For the fiftieth anniversary of The Godfather, I'm gonna defend what some would call the indefensible: Francis Ford Coppola and Mario Puzo's The Godfather, Part III, and The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone.
Both movies have their flaws, but I'll argue how those flaws are hidden assets and that the movies have earned a place alongside their (still superior) predecessors.
