I once thought this was the greatest trilogy ever made. To be honest I am not sure if I still think that. If you could choose two parts from every trilogy or series ever made I think it would be true. 'The Godfather' and 'The Godfather: Part II' belong to the greatest classics, but 'The Godfather: Part III' is just a nice movie and compared to the other it is not that good.
I think the original 'Star Wars' trilogy does a better job, because 'Star Wars' and 'The Empire Strikes Back' are also great movies, and personally I think 'Return of the Jedi' comes very close to greatness. It is at least as entertaining as the other two. The same I can say for the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy. Although I am not a fan like some others I have to admit that all three movies are very good. 'The Fellowship of the Ring' and 'The Return of the King' are the great movies here, and although I didn't like 'The Two Towers' very much I have to say it is very entertaining and comes a lot closer to the other two than 'The Godfather: Part III' does to the first 'Godfather' parts.
Still, this is at least one of the greatest trilogies ever made and as a complete work it is extraordinary. Of the trilogies I mentioned above this one has the best film making, with director Francis Ford Coppola and cinematographer Gordon Willis, and the best acting ensemble. Great actors like Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro, James Caan, Robert Duvall and Diane Keaton give terrific performances. Maybe the third part has some flaws, including Sofia Coppola and her performance, it stays interesting the entire time. If you love the movies you can not miss this influential trilogy.
