Critics Consensus

The Godfather, Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone pulls the audience back into Francis Ford Coppola's epic gangster saga with a freshly -- albeit slightly -- edited version of its final installment.

Not enough has been changed to turn around anyone who already dislikes it, but in cutting out 13 minutes of runtime, the director has excised many of the small moments that made it uniquely memorable in the first place.

Much is tailored to the needs of drama in "Godfather, Coda." But one cannot manufacture urgency in a film that lacks the kind of cosmic conflict of its two predecessors.

It's often gripping, sometimes masterful, and almost never betrays its history as the work of a wayward giant scrambling back toward respectability after a long decade lost in the wilderness.

What it does well, it does very well, offering an alternative closure to one of cinema's most complex characters. [Full review in spanish]

The descent of Michael to different hells. Each one more tragic. Each one more profound. [Full review in Spanish]

4/5

For all its flashy flaws, perhaps we should be grateful Coppola scrabbled so close to a legitimate last act.

This recut dramatically improves the film and makes it feel more in line with the first two films

Although it couldn't help but feel especially filmed in the 90s, being separated from the iconic old days by quite a bit, The Godfather, Coda (having not seen the theatrical Part III) gives the Corleone family an emotional sendoff thanks to Al Pacino and Andy Garcia's commanding performances.

So, I guess I was just tricked into watching Godfather 3 again. And the title is a whole lie. They just flash him on the screen years after the story ends with the assumption that that is his last moment in life???? Weird. The whole incestuous story line was revolting. That could have been eliminated. Horrid. Absolutely horrid. The movie is dated 2020, so I actually thought it was a new entry. But then Sofia shows up on my screen looking the same age as in Godfather 3, so I had to run to Google to see how they tricked me into watching a movie I despise again. If this is a new cut, then I suppose I hate it less than my memory of the original Godfather 3, but I still don't plan on seeing it again. The first 2 entries in this saga are utterly sublime. This didn't have to be made at all.

Though I've seen The Godfather numerous times and Godfather II more than once, before last night I had never seen "Coda" nor the earlier Godfather III version. Wow, what a stinker. I found the dialog to be idiotic, the acting wooden, the plot boring and barely comprehensible. Surreal to see this movie, so very, very far from the brilliance of the first two films. After sitting bored through the first hour, I started laughing during the heliborne assault and laughed all the way to the end. This is a truly dreadful and worthless waste of 2 1/2 hours.
