In the grand scheme of movie sequels, quite possibly the largest gap in quality between entries is the absolute chasm between the first two Godfather films and The Godfather: Part III. Apparently, director Francis Ford Coppola agrees! Paramount just announced that the film is set to receive a full restoration, substantial re-edit, and a theatrical run overseen by Coppola.

It’s hard to believe, but it’s been fifteen years since Warner Bros. released director Francis Lawrence’s DC Comics adaptation, Constantine, starring Keanu Reeves as an occult detective. When the film first came out in February, 2005, the reviews were mixed.

The HBIC of Disney isn't messing around in his latest comments about what many a venerated director has said, both nice and rude, about the movies made by a branch of the …
Another twist to the tale.
Here's what Francis Ford Coppola and other naysaying filmmakers get wrong about superhero movies.
There’s a current trend of interviews happening where legendary directors are getting asked about Marvel movies. It’s a valid question because these are giants of cinemas who came up around the 1970s and, to be fair, kind of saw their Second Golden Age shunted aside by the Star Wars and Jaws of the world that paved the way for Marvel movies.
