10 Brilliant Characters Trapped In Terrible Movies
2. Vincent Corleone - The Godfather Part III (1990)
The Godfather Part III is the single most disappointing movie sequel ever made, a wasteful drama which feels like a cheap knock-off of its predecessors as opposed to a genuine direct follow-up.
Following the infamous Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) as he attempts to leave his empire behind and make a worthy successor out of his nephew Vincent (Andy Garcia), the film is presented as a final farewell to the film's most iconic characters, and an epilogue to Michael's epic rise-and-fall tale.
But it doesn't feel that way. It feels disjointed and unrelated to its predecessors, strangely uninteresting and nothing more than an uninspired re-tread of what came before.
All that aside, though, it does have one major saving grace in Garcia's Vincent Corleone, a powerhouse of a character who brings to mind the early development of his uncle and steals the film at every turn.
An eager man with a big temper and unwavering loyalty to his family, Vincent could easily carry his own trilogy if he had the chance and hadn't been so royally let-down by the film he ended up headlining.
