العديد من القديسين في نيوارك

I am a die hard Sopranos fan. Watched the series about 7-8 times. One of the best TV series of all time and without any doubt my favourite. You have to watch the series to truly understand the meaning of it. For example, every scene took me back to the series. If you didn't have a special feeling when Christopher (Michael Imperioli) spoke, then for you it might be a simple and normal movie. Not for me and not for The Sopranos fans. The scenes, the acting, the sound effects, the writing, and the directing were a total masterpiece. Everything is moulding perfectly with the universe they have created and they have only left me wanting for more. If you are reading this I hope you appreciate what you are about to see or already saw. Also, never thought Junior had it in him.

Jon Bernthal said this film isn't like the Sopranos, and I can see what he means. I walked in thinking this would focus on Tony Sopranos' route to becoming who he is when we meet him in the first episode of the Sopranos, but instead, it focuses on Christopher's dad, Dickie Moltisanti. The acting is superb, but the plot is thin. Dickie is not a particularly interesting character. In fact, I think focusing on Johnny Soprano would've made for a way more gripping film. What we end up with is something half-baked, more of a mini series than a stand-alone film. I have to admit, when the credits started coming up, I was thinking, "Is this it?" For a Sopranos fan, it's worth a watch, but ultimately, it was underwhelming.
