I hope we see more of Michael in any Sopranos-related material or see him break out into his own thing. Saw he was in a new movie that came out a couple months ago.
Even though this movie had its flaws, I could still see a potential prequel series that takes place with Michael as Tony throughout the 80s and 90s before the actual Sopranos show.
This movie had incredible potential. They did excellent casting with the roles of Johnny, Livia and Tony. This movie should’ve been more about Tony than Dickie. Dickie should’ve been shown mentoring Tony the way he tried mentoring Christopher.
I agree with you (especially the part about showing more of Dickie mentoring young Tony) with the exception of some of the casting. I liked the original actress that played Livia. They looked more like Nancy Marchand (Vera Fermiga had bright blue eyes in the film 🙄) and played her as a true psychotic. Johnny was a very blue pill type of personality when he was around Livia but a true alpha male in the street. Jon Bernthal played him as a man that didn't take shit from anyone, especially Livia.
Problem is where to take it? The Sopranos is already deep dives 6 seasons of psychotherapy into Tony's mind. The only thing really to explore is the circumstances and the irony of Tony joining the mob. Otherwise it's just really more Melfi flashbacks spread across two hours. I don't think more is better, otherwise Chase would have made this 10 years ago
I bet you in the sequel Tony will be mentoring young Christopher as Tony murders his way to become the top Crime Boss that would even make his uncle so proud
@Jonathan Birch yes, but in the movie its changed by a few words to make it sound like he saying im already in hell cuz he said "The guy i went to hell for" in the show he says "The guy im going to hell for"
The foreshadowing of having Tony standing at the door of Holstens, potentially where the bell rings, the very last thing he heard before he bought it, and then immediately showing a funeral. Holy hell. I guess that answers the ending of the original show.
Well in the show the bell rang and we saw his perspective straight away. Here we heard the bell and didnt see the funeral straight after. Now that would've been definitve
That and Tony's first hit is probably 5 years after this and it's Willie overall, someone junior could've convinced Tony was to blame for his uncles death
When the wives at the funeral were talking about Dickie having Elavil in his coat pocket (which was for Tony’s mom), it reminds me of the episode in the Sopranos when Chris and his mother are talking about his dad, and she perpetuates this false narrative about him being a drug addict. It makes me feel even more bad for Chris because I had assumed this narrative was true and that his drug addiction was partly hereditary. The sad part is Chris probably believed that too, and that he probably used that as a crutch to justify his addictions, which ultimately led to his death in the car when Tony couldn’t take it anymore.
And the sad part is the only reason he those pills in his pocket was because it was a favor for Tony. He asked Dickie to procure those pills to help medicate his mom.
I about jumped out of my chair when I heard the first few beats of the theme song at the end. And we all sang along, too! Perfect song to end on! Michael Gandolfini is the spitting image of his father.
The ending was soo bad ass I like how in a way Junior sealed his own fate by killing Dickie and solidified Tony’s destiny to rise the ranks and become the boss of his family
The main story is not about Tony, but It's about someone Tony looked up to. It's pretty good movie. The problem was the marketing team and the trailers sold this movie as if the movie will entirely about young Tony.
This movie was showing tragedy unfold that would have consequences for the show. Because Tony looked up to Dickie so much, he may have been the only person who could have gotten Tony on the straight and narrow. But because he was killed before getting the chance to have that talk with Tony, it pushed him down the road of becoming a criminal.
Watched the series live when it originally aired. It was awesome being in a movie theater with the theme song blasting through the sound system. Had chills walking out.
“The guy I went to hell for” how to remind sopranos fans what happen while not spoiling it for the people who never watched sopranos. Incredible writing all together
@@Iwinnuu lol the problem with your comment isn't "remind" it is "while not spoiling"... Definitely spoils the show and should not be watched before it
I read that before Michael Gandolfini played the part (I don't know if he did this before or after he did the audition) he watched the entire series in his apartment. He lit up with tears when the scene plays where Tony goes to AJ and gives him a slice of Pizza after AJ saw Tony pissed and Tony is eating Pizza with AJ. Tony says "AJ I couldn't of asked for a better son." Michael then jumped up and down and screamed in excitement!
This is the same restaurant that Tony may have been killed at. I guess through the years the bell on the door has always been there. @ 0:25 Little things like that give an eatery it's character and it helps that they serve the best onion rings in the state as far as some are concerned.
The endings the highlight of the movie , the Part where Christopher says "that's tony , my uncle , the guy I went to hell for" then cuts to sopranos theme was gold
my friend had gotten me and all of our friends into the show, so into it that we went to go see this movie opening night. when theme starting playing at the end we all looked at each other excitedly and geeked out in the theatre, such a good song and good use of it at the end.
This ending was so damn epic. I just don't understand why they did not focus on seeing more of Tony and his upbringing??? I was anticipating seeing more of Johnny, Big Sal, Paulie, Silvio etc. Just a huge opportunity wasted. I would even watch if they did a mini series of Johnny and his crew. Seeing a young Tony grow up would be dope ASF. I can envision seeing them end that mini series with young Tony driving through NY all the way to his home, like in the original series, stepping out of the car and the camera panning back to reveal him standing in front of his mansion. Dope.
unfortunately, that’s show biz. david chase wanted to make a movie about the newark riots but hbo wouldn’t fund him unless he made it related to the sopranos. many saints was the compromise.
I saw this movie before I ever watched Sopranos. Then, after I watched the series, I rewatched the movie and suddenly realized the significance of Holstens Diner; and that bell on the door.
When Christopher refuses to pay for dinner the first second time in the sopranos series and makes paulie pay for it he comes back and says he’ll pay for the bill but then paulie said to Christopher “it’s done” …. foreshadowing and great writing.
Wouldn't we all be so lucky to have friends, family, and acquaintances as caring and compassionate as these fellas? I mean really, they would do anything for eachother and just seem to love eachother soooo much. Always kissing and hugging... heart warming..... just ignore the whole murdering your at the drop of a hat thing or beating senseless you for pretty much no reason
Just the ending alone with the theme kicking in as we see what would eventually become tony written all over his face and knowing Jame's son plays Tony for the movie. Perfection
The last few minutes of the movie to me, had the same vibes and tone of the last few episodes to Season 6 and the finale. Everything feels tense, but at the same time things are coming to a natural conclusion. I don't think Many Saints did the Sopranos any justice, but the last few minutes of this movie was pure gold.
Now that I think about it, the voice to Corrado on the phone sounds like Paulie - more, a clip of Paulie saying 'Its done!' from the show. Interesting premise....could Paulie have been the one who whacked Christopher's father? He was the only one of the family who seemed to have any sadness at Christopher actually dying in the show interestingly.
It’s a deleted scene with Ed Marinaro. He’s supposed to be Jilly Ruffalo from the backstory T tells Chris. His scene got cut out but his audio is still there.
@@robertbryant3252 Tony had love for Chris or he would've been dead long before the vehicle. Tony used Mercy but it was a double-edged sword...he was relieved and grieving at the same time...Chris was a lost soul, and many a time he caused stress that wasn't welcome from a business or personal standpoint. He's a hardened Mafia Don, not a cupcake. Junior and his griminess towards Dicki...the people he had or got killed...he was so callous or unfeeling that when the dementia set in there was no difference. That's what people should've focused on, instead they fell in love with his zaniness and his humour.
You can see so much of James in his son's eyes. Makes me kind of teary to see if. I grew up watching The Sopranos with my dad (one of those "don't tell your mom I let you watch this" kind of things) and Tony is his favorite character from any TV show. This movie wasn't the best, but damn does the ending get me in my feels.
Just realized something cool... Dickie is supposed to meet Tony to try to convince him not to pursue the mob life... At Holstens; the same place that would eventually do Tony in... But never shows. Doomed to meet his fate. Similar to how even Meadow, years later, wouldn’t have been able to save Tony.
@@Jonas-PD That’s because Chase wanted to do a movie about the riots in Newark but they would only let him do it if it was involved with the Sopranos. He should’ve just focused entirely on the Sopranos but Chase hates his audience so he never really gives them what they want.
This had so much potential, they should’ve made a series or mini-series just to explore Tony’s early year and what made him the way he was in the Sopranos.
I absolutely loved this movie. 10/10 I cannot believe how good the casting was. Everyone not only looked like who they were supposed to be from The Sopranos, but also sounded, acted, and even moved so much like them that I instantly could identify who was who almost at a glance. And holy hell that ending was so good it gave me goosebumps for days afterwards.
No offense but if this is a 10/10 movie then I would hate to see what you would give a 9/10 or lower. I thought this movie was okay on its own but a very bit disservice to the franchise. The riots thing added absolutely nothing to the lore and it is funny that everyone ignores it since it is so focused on in the movie. The casting was not bad but you're wrong that everyone was casted well. Silvio was completely off in terms of acting and age. I would give it a 6/10 since i think it is okay at best.
This movie is 100x better than how people play it out. Its the little thing's that lead to the event that eventually shape Tony. I've seen comments about too much going on but that's the point, for the people in the story there was too much going on, too much they could handle. The riots play a huge part as they drive Harold to act on his own and eventually the killing of Buddha leads to Dickie laughing at Junior slippin and then you know the rest. Its a butterfly effect and everything in the film happened for a specific reason. I hope there is a sequel , because I loved this film
Yeah a nobody like Harold killing made guys, something that even black godfathers like Nicky Barnes or Frank Matthews would have never done, plus actually getting away with it ruined the immersion for sure. Far from being the only thing wrong with the movie though.
@@ashtonkusher9502 Bumpy Johnson won his war with Dutch Schultz in the 1930s only because the Italians helped him while he was about to lose. He had a good relationship with them and actually was liked and respected in mob circles so I'm not sure what you're on about. Matthews, like Johnson, was big in Harlem which was the main black area in Manhattan, no one disputes that. The Italians at the time were by far the most powerful organisation in the city, could muster more guns than all the others put together so that whole idea that they were "scared" of anyone sounds ridiculous.
The ending was fire. They had that planned since they finished the show. David Chase was like "If we make a movie in the future, whatever we do, we are putting the theme song at the end no matter how it ends " lol seriously tho, musically this is how they shoulda did the series finale. Since it was the last episode ever, they should've cut the opening credits out then after the long 30 sec black out ending, put it on. I love episodes that are unorthodox compared to the rest. That's what this movie was like. A Sopranos prequel episode.
Felt so bad for Tony seeing him wait for Dickie in the diner. Sil was right, Dickie wasn't perfect, but he was WAY better for him than Johnny and Livia.
I'm guessing Tony or Johnny eventually takes care of Harold, as he's no longer around during the main series and Tony is firmly in charge of North Jersey but I'd like a play by play of how it actually happened
@@hawk66100 well I thought so too but now that they've started us down this path id like them to finish. And, after doing that, they didn't have the decency to even have Harold get his comeuppance lol
@@rogergarrison4271 This movie was a huge letdown for me and in my opinion had so much potential to be another classic gangster flick but the writers screwed up. It did have a few good moments don’t get me wrong.
I only watched The Sopranos this year, and watched the Many Saint of Newark after finishing the series. I was expecting that they’d show the time where tony and jackie hit feech’s card game.
The messed up part in the theaters when the m7sic kicked in only older people started cheering and clapping. Younger audience had no idea what was happening
"My uncle Tony, the guy I went to Hell for" Remember, after this Dickie saw Chrissy during his near death experience and warned him he was going to Hell, but Pauly convinced him it was just purgatory and he'd get out some day, so Chrissy never changed
You add up all your mortal sins and multiply that number by 50, then you add up all your venial sins and multiply that by 25. You add them together, and that's your sentence. Lolollll
The film should've been set primarily in 1975, making it nearly 25 years before the events of the show and we see young Tony at age 16. The Feech La Manna card game heist should've been featured in the climax of the film.
It’s cool they got Christopher back for this. He was always my favorite character from the series. I wanted him to break free of that life and become the decent person you could tell he could have been but I knew the series was too realistic for that to happen haha
I always thought that what made sopranos a stand off show was the mysticism aspect that leveled lost at times. Those dreams , those thoughts about death and beyond, about darkness and this shot here where moltisanti makes a “pact” with Tony from beyond the grave. Something that just always made the show incredibly dark and also mystic. No other gangster show can compare because of this deepness of thought surrealism of the dreams we all have. They were all portrayed in an incredibly existential and yet fatalistic way. As for the pact, Tony couldn’t help it, but to let go of it. The curse of soprano family. Chris can be happy, he and Tony are certainly both in hell after that ending of the show scene. There is no doubt what happened to Tony there

Tony also looks at him like he’s insane when he says that Dickie was a drug addict.
to be fair though, the movie did portray dickie having a drinking problem, which counts as being an addict.
I think Dickie was more addicted to violence than anything.
And the sad part is the only reason he those pills in his pocket was because it was a favor for Tony. He asked Dickie to procure those pills to help medicate his mom.

@@kevintorres9350 so true !
I think it could have been the detective Chris whacked after being told by Tony that he was responsible for his father's death.
Wouldn't we all be so lucky to have friends, family, and acquaintances as caring and compassionate as these fellas? I mean really, they would do anything for eachother and just seem to love eachother soooo much. Always kissing and hugging... heart warming..... just ignore the whole murdering your at the drop of a hat thing or beating senseless you for pretty much no reason
had me in the first half lmao
Just the ending alone with the theme kicking in as we see what would eventually become tony written all over his face and knowing Jame's son plays Tony for the movie.
Perfection
Young Janice's casting is spot on holy
The last few minutes of the movie to me, had the same vibes and tone of the last few episodes to Season 6 and the finale. Everything feels tense, but at the same time things are coming to a natural conclusion. I don't think Many Saints did the Sopranos any justice, but the last few minutes of this movie was pure gold.
I just finished the show the other day, and watched Many Saints last night. I agree with the tone of the end being similar to the end of S6.
It was great hearing the theme from the TV series
Now that I think about it, the voice to Corrado on the phone sounds like Paulie - more, a clip of Paulie saying 'Its done!' from the show. Interesting premise....could Paulie have been the one who whacked Christopher's father? He was the only one of the family who seemed to have any sadness at Christopher actually dying in the show interestingly.
They all seemed down except for Tony
Thats a good theory
It’s a deleted scene with Ed Marinaro. He’s supposed to be Jilly Ruffalo from the backstory T tells Chris. His scene got cut out but his audio is still there.
It sure does!
@@robertbryant3252 Tony had love for Chris or he would've been dead long before the vehicle. Tony used Mercy but it was a double-edged sword...he was relieved and grieving at the same time...Chris was a lost soul, and many a time he caused stress that wasn't welcome from a business or personal standpoint. He's a hardened Mafia Don, not a cupcake. Junior and his griminess towards Dicki...the people he had or got killed...he was so callous or unfeeling that when the dementia set in there was no difference. That's what people should've focused on, instead they fell in love with his zaniness and his humour.
“Without Tony Soprano, there would be no Walter White…” -Vince Gillian, the creator of AMC’s Breaking Bad
You can see so much of James in his son's eyes. Makes me kind of teary to see if. I grew up watching The Sopranos with my dad (one of those "don't tell your mom I let you watch this" kind of things) and Tony is his favorite character from any TV show. This movie wasn't the best, but damn does the ending get me in my feels.
After watching this film my estimation of David Chase as a writer fuckin’ plummeted
i liked the ending and the font they used in credits.
thats all im gonna say.
Just realized something cool...
Dickie is supposed to meet Tony to try to convince him not to pursue the mob life... At Holstens; the same place that would eventually do Tony in... But never shows. Doomed to meet his fate.
Similar to how even Meadow, years later, wouldn’t have been able to save Tony.
So junior killed not only Chris’s dad but also tony and by extension sent Chris into a downward spiral
When the song started playing.. complete badass!
1 of the most iconic theme songs of all time.
It’s amazing how Michael looks just like his father.
Not a great movie but just like anything sopranos related, it has such a poetic ending. I loved it
Of course it was junior !! The most petty gangster ever .. he's basically a female
Heard he likes eating down south, too
Agreed! It’s pretty fitting that all along junior was behind it cuz he’s so thin skinned and has such a fragile ego.
@@cecilkeith1951 he likes whistling to the wheat field😅

I wish they omitted Harold's story line and focused more on Tony or even Johnny, I really want a movie about Johnny
Completely true
That’s why the movie failed. They add this random character and make half the movie about him.
@@Jonas-PD That’s because Chase wanted to do a movie about the riots in Newark but they would only let him do it if it was involved with the Sopranos. He should’ve just focused entirely on the Sopranos but Chase hates his audience so he never really gives them what they want.
When junior said “ he never had the makings of a varsity athlete” during lunch , I almost shit my pants lol
This had so much potential, they should’ve made a series or mini-series just to explore Tony’s early year and what made him the way he was in the Sopranos.
Yes, very much this. Even like a 3 part miniseries would have been better
I absolutely loved this movie. 10/10
I cannot believe how good the casting was. Everyone not only looked like who they were supposed to be from The Sopranos, but also sounded, acted, and even moved so much like them that I instantly could identify who was who almost at a glance. And holy hell that ending was so good it gave me goosebumps for days afterwards.
Same over here :D just sad there were a lot of time errors but still enjoyed the movie
No offense but if this is a 10/10 movie then I would hate to see what you would give a 9/10 or lower. I thought this movie was okay on its own but a very bit disservice to the franchise. The riots thing added absolutely nothing to the lore and it is funny that everyone ignores it since it is so focused on in the movie. The casting was not bad but you're wrong that everyone was casted well. Silvio was completely off in terms of acting and age. I would give it a 6/10 since i think it is okay at best.
It's a 1/10 disaster of a movie.
I did 20 years only to come back to this
This movie is 100x better than how people play it out. Its the little thing's that lead to the event that eventually shape Tony. I've seen comments about too much going on but that's the point, for the people in the story there was too much going on, too much they could handle. The riots play a huge part as they drive Harold to act on his own and eventually the killing of Buddha leads to Dickie laughing at Junior slippin and then you know the rest. Its a butterfly effect and everything in the film happened for a specific reason. I hope there is a sequel , because I loved this film
0:56 He looks just like daddy. He definitely has his eyes. R.I.P. Jimmy G.
When I heard that bass line, I smiled so hard
1:43 That actress really captures the old Livia Soprano that we know from the series
the mid credit scene was so pointless, and the fact The DiMeo family didn't take Harold out for killing numerous made men was hard to believe 🤣
They might make a sequel you never know McBrayer is still out there and Tony and everyone
Sequel bait
Yeah a nobody like Harold killing made guys, something that even black godfathers like Nicky Barnes or Frank Matthews would have never done, plus actually getting away with it ruined the immersion for sure. Far from being the only thing wrong with the movie though.
@@MB-fo2sk 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Italians were scared of Frank Matthews and Bumpy Johnson THATS A FACT
@@ashtonkusher9502 Bumpy Johnson won his war with Dutch Schultz in the 1930s only because the Italians helped him while he was about to lose. He had a good relationship with them and actually was liked and respected in mob circles so I'm not sure what you're on about. Matthews, like Johnson, was big in Harlem which was the main black area in Manhattan, no one disputes that. The Italians at the time were by far the most powerful organisation in the city, could muster more guns than all the others put together so that whole idea that they were "scared" of anyone sounds ridiculous.
The ending was fire. They had that planned since they finished the show. David Chase was like "If we make a movie in the future, whatever we do, we are putting the theme song at the end no matter how it ends " lol seriously tho, musically this is how they shoulda did the series finale. Since it was the last episode ever, they should've cut the opening credits out then after the long 30 sec black out ending, put it on. I love episodes that are unorthodox compared to the rest. That's what this movie was like. A Sopranos prequel episode.
2:32 pure goosbumps.
Felt so bad for Tony seeing him wait for Dickie in the diner. Sil was right, Dickie wasn't perfect, but he was WAY better for him than Johnny and Livia.
yeah if he would of live Maybe tony and Janice could have turned out different .
I bet James Gandolfini watched this in heaven with a huge smile on his face.
RIP to Ray Liotta
I need a sequel so I can see Richie win The Jacket!!!!!
This ending gave me chills! God I miss the Sopranos so much 😭😭😭
“It’s done” sounded a whole lot like Tony Sirico
James son playing him in this scene its crazy how much he looks like his old man im so glad he did this
"The guy I went to Hell for." that line went hard
Junior was one of my favorite characters this movie kind of changes my view of him.
2:14 that look, oh I know that look
This was when we knew he was gonna lead the family and go on to be the boss
People say this movie sucks, but in my opinion this movie wasn't bad.
hear hear
I agreed
I'm guessing Tony or Johnny eventually takes care of Harold, as he's no longer around during the main series and Tony is firmly in charge of North Jersey but I'd like a play by play of how it actually happened
Um he was probably retired lil
@@marcoskolioulis3522 you're telling me you don't want to see the blow by blow of him actually getting retired?
I thought this movie focused on Harold too much and not on Tony and Dicky enough. Sopranos fans didn’t give a shit about some random guy.
@@hawk66100 well I thought so too but now that they've started us down this path id like them to finish. And, after doing that, they didn't have the decency to even have Harold get his comeuppance lol
@@rogergarrison4271 This movie was a huge letdown for me and in my opinion had so much potential to be another classic gangster flick but the writers screwed up. It did have a few good moments don’t get me wrong.
Pretty sure thats Orginal Paulie/Tony Sirico that calls the phone .."Its Done!"
They really dropped the ball with the story of this movie. It had so much potential
Really did so much time wasted on Harold like anyone cared about his character
I wanted to learn more of Jackie Aprile and his great leadership
Hopefully there's a part 2 in the makings
Wasn't Jackie that friend Tony hangs out with at school?
When that theme comes on at the end, gave me chills. The Sopranos is one of the greatest mob stories of all time.
I only watched The Sopranos this year, and watched the Many Saint of Newark after finishing the series. I was expecting that they’d show the time where tony and jackie hit feech’s card game.
The messed up part in the theaters when the m7sic kicked in only older people started cheering and clapping. Younger audience had no idea what was happening
"My uncle Tony, the guy I went to Hell for"
Remember, after this Dickie saw Chrissy during his near death experience and warned him he was going to Hell, but Pauly convinced him it was just purgatory and he'd get out some day, so Chrissy never changed
You add up all your mortal sins and multiply that number by 50, then you add up all your venial sins and multiply that by 25. You add them together, and that's your sentence.
Lolollll
I'm convinced Dickie did end up in purgatory because he genuinely tried to be a good person and had remorse for all the bad things he's done.
The film should've been set primarily in 1975, making it nearly 25 years before the events of the show and we see young Tony at age 16. The Feech La Manna card game heist should've been featured in the climax of the film.
This pinky promise scene with the music was my favourite part of the movie
My gripe about this film, not enough Michael. He was the whole reason why I wanted to see the film. Felt like I saw him 3x.
6 seasons of The Sopranos and we have this other pygmy thing over in Newark...
When the theme hit in the theaters I had chills go up my spine. Sadly the best moment of a deeply conflicted movie.
He resemble his father sooo much.. i wish this movie is better
Having Tony wear a Varsity jacket was an insane decision lmao
It’s cool they got Christopher back for this. He was always my favorite character from the series. I wanted him to break free of that life and become the decent person you could tell he could have been but I knew the series was too realistic for that to happen haha
I loved the movie. I could watch the series 100 times. It never gets old for me. I was see or catching on some i missed or forgot about.
I always thought that what made sopranos a stand off show was the mysticism aspect that leveled lost at times. Those dreams , those thoughts about death and beyond, about darkness and this shot here where moltisanti makes a “pact” with Tony from beyond the grave. Something that just always made the show incredibly dark and also mystic. No other gangster show can compare because of this deepness of thought surrealism of the dreams we all have. They were all portrayed in an incredibly existential and yet fatalistic way. As for the pact, Tony couldn’t help it, but to let go of it. The curse of soprano family. Chris can be happy, he and Tony are certainly both in hell after that ending of the show scene. There is no doubt what happened to Tony there
