Directed by Francis Ford CoppolaRated R

For some reason, even though i'd never considered it to be close to the brilliance of the first two films, whenever I would hear people talking about how bad it was, I would try to point out that while it may be vastly inferior to the first two films, it was still good. However, after a recent viewing, i've come to the realization that it's just, well, not. The problems with the film are numerous, from the uninteresting plot (where'd the Mafia go?) to the completely out of place score (Nina Rota, we miss you) to the horribly miscast Sofia Coppola as Michael's daughter Mary (I still love the films you make, Sofia!). It really was a film that, plain and simple, didn't need to and shouldn't have been made.
