“I finally saw it ! As a total devotee of the two previous installments, I avoided seeing the third one, on purpose, people I respect had told me about the disappointment and, quite honestly, I didnu0026#39;t go there. Last night I did and surprise, surprise, it moved me no end. Maybe because I havenu0026#39;t seen the other two in four years. Yes at times is more Ken Russell than Francis Ford Coppola and in my book thatu0026#39;s not a bad thing. I was, however, a bit taken aback by the healing in Pacinou0026#39;s Michael as far as Keatonu0026#39;s Kay is concerned. As it nothing had ever happened, while in Diane Keaton the memory of that pain is always present. Talia Shire is a lot of fun as a sort of Madame Sin. Raf Vallone, superb as the doomed Pope John Paul I and then a bit puzzling casting choices that I think they me code for something. George Hamilton, for instance, takes over from where Rubert Duvall left off. Helmut Berger plays the head of the Vatican Bank. Helmut Berger! Just as curious as to find Troy Donahue in The Godfather Part II – All in all, Iu0026#39;m really glad Iu0026#39;ve seen it and Iu0026#39;m sure Iu0026#39;ll see it again.”
