Excuse me so you're saying he didn't look like an older Michael Corleone?!
what do you mean.... he didnt resemble him physically ? or his mental was different? I guess he was so different because he was a changed man. He was older; sick and filled with regret
They waited so long to make the movie so the actors would get older i guess.

he didn't look, talk or act like the Michael of the first two films. He was detached from the feel of the first two movies. Obviously Pacino was becoming a caricature of himself and he was different as an actor at that point in his career. So no he didn't resemble the character of the first two films.

They don't need to wait for anything. Marlon Brando was made to look 70 yrs old bruh. U think he was an old man when he filmed part 1? Come on yall, think mcfly, think
I think what you're saying breh, is that this version of michael, even as an old man, had no attachment to whom michael was as a younger cat. Like you couldn't even see shades of the old michael or why Pacino was playing him that way and why he was written that way. I feel you, one of many reasons I do not like this movie

Or maybe he was playing amuch older guilt ridden Michael trying to find redemption after killing his brother. Al Pacino today is still a great actor.

fukkin Mcfly. About time.
He can be when he wants to be. His hit to miss ratio is definitely pointing the wrong way these days but he's still great when he wants to be
thats the way i saw it
that and the fact that he failed to go legit and make a better future for his kids away from all his families bullshyt business. Just like his father failed him

Last thing I saw with him was that Phil Spector thing on HBO and he was good in that.
i see now that they waited, copolla did not want to make another movie, he finally caved when his career took a dive....i still think they tried to portray a different michael
Like I said, hit and miss breh..there's that but then there's stand up guys, jack and jill, righteous kill, etc.. stuff like that. When he wants to be great he's still great but he's had a lot more stinkers since the 2000s started. I do want to see Danny Collins tho
True but it wasnt a Michael true to Michael. I'm not saying he couldn't be filled with guilt, and hate on his heart and a lot of other things because Michael is a terrible human being lol but there needs to be an honesty to how he's portrayed and the choices he makes even years later. Even Pacino said that he never felt Michael should've been remorseful or guilt ridden because that's not who he saw Michael becoming, even as an old man. He said that when he was on inside the actor's studio years ago
I agree it wasn't the script that made Pacino fukk up his performance as Michael it was his own doing. Dude played Michael like an extrovert throughout the movie when Michael was alwys much more introverted. And he didnt speak with the same educated language as Michael. I hate part 3 cuz GF 1 and 2 are my favorite movies. Also how do you stab some one with the leg of a pair of glasses?
