is weak." What's 'not bad' about that?
It is ONLY the elements (more like remnants) of GF and GFII, that even make it worthy of a second glance.
Can anyone just try to imagine this movie minus the familiarity of the Corleone history and the reprisal of so many of the characters? It would've been an even bigger joke than it already is.
Al Pacino's statement is correct. Nice try by FFC, but the audience just wasn't ready to accept Michael in that way.
(And apparently, neither was Al Pacino!!)
