This one?
My issue with 3 is it substantially lowers the overall quality of the entire series. The first movie is about the title of Godfather passing from Vito to Michael. The second is released 2 years later, shows how Michael deals with being Don, while also showing Vito's backstory. It's both a sequel and a prequel.
So now we have a series of 2 films, possibly the greatest ever made. Then 16 years later we get the third movie. What was this movie even about? We've got Michael as the aging Don, Andy Garcia as the anti-Michael, and some incest drama. I don't really remember the main mob related plot, something to do with the Vatican?I did like Andy Garcia, but I don't think the story of Santino's offspring needed to be told.
Anyway, now suddenly Godfather is not a nearly flawless series, it's just another trilogy of movies with a predictably disappointing third act. If the first two movies are 10/10, and the third is 7/10 or 6/10, the average score of the series takes a major hit.
