Description

“The Many Saints of Newark” is the much‐anticipated feature film prequel to the groundbreaking, award‐winning HBO drama series The Sopranos. Young Anthony Soprano is growing up in the explosive era of the Newark’s riots, becoming a man just as rival gangsters begin to rise up and challenge the all-powerful DiMeo crime family’s hold over the increasingly race-torn city. Caught up in the changing times is the uncle he idolizes, Dickie Moltisanti, who struggles to manage both his professional and personal responsibilities—and whose influence over his nephew will help make the impressionable teenager into the all-powerful mob boss we’ll later come to know: Tony Soprano.

    Loved seeing Ray Liotta and some of the acting was good story was weak could have been so much better just watched on HBO
  • What a disappointment

    Talk about wondering what went wrong? From the non sensical characters, to the inability to focus on one main character, to reshooting scenes that were already shown. This is a disgrace to the Sopranos
  • Read the title, Folks!

    This is not a movie about a young Tony Soprano - the character is there, but he’s not the focus. It’s a good flick if you just watch it without huge expectations regarding the series…..and if you are a fan, you must see it just to watch Michael Gandolfini play his father.
  • Poor substitute for sopranos

    Audience got this one wrong. I thought the movie was great, and well written. Great performances from everybody, including Michael Gandolfini. Scenes disjointed I could definitely see, but to me it felt like the movie played like the original tv show with scene transitions. The movie took design elements from actual historical elements in Newark in 1967 and it was refreshing to see how this meshed with the storyline. Wasn’t political at all. I could watch this again and I’m glad I purchased this. Needs a sequel.

    I’m a huge fan of Sopranos & mafia movies in general … This movie was completely disjointed from the tv series. A lot of things felt forced and out of place, and some things were completely unnecessary. You could tell this was written half heartedly, and put together solely for the money it would generate, and completely lacked the soul of what made the tv show so good.

    I’m a huge fan of the sopranos series by David Chase. Unfortunately the movie was extremely slow, and overly political. The acting was great overall tho.
  • Enjoyable

    We really liked this movie. Just a little prequel to the Sopranos. Nothing ever happens like you’d think with the Sopranos.
