As JoeyB rightly acknowledged, Part III is is a different kind of film. On its own it would be a competent, well made movie, with many positive aspects (Andy Garcia, regretful Pacino). The problem lies in its being the sequel to two of the greatest movies ever made (although Sofia Coppola and an all too hasty ending don't help).
Am glad you have discovered these gems though. The original book by Mario Puzo is well worth reading too. Has all the first film details in as well as the background/De Niro bits from Part II.
