    I think the movie would have worked better as a limited series. It’s not bad but it doesn’t feel like it’s own thing. As a Sopranos fan, I enjoyed the Easter Eggs, the classic phrases. But I think 2 hours wasn’t enough for all of these characters. I’ve always wanted more flashbacks in The Sopranos and this felt like an extended flashback. I think for all the talk about how much of a legend Dickie Moltisanti was, it never truly came across in the movie. He was portrayed well but he didn’t seem like half the legend that the series made him out to be (Thinking specifically of that line Tony says about Dickie bringing the war to the New England crew). I see Many Saints more as a gift to Sopranos fans rather than a standalone film. It’s like what El Camino was for Breaking Bad.

    It's not bad but very underwhelming. I was hoping for way more

    Harold was such an unneeded character. Movie would have worked without him. Jr who wound up having more of a pivotal role was barely in it. We didn't really get a good look at Tony, and Dickie was kind of boring.

    If this movie doesn’t have The Jacket scene, it won’t have the toughest reputation in Essex County.

    It either should have fully committed to being a mob movie about the Newark riots OR to being a Sopranos movie...as it stands it's kind of just this tepid look at the Newark riots that has sopranos characters for some reason lol. It was cool. I loved the fan service but it was about what I expected.

    I think David Chase writing a non-Sopranos mob movie about the riots could have been really cool cuz you can def see the potential there. But if they went full Sopranos I def agree this should have been a 4-6 ep limited series to flesh things out. Wasn't enough time to be fully invested in Dickie like you were with all the other characters in the show.
