The Phantom is bad, but more than anything else, it's inessential. The plot is only tangentially related to the other movies, and the interesting characters either die at the end, or were already familiar from the original movies.
If I rebooted the trilogy, I would have started around where the second movie begins.
And…

I would be very happy
if the Godfather House never went to strangers.

CHOMPS, was the guy wearing very short flourescent hot pants?

Am I the only one who thought Kay was the worst part of both the Godfather movies? I could never understand what her character would see in Michael Corleone. She would need to be a lot dumber, or a lot more ruthless.

OK

@Flaubert.

Did you mean "cold" or "gold"? Either way- we'll have plenty of time to pry them out of your hands after you die from all the lead poisoning.

Periodically, there are attempts to justify the existence of the Godfather III. This must not stand. Remember

And that album FAILED.

Are you trying to steal Tarky's schtick?

Football. And Red, which was the worst movie I've seen in months.

I understand it. Tarky believes that the following things are bad:

I remember disliking this movie when I saw in the theater - too mannered, way too much Cameron Diaz. But it stuck in my mind for a long times afterwards, and I enjoyed watching it on cable recently. It's like American history done by Jean-Pierre Jeunut: baroque, oversized, and crazy. And Daniel Day-Lewis is great.

Goodfellas

My God, that Sharon Stone character. Were we supposed to sympathize with her? One of the most unlikeable movie characters ever.

I don't think Scorcese's overrated. But you know what is? The Departed. All of the good stuff in the movie is taken scene-for-scene from Infernal Affairs. Scorcese adds a hammy Jack Nicolson performance, a preposterous 3-way love affair, and an ending that ruins the point of the original.

Gwen Stefani worked at Best Buy?

I just saw this movie yesterday. It rules.

I might ask you the same question, "Bruce." I 've been committed to posting last on this thread since November of 2009.

I don't care much for Tom Cruise - but lets not talk about Ray Liotta as if he were Laurence effing Olivier. He's the Mark Hamill of mobster movies.
