"Godfather III was bad, this is worse."
date: March 17, 2006
Mafiosos are expected to be violent, so this flash was basically just a vehicle for violence; forget the story. One doesn't become Don of a family by murdering their Godfather.
There is little reason given for the Godson's "new methods." We are supposed to imagine he's like Santino Corleone, but we aren't given a backstory.
Writing like "You'll become the leader of our pride..." makes it sound like the Lion King more than a Mob story.
There is some good art, but as mentioned by another reviewer, the voice acting is horrible. The story is very much lacking too. Having "the House of the Rising Sun," was hardly appropriate for the ending
Also, Nikolai isn't an Italian name.
Asking the viewer to have patience for this is a joke. No real story, no loose ends tied. Just a bad tribute to a bunch of mob films.
