1. It seemed like two movies. The riot/black gangster angle and the actuallly Dickie. Literally almost an hour dedicated to each.
2. Where was the mentorship? I saw literally nothing where Tony might have gleaned anything from Dickie. Stealing an ice cream truck and a weak numbers operation in grade school is not mentorship.
Two scenes of him nipping a vodka pint ai'nt enough. He was supposed to be like Christopher with this addictions.
5. The guy who shot him - was he the cop that Tony said to Christopher in The Sopranos? If so, we needed to see him at least once. Not a fan of "why" he was shot either. If it was a jealousy thing, that needed to be fleshed out more.



Well stated.....why show him getting shot and still not knowing the entire truth. Spot on with the 2 movies, wonder if today in Hollywood it is a directive to make the movies with either females or minorities in the movies and mess up history. The movie based around a race riot was pretty stupid; seems like there could have been some hijacking or beef with NY rather than the crap they threw up...

6/10


The Sopranos wasn't realistic, either. Tony, a boss, committing murders, making collections beating people, etc.

There's a difference between "realism" and "reality". Realism only needs plausibility. Could this person do something like this, etc. Not whether some of their stature would do it, but just whether it's something they would do, personally. They have Tony killing people to show the audience how bad he is. Because much of the show includes his wife and children. If they never had him commit a murder, the audience would be left to wonder whether he really is that bad. Garroting someone on his daughter's college trip leaves no doubt. Just like they show Junior present for the Palmice hit. Not realistic, but shows the realism as to what Junior is capable of morally. He's not just some grouchy old man who runs a couple of unions and sports books. He's a killer.

From my point of view, I enjoyed the throw backs and what not.

Livia's portrayal was excellent
Tony, Johnny, Dickie, Junior, and Janice were very good.

Sil was terrible. His voice was way off and he looked and sounded like a cartoon character.

As a standalone the movie was poor. If you were a Sopranos fan it was pretty good, maybe 7 out of 10.

I'd like to see them do another one with Mike G going through the steps of getting involved in the life.

Yes Tony Soprano has his family roots in Avellino. Most Genovese in NJ also.

Chase stated that based on the success of this movie they’d think of continuing the storylines in a period series. In all honesty the movie was a let down, none of what I watched made me crave for more and, on top of that, I don’t what yet another mob series/movie set in the 70s. That period of the mob has been covered and done several times already.

I’d be much more interested in a Lupertazzi spin-off set in the 1990s.

Many Saints really got hurt due to Covid and not having Terrence Winter on board.

Another thing that it had going against it was that it was horrible and nothing more than fan service.

The movie pretty much sucked - that ugly broad from Italy started the mess - couldn't find a better looking woman? I've been to Italy and there are some great looking women there, poor job filling that roll. Plus no Italian woman in the '60's was going to fool around with a black man, no way in hell, no chance.

Injecting "wokeness" in this movie was a bad choice as well, could have done without any black actors in this film, they added zero to the plot.


Yeah, Little Pussy. You think he's going to fuck with Big Pussy? My Pussy? Tony Soprano, 1999
