More importantly, some stories reach a natural conclusion, while others are stretched interminably to the detriment of the original source material. GFIII falls squarely in the latter category. For years, GF and GFII stood, not as separate movies, but one epic father-son story set against the backdrop of crime in America.

There are a great many memorable and well done moments in this film that are upper-echelon film making. Unfortunately, the more average moments are forced to compete with the GF legacy. it's a no-win. but, it was an admirable effort, nonetheless. and definitely in that year's Top 5.<BR/><BR/>i've always Mark A.

I would have preferred such a mediocre rehash to have been presided over by a hack if it had to be done at all since frankly, it feels like the work of a, well ... uh, hack.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2593801517891533127.post-45955132495545965582008-09-27T11:57:00.000-04:002008-09-27T11:57:00.000-04:00Thank you, Alan.

Too much was made of Sophia's performance and people are too willing to overlook how good it it because it isn't its predecessors. I've always felt the same way as you about this film. One good thing may have come from the thrashing it and Sophia too at the time of its release, however. Sophia has become one of the best directors of her generation.Andrew D.
