received) if it were made/released in 1980 instead of 1990

Because to me, its release in 1990 felt like nothing but a money grab for Paramount and Coppola... I also felt the same way with The Two Jakes... I think the 16-year gap for both films was far too long...

EDIT: ... and in both cases the storytelling isn't as strong (even though, in the case of Two Jakes you had the same writer)... I just wonder if that long a gap -- with all of the implied effects of time on the creative people behind the projects -- had a negative effect on the finished products...
