I tend to agree, but I never thought that Sophia's acting was as bad (or even bad) as some Board members portray it. She was playing an 18 year old daughter of one of the wealthiest and powerful men in the world. So, I don't know what some viewers were expecting.

I think that some of criticisms are really a function of the story line, story board, and script. I and II spoiled us because one of I and II's enduring qualities was the selection of actors who met our expectations of the physical appearance of those characters.For one, the actor who portrayed the character (whose name I can't recall) who was murdered by Calo with his glasses not only didn't look Italian, but his voice sounded decidedly German (like a character from Hogan's Heroes). We didn't care for the George Hamilton character because we were expecting a Tom Hagen in the form of Robert Duvall.
