True JCrusher, Coppola wasn't keen on doing it for 16 years because I too reckon, he was perfectly happy how II brought closure and completed the story until he got into financial strife with his flops and winery problems

While the gap may have been too long, it still drew an audience mostly negative though but made them money

My two cents worth!
1. where was the magic and the platinum standards set by GF and II
2. listless and indifferent
3. not comprehending fully the value of Tom Hagen / Robert Duvall Biggest mistake
4. convoluted and unbalanced plot
5. inventing new lame characters
6. picking actors who were poor choices, were unsuitable for their characters unlike his terrific previous casting
7. George Hamilton for Robert Duvall Seriously?
8. poor performances comes back to his directing or lack thereof
9. incest and putting us off gnocchi!
