Trivia:
Most of the rogue characters are based on the key players of the 30-Day Pope conspiracy. Kenzig the banker was based on Roberto Calvi, managing director of the Bank of Milan who was found hanged in London in June 19 1982 for allegedly involved in missing Vatican funds amounting $1.25 billion. Lucchesi was based on Giulio Andreotti, an Italian politician. Gilday was based on Paul Marcinkus, a one time director of the Vatican Bank currently remained silent over the conspiracy. more

Quotes:
[first lines]
Michael Corleone:
[voiceover] My dear children: It is now better than several years since I moved to New York, and I haven't seen you as much as I would like to. I hope you will come to the ceremony of papal honors given for my charitable work. The only wealth in this world is children; more than all the money, power on earth, you are my treasure.

This movie is Rated a 7.2 here by IMDb voters; I feel it should be rated higher. Perhaps a 7.9, which might move it into the top 250 of all, and perhaps it deserves that.
The ending of this movie is sterling, of the highest quality. Pacino really lets rip.
The other actors? Sofia Coppola is, as others have pointed out, not all that great. Talia Shire? She was never that good, and she does an "OK" job here. Both of those actresses got into movies via their relative, Francis Ford Coppola, who directed this film. Nepotism....it shows. How Talia Shire ever got as much work as she has, I will never know....
Keaton is held back a bit in this movie, perhaps so as not to overshadow Pacino. Not one of her best performances.
Andy Garcia? I am not all that big a fan. I think his performance here is overrated a little bit. He is a ham. And Pacino is, too. But he has something Garcia will never have.
But many other rather good roles for a lot of great character actors, who perform well. Those character actors, along with Pacino, are the heart of this movie. That, and a very good script and production values and direction. Seamless direction!
A high quality film. Almost as good a script as parts 1 and 2.
I give it a 7.9.
