Yeah there were a number of factors that made it not up to par with the first. Making Pacino do his hair like that, Sophia playing in it almost ruined the movie. Wasn't a rising star who was supposedly being casted for it murdered by some psycho right around the time of casting? I forget her name.
The 3rd tries to tackles too big of a story, it is almost like Illuminati type stuff. In one of the later books (not Puzo written but possibly from manuscripts or old notes) mentioned that he was offered a spot in some global secret society. However, the Vatican plot was never in any of the books IIRC.
But it's a must watch just for the conclusion and to see Michael's full change and his end result.
ETA: The Kill the Irishman movie is hard to believe how accurate that movie is when you read about the true events. Danny Green was a monster. The mob should have treated him better and the Cleveland family could have prospered from it. But great movie.

"State Of Grace" is an excellent movie with a great cast. Sean Penn as the undercover cop infiltrating his old friends crime gang. Ed Harris as the head of the gang and his insane brother played by Gary Oldman who gives one of his best performances at that point in his career.
John Torturro as Penn's cop boss and Robin Wright Penn as Sean's love interest. Plus the assortment of other familiar faces of the mob movie genre making up the rest of the cast.

Coming here to say State of Grace. Haven’t seen it in years so not sure if it holds up over time. But I really enjoyed it back in the day. Great cast. Oldman is fantastic. And if memory serves, Robin Wright shows some skin in her prime which is worth an extra star alone.

That’s actually a pretty damn good take.

I don't care for Scarface that much.
Scarface is very overrated in my opinion, but then I hate Pacino in most everything he's in.
He's especially bad in this.

That was it I think. I couldn't remember.
Scarface (the original is good but dated). The Pacino one is a classic but dated, albeit slightly less so. I guess they wanted to change the story up, but the chainsaw scene in the hotel was inspired by Nino Gaggi and Roy Demeo and one other Gambino guy from Florida getting revenge on a contractor setting up Gaggi's house he was building to be robbed where he got pistol-whipped in the process in front of his wife. They decided the guy who tipped the thieves off was responsible and killed him in the hotel room and were going to cut him and had a chainsaw with them (even though Roy and them usually just bled them and did it like a butcher) but they got spooked by noise nearby and left the half mutilated body in the bathtub and left.

It’s never going to be included in the classics but Live by night, with Ben Aflac is a decent 1920s mob movie.

Start with Godfather I & II and then Goodfellas
Then take a break with the Mob winning in The Untouchables and the beginning of the end for glamorized mob...
Then pick it up with the Mob's last hurrah in Goodfellas in the 80's...
And then the decline of the Mob to cheap hustling humps in Donnie Brasco (think Sopranos.)

Yep. That’s the list.
The Departed if you want to get into Irish Mob. But that’s it’s own sub genre.

Have any of yall seen The Iceman (2012), with Ray Liotta as Roy DeMeo and Michael Shannon as Richard Kuklinski?
Looks like it's available on most streaming apps.

After you finish Godfather and Goodfellas, watch Angels with Dirty Faces. Nice older movie with a twist at the end. James Cagney at his best.
