I also enjoyed it but it was rushed and sloppy for much of it and really could've been awesomejoeycigars wrote: ↑Fri Oct 01, 2021 8:34 am watched it today , was good not great , they have a ton of ways to go with this doubt they leave it alone, Best part is the cars

Chase shouldn't have tried to force it into a two hour window.joeycigars wrote: ↑Fri Oct 01, 2021 8:34 am watched it today , was good not great , they have a ton of ways to go with this doubt they leave it alone, Best part is the cars
The bones for greatness were there but the format killed it. Not horrible but not great either.

It wasn't a masterwork like the show, but as a long-time fan and someone who has been looking forward to this movie for a long time I was not disappointed. Solid 7/10

Yea it was basically the Dickie Moltisanti story , But the 1970s back drops were awesomeNick Prango wrote: ↑Fri Oct 01, 2021 10:16 am It wasn't a masterwork like the show, but as a long-time fan and someone who has been looking forward to this movie for a long time I was not disappointed.

Am I only the only person who felt it was a little too “woke”?
Re: First look at ‘Sopranos’ prequel…
The ending was the biggest wtf moment to me. Like it’s even stupider than I imagined in my head
Re: First look at ‘Sopranos’ prequel…
Chase's original plan was to do 5 seasons. But HBO threw enough money at him and everyone else that they did a 2 part-6th season. And, as has been discussed, it wasn't for the better.newera_212 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 30, 2021 5:13 pmI didn't know that. Was the 6th season supposed to be shorter? 6... instead of 6A and 6B? I remember reading that Chase wanted to end the series with Tony raking leaves in his yard and just looking up in the sky, essentially a scene from the last episode before they agreed on going to out to dinner. Chase was a guest on the Joey Diaz podcast this week, haven't listened yet. Maybe he'll shed light on the movie. I swear i remember recently reading that he wants to do a sequel if everybody else wants to as well

All roads lead to New York.

I think we can see Tony's ascent into the mob.Wiseguy wrote: ↑Fri Oct 01, 2021 12:29 pmChase's original plan was to do 5 seasons.

The only thing I miss about this prequel is when Tony said Dickie Moltisanti went to war with the new england crew he brought the war up to them up there single handedly (when they were surveilling that cops retirement party) of course Tony could of been bullshiting chris then...

Yeah they should have ended the show with season 5. That last episode of season 5 was how I think chase wanted the show to end with Tony back with his family and having evaded the FBI and any fallout from New York.

Yeah. This guy Harold killed a member of the DiMeo crime family and tried to kill Dickie Moltisanti and Jonny Boy Soprano, yet he gets away (even when they know where he's staying)? Back in the 1970's, come on. Also that scene with Frank Lucas was kinda ridiculous and cringey. That scene was like from some Italian Mafia vs Black drug lords direct to video low budget action movie.

I will say it probably would have served better as a 6 episodes mini-series.joeycigars wrote: ↑Fri Oct 01, 2021 10:18 amYea it was basically the Dickie Moltisanti story , But the 1970s back drops were awesomeNick Prango wrote: ↑Fri Oct 01, 2021 10:16 am It wasn't a masterwork like the show, but as a long-time fan and someone who has been looking forward to this movie for a long time I was not disappointed.

It's about as accurate as Godfather of Harlem. I thought it was stupid.Nick Prango wrote: ↑Fri Oct 01, 2021 2:10 pmYeah.
