Or do you prefer to think that the story ends with Part II?

To be honest, I never watched Part 3 because of it's reputation.
You missed nothing.
I do not include it. I pretend I never saw it, and that it does not exist. To follow up two of the greatest films/stories ever made with that pile of soap-opera garbage is a travesty.
The scene that, to me, most stands out in pointing out what nonsense trash III is, is the scene where Michael apologizes to Kay, after visiting Apollonia's grave. Michael apologizes to Kay. For what??? For keeping his word to her? For giving her everything she wanted? For her killing their baby? What utter and complete crap.
Kay sure has a lot of nerve being pissed off that Michael killed Carlo–the man responsible for Sonny's death–when she killed their unborn child out of spite.
(And this is not a statement on abortion, btw, so don't get all reflexive, "It's not killing a baby, it's just a clump of cells!" or whatever. We can argue that subject forever, though I don't especially want to. I'm not talking about all abortion here, I'm talking specifically about Kay's abortion, late enough in her pregnancy that they could tell the sex of the baby, and deliberately intended as murder. That's how she herself refers to it, so that is how I am referring to it. Kay killed their innocent unborn baby because it "might" turn out like Michael, which is frankly disgusting. Michael should never have forgiven her for that, and we as viewers shouldn't be asked to see it as totally forgivable and NBD, something that Kay feels no regret or anything over.) -

Yes I do. While it is in parts inferior to the first two films - it doesn't pick up on threads from the novel, like the doctor who fixed Mike's nose or explaining the change in gender of one of their children from the original novel or offering any explanation of Fredos' method of how he betrayed michMMichael, all of which should have been in there, as part of the plot for the movie - what did make it on screen I think makes a good drama.
Schrodinger's Cat walks into a bar, and doesn't.
