i doin't agree with a happy ending...it would go against everything the godfather is. i mean part one was the closest to a happy ending....and it was depressing to watch the dooring being closed on kay. but i do think that al pacino should be back. yes it shows his death in the third one....yes he gave away is title. but...the godfather is about mikes arc. so a fourth one without mike wouldn't really be a godfather to me. and if they do make the fourth one, maybe now would be a great time...considering that de niro isn't geting any younger...not is bruno kirby (clamenza in the flash backs in part 2). hey...lets get abe vigoda to play tessio again...hahahaha..
