I promise you the one thing this movie is not is predictable

What if your dad was a piece of shit… in spaaaaaace?!

Letterboxd doesn’t have a listing for Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone, but that’s what I watched. Improves the flow and pacing of The Godfather Part 3, does not improve Sofia Coppola’s monumentally bad performance, but it doesn’t really matter. “Not as good as the two top-5 all time films before it” has always been one of those things that makes this movie almost impossible to judge on its own merits, but its enjoyable enough to tack on to every 3rd or 4th rewatch of 1 and 2.

Every scene, every conversation, every flashback to Young Vito, they’re all done at such a wildly high level, but we all know that once we start the movie we’re counting down the minutes to hearing the GOAT John Cazale yell “I can handle things! I’m smaahht!”
