I watched some of 3 last night before retiring. 3 has some weaknesses I don't like.
I have never accepted George Hamilton in his role, and, on top of that, I didn't much like the role that was created in GF 3.
The other thing that rubs me the wrong way is the matriarchal emphasis in the Corleone family, with the rise of Talia Shire with her role as Connie C.
Also, I though the cousin love angle was totally necessary. Too much about Michael's family.
For me, in GF I & II, family was part of the story, but was not "the story" as I see it was in GF 3.
Kay & Michael still in love... I mean, who gives a sh*t!!
To me, this is the most significant criticism of many. If you can't cast Duvall/Hagen, why do you feel the need to create this replacement who adds nothing. And George Hamilton? He was cheeseball even back then.
