*THIS REVIEW CONTAINS MINOR SPOILERS, KINDA*

I was excited to find out that Spicediver made an edit of Godfather Part III. I was disheartened though when I saw he only cut 8 minutes and the cuts made were mainly to polish the film. Godfather III is terrible and can probably never be saved fully. So I watched The Godfather Epilogue hoping that the minor tweaks could at least make it more enjoyable.

What I Liked:
The restructured opening. I loved the way you cut together the alternate opening. This is how Godfather III should have started, without a doubt.
Cutting Andrew Hagan.
The overall tightening of the storyline and characters.

What I Didn’t Like:
There are still plenty of things left in that made me wince. Examples:
Lucky Coat Guy
Al Pacino’s over acting during his stroke (“Thunder can’t hurt!”)
“I love you cuz.” “I love you too cuz.”
Andy Garcia’s ham-fisted “ZASA!”
Mary looking at obvious movie stills of Apollonia in Michael’s scrapbook.
Al Neri stroking his gun on the plane.
These may seem minor but they really bothered me. Sorry.

Just a note to say that the revised version if the Godfather Epilogue released January 2013 addresses most of these points raised by Neglify, and includes some additional changes and remixes as well. Running time is now approx. 160 minutes.
