Defending THE GODFATHER, PART III

Naturally, she was flooded with comments along the lines of “you’ve never seen The Godfather?” and “wow, the first two are so good!” Along with these were firm warnings to “just watch the first two” and not to “even bother with Part III.” Well, I found myself getting surprisingly riled up by these kinds of comments. But, to be honest, they really didn’t come as much of a surprise. The Godfather, Part III has been maligned for three decades now by critics, audiences, episodes of The Sopranos, and on and on. But is it really the raging dumpster fire we’ve been conditioned to believe it is?
