She was not good,, but she wasn't worse than the plot. The Andy Garcia "*******" who was retconned from the book is idiotic. The catholic church plot was ambitious but a complete failure. Kay and Connie are in the film with nothing to do and provide nothing, but they stupidly refused to pay Bobby Duvall, so the 2nd most important character in the saga is absent.
I'm curious if OP (or anyone here) watched the veesion Coppola recently re-edited of GF3 that supposedly improves the terrible plot, or the crappy original 1990 version. I have not yet watched the new edit of gf3.
Its gotten some good early buzz actually. From a few people that have seen it.
Agree on your points.
Sofia wasn't good, but didn't sink the movie on her own
First cousin love story was misplaced
Church business was a convoluted mess
Not having Duvall was a killer. Hamilton brought zilch.
