why do you think that?

Personally I think it looks great - its not perfect (but then what is? It is the best Godfather poster I have seen so far, and IMO its a lot better than the first in the series).

that would have been great - but now I know what to ask for as a sketch if he makes it back to TB this year so thanks for that

Lake scene would've been too dark for me. This scene has always given me a pretty powerful emotional response. I can't really justify buying most movie posters. I passed on the Godfather Pt. I, but this one isn't just a movie poster it's inspirational art IMO. You could take away the fact that it had anything to do with a movie and there would still be a message there. Still bummed I missed it but trying to look on the bright side that i won't even be tempted to get Pt. 1 or 3

Does anyone really need a Godfather 3 print on their wall?

The final scene on the opera stairs is pretty iconic at this point and pretty emotional even if you weren't a fan of the movie overall... I can't really imagine any other scene that would make sense...

Definitely not. I have 1 and 2 but the only way 3 will ever make it on the wall is if it has the best art. I think that's possible especially with 3 being known as a mediocre movie but having more prints available to sell than the previous 2. Similar to Back To The Future with Part 3 being the least liked but has the best art of the trilogy.

Looking again it's pretty enough, just not too evocative IMO. Mini Vito could've worked but the lake scene would've been pat/dull.
just a foil for me today, thanks
