I rarely read Part IV discussion, because I don't want to know anything about the plot before it comes out (Im the same way w/ Star Wars movies), but when I saw this, I had to post. Although it is true that a bad fourth film will bring down the trilogy, I must disagree with JGeoff, with all due respect (hand kiss), if FFC makes an attempt to make up for Part III (although, I don't look down on it as much as others do) and it covers either Vito building the original Corleone empire, how Vincent ran the family, or the years between II and III, or a mix of 2 or all 3 of these topics, then it could potentially rival I and II.

There was this kid I grew up with -- he was younger than me. Sorta looked up to me -- you know. We did our first work together -- worked our way out of the street. Things were good, we made the most of it. During Prohibition -- we ran molasses into Canada -- made a fortune -- you father, too. As much as anyone, I loved him -- and trusted him. Later on he had an idea -- to build a city out of a desert stop-over for GI's on the way to the West Coast. That kid's name was Moe Green -- and the city he invented was Las Vegas. This was a great man -- a man of vision and guts. And there isn't even a plaque -- or a signpost -- or a statue of him in that town! Someone put a bullet through his eye. No one knows who gave the order -- when I heard it, I wasn't angry; I knew Moe -- I knew he was head-strong, talking loud, saying stupid things. So when he turned up dead -- I let it go. And I said to myself, this is the business we've chosen -- I didn't ask who gave the order -- because it had nothing to do with business!
