@MN5 The Godfather one I just don't get. For sure G3 was not a patch on 1 & 2 but it was not the complete turkey that it seems to be labelled as. I reckon the worst thing about it (barring Sofia Coppola) was simply that it was not 1 or 2.

I used to think that, and always thought it was only missing Duvall, but I did a recent rewatch and it's just bad, Sofia Coppola is actually the one thing not as bad as everyone makes out - everything else, the story, the direction, etc was.

Anyway, it got the Godfather one wrong, by putting 2 as higher than 1, that's just trying to be too cool for school B/S. The Godfather is a perfect movie.

Catogrande

@Nepia We can certainly agree that The Godfather was a perfect movie. G3 did not have the same compelling narrative of the other two and it was missing some notable characters. Not from a Puzo original might be part of the problem. Stand alone just an average gangster film, seem worse. In comparison to 1&2, it is nowhere.

@MN5 back to the future 2 shouldn’t be that high. 3 is much better. Neither a patch on one.

I said pretty accurate, there's definitely minor niggles.

So overrated

Catogrande

@MN5 @Tim Slightly off at a tangent but connected due to Leone, Morricone, a long playing time and the title, but Once Upon a Time in America is also well worth the time investment, though the ending is a bit odd.
