this is a valid critique tbh. refresh my memory, but did they say how D***ie died in the show? I thought it was an overdose cause he was a junky or something
Chris said he got popped bringing home Christmas presents just like in the movie
I think all of the actors portrayed their characters perfectly (only exception was Sils character he was doing too much), even Janice’s character was the same as the show, great casting
Nah bro they definitely marketed this as “Tony being taken under the wings of D***ie” prequel movie.
Halfway through the movie and barely been any Tony. I’ve seen Leslie Odoms character way more than him thus far
There was just enough Tony maybe even a bit too much. Let's see if we get something else, plenty of store to tell at the same time plenty to leave alone
Nah they announced it as a d***y movie but they’ve been promoting it as a Tony origin story all this year
It was my guy, you people want everything spoon fed to you
really stunned with how unnecessary this was. as a stand alone movie, it’s ok I suppose. But tying back to the sopranos, it’s actually really bad. None of the clever dialogue or humor from the sopranos is really there. The characters are all just flat charicature versions of themselves compared to the series. You really learn nothing new about the characters. The closest they come to doing a good job with matching a character is the Paulie bits. James Gandolfini’s son is solid but they didn’t do much with him…even though the heart of the show is Tony Soprano with all due respect to D\*\*\*ie Moltasanti. His character just wasn’t that great or interesting to deserve such a deep dive in this movie. Also Chris alludes in the series that his dad was a junkie, but here he’s this man’s man of mobsters.
Then you have new characters like the black empowerment story line which just feels pretty forced and doesn’t really bring anything to the table for what the sopranos was.
Tony has a bond with D\*\*\*ie that they want us to pick up on, but the moments shown in the movie between them aren’t memorable and don’t give any emotional gravity to anything.
Tony’s transformation from civilian to mob is very badly executed. No Tony B really unless I missed it. No robbing Feech’s card game. Etc.
We actually learn more about the black guy who rises up, which is good in theory, but in a sopranos prequel, feels very out of place and you have to ask yourself what’s the point? Maybe it’s bc, the sopranos series was racist, but i always took that as more to be a realistic view of how these mobsters would be. When Jackie Jr. loses at chess to the little black girl in the series, it’s way more profound than this.
There’s a lot more I can touch on but pretty disappointed honestly.
Bruh just described in a very detailed and elegant way what is wrong with this movie. Lmao my dumbass can’t put it into words like that but you’re right on every point.
The way Chris described D***y in this scene made him sound like a POS yet he’s portrayed as some likable good guy protagonist in the movie ….

Very disappointed. Some decent ideas here and there but they didnt flesh them out. Wouldve been good as a series. Wish we got more Tony
Damn thread reactions making me hesitant to watch
Same
Kinda dont watch it anymore since The Sopranos is the best show of all time
Should've gotten Bogdanovich to direct tbh
Word I’m glad you enjoyed it cus s*** was pretty meh for me tbh
What's your score? Users are so harsh, not wanna eat some garbage
I don’t know s*** about The Sopranos. Is this still worth a watch as a stand-alone mafia movie or is it solely for diehard fans of the series?

Its not
Watcg the sopranos you stunad
Was d***ie actually a junkie tho?
I took the ending that he got the pills for tony to be a wrong look and everyone thought he was a junkie because of that, maybe I’m wrong tho
Oh s*** I totally missed that
Anyone putting this on the level of filler fluff like El camino is on crack and just mad that Tony wasn't illogicaly running s*** back then on some cornball Tariq s***
