Mario Puzo’s THE GODFATHER, Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone Limited Edition Steelbook

What a way to end the Godfather saga. Great film with a sad ending.

I'm happy with this re-cut, and I'm glad Coppola did it. If you want to learn how the world really works, especially in this era of the impending Great Reset, you could do far worse than watch this move. The references to the vast wealth and power of the Vatican are timely. I love the reference to how much real estate they control. The movie was loosely based on David Yallop's work on the Propaganda Due secret society and the assassination of Pope John Paul I. Back to the recut. Yes, the movie still has flaws, but Francis muted the silliness and made it more realistic. I love the fact he did his best to minimize the the ridiculous helicopter assassination scene. If you watch closely, you can really see the references to Yallop's book/ P2 incident, they are more prominent in this cut than the original. Anyway, the little kiddies giving Coda bad reviews don't see the forest through the trees. This is a much better movie now in relation to the original version, and it tops off the modern history lesson that undergirds the Godfather trilogy from start to finish. Bene! Fini.

The best movie, best acting, best script! Incredible film.

I am a loyal Godfather fan and was very disappointed with III. Hearing that Coppola was given permission to reedit Godfather III, I was eager to see what he could do with it. Having watched it, I am thrilled with the result. There are of course some things that can't change; Michael's hair for one thing. Yes, it's silly to focus on hair. But it was one of those nagging things that diminished Pacino's portrayal. Sophia Coppola's acting is another. She is still as wooden as ever; I can't believe he couldn't see this in the dailies. Yet, this is so much better. Coppola did a great job. He minimized Sophia's exposure so it wasn't so painful to watch. He gave a new beginning and rearranged the movie so it was cohesive and flowed. He changed some of the music score and brought back that Godfather feel. He gave callbacks to the other movies that help to maintain continuity. While the movie still has flaws, it's now worthy of being a Godfather movie. This is the version that I will finally buy. Good job, Mr. Coppola.

Watched this yesterday, 12/8 and found the new version had cut many of the extraneous scenes which were unnecessary. Coppola also rearranged scenes so things flowed better. I kind of enjoyed the original III but this one I really liked. It gave closure to the Corleone family. The ending for me always was on the steps of the Opera House with that anguish of Michael as his life comes back to haunt him. That silent scream is still haunting. Then in the original it was ended as an old man who just falls over from a chair but now he just is left sitting there. Rather telling in that Michael died many years before - the good "kid" of Godfather I before he got embroiled in the family business and then it changed when he picked up a gun. This took the story in a complete circle back to Sicily where Michael gets his finale. However, as previously mentioned it just worked better by rearranging and editing. Now I recall when this movie was first released and Sofia Coppola was savaged and I felt it was entirely unfair. I thought she did a good job in her role and she did not take anything away from the movie. Her innocence was refreshing. I remembered that during Connie's baby's baptism that was Sofia as a baby (yes that baby was supposed to be a boy) and now here she is again as a young adult. Lots of circles in this movie all based on the Corleone family history. So yes I liked it.

Could watch over and over again

I'm sure I'm not the only one who's noticed that virtually every bad movie from the past seems to miraculously undergo a transformation of opinion 10-20 years later. This isn't a coincidence of course. It's just that the reviews of reissued discs will obviously tend to be weighted to people who liked the film and have come to purchase it. People who didn't pass it by. The third Godfather entry while certainly not a "bad" film, was just as certainly so inferior to its predecessors, as to make it seem worse than it was I suppose. As a fan of both "arthouse" fare and psychotronic crap like She Devils On Wheels, I can usually appreciate a movie on more than one level, and such is the case with the new edit of Godfather III, with its new, unwieldy title. To be brief, the new edit absolutely plays better than the original, and the transfer looks significantly better. I think this is probably a no-brainer buy for fans of the film. For me, it raised my personal rating from a 4.5 to a 6.5. However, the difference is certainly not enough to coax most of the films detractors into changing their minds. While the film is now a bit more compact and cogent, virtually all of its flaws are as vibrant and wince-inducing as ever. To get it out of the way first, yes...poor Sophia is still awful. Although I have to say, that the very quick reaction shot of her in tears at the end of the film is surprisingly convincing. It shows a bit of promise hidden under all that inexperience. Don't forget, Jessica Lang's feature debut was almost as bad. And for me, the worst part of the entire running time was the bizarre and inexplicably awful portrayal of Connie Corleone by Talia Shire. Talia is a talented and perfectly competent actress, who was brilliant in the same role 15 years earlier. I'm reasonably sure that the idea of portraying her character as Maria Ouspenskaya from The Wolf Man, came from Coppola. And yes, most of the eye-rollingly awful dialog (..but you became my horror) remains chillingly intact. To the positive, the ridiculous ending shot of poor Al falling out of his garden chair (eliciting huge laughs and groans when I saw it in the theater), has been thankfully snipped. I've always gone by the credo that the only truly bad film is a boring one, and I don't think most people would be bored by The Godfather Coda. So in that forgiving spirit, I give this a barely passing grade for those who are curious and haven't seen it yet. For those who have and hated it, you still will.

I saw this movie, when it were known as The Godfather Part III, in 1990 & found it rather disjointed. Thankfully this 2020 cut of the film is miles better &, although the sub-title "The Death Of Michael Corleone" is rather misleading, it's still a fascinating study of how a powerful man still can't go legitimate with his business interests no matter how hard he tries. An excellent film

As others have said, this is a re-edit of The Godfather Part III. Don't bother to buy this if you already have the original cut. In my opinion (and this is very subjective) the cuts in the opening work well but the revised ending doesn't. In particular the subtitle of this version "The Death of Michael Corleone" is misleading since the last scene in this new version is cut before Michael is dead & it is not absolutely clear that he is on the point of death. I found the original Part III an excellent film, not quite up to the standard of the first two parts but nowhere near as bad as some people made out. This new version is so similar that the same comment is unavoidable. This version is about ten minutes shorter; most of the shrinkage is in the opening where no harm is done and there is some benefit in terms of coming more immediately to the tensions created by the plot.

Steelbook precioso!
