I would have welcomed a GFIII and even LIKED it had not the whole Vincent plot been added. There was enough intrigue to go around without that.

I still think it would have been good if Coppola had done a pre-quel in GFIII and traced the years between The Don's early rise to crime and his position as underworld kingpin. And if there's ever a IV, that's what I really hope happens. Hey, DiNero's still alive, right??

I really resented Vincent. And I resented Eli Wallach playing his part like he was Topo Gigio. I didn't have much of a problem with the palace intrigue-type plot. And Sofia didn't even bother me all that much. Vincent and Don Altobelli (or whatever his name was) did.
