If Tom Hagen were in this film

What would the story have been like? I've read that it would have been something like Tom rising rising up against Michael. Based on Tom's characters in parts 1 and 2 and his undying loyalty to Michael, it seems only right that part 3 might have been ranked with its prequels if that scenario had been the case.

Not sure. There are so many drafts that tell a completely different story.

The film would be 10 times better if he was in it. It makes me sad Everytime I watch it that the studio didn't just give him the money he wanted :(

Tom Hagen was a fan favorite character. His absence decreased the movie s quality and it was unnecessary to cut him out
