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.

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

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.

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.

Could watch over and over again

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.

Not as good as previous movies

Great movie loved it
