I was born too late to be apart of the Sopranos original airing. However decades later, I have found myself owner of the Series Boxed Set and literature surrounding the Soprano's universe. It has been almost 7 months since my intial viewing of The Many Saint of Newark and Im just able to write a review from the sheer dissapointment.
Tony explains to Melfi in Season 6 that he is to Christopher, what Christopher's dad (Dickie) was to Tony. However this film shows a completely different approach, especially considering Dickies fate comes before we even get a glimpse into tonys criminal career. You'll reach the end credits still expecting another 20 mins of film. Thats how unsatisfied you are left. Classic bait and switch, this ISNT a story about Tony.
Also Paulie and Silvio, oof Maronè, why are they like 5 years older than Tony.
Anyways, my estimation of David Chase as a writer just fu@#ing plummeted.
