this was dicki moltisanti's story. moltisanti literally means many saints. In the time dicki's story takes place, tony is too young for that event to transpire. in case you missed it, Jackie was part of the ice cream heist, and you literally watch tony realize what kind of business his "family" is in as he goes from a child to a young man. The development is he doesn't understand it, then he rejects it after dicki distances himself, then he longs for it after dicki's death and that sets him on the path to become who he is. idk what more you could want or what movie you watched but everything you're asking for is either non-applicable or already there.
I think Dicky should've given the medicine to Livia and she goes crazy to Junior and that's the final straw for Jun to kill him. He should've done it personally and Tony should've watched it or even be the bait for Dicky.
he was excellent. He looked and acted just like Silvio. Silvio himself is a characture if himself that's what makes him Silvio- and actor can only look as if he is doing a characture of a characture of which he did a fine job
@@donnyscallz The more I hear this, the more I want to believe it as it could make sense. This must be why he reenacts scenes from movies for a laugh... still, Sil's character was a character. I didn't necessarily see the parody when I watched the series. He was just someone with a unique persona. Much like a Christopher Walken, for example. He doesn't talk to be funny, he just speaks in an unusual manner that we find comical, but he also plays a good bad guy who is not so funny.
That was Sil lol I don’t understand what everyone is butt hurt about. Go watch the show again. He was always nagging Tony and overanalyzing situations with him. Same he was doing with Dickie. Him almost having a heart attack overthinking himself as boss when Tony was in the hospital lol.
It was obvious to Sopranos fans that Steve Van Zandt is wearing a toupee to play the character of Silvio. It wasn't obvious OR ever even hinted at that Silvio wore a toupee!
For me they should have gone with the real hair. It was weird being introduced to Silvio as a balding 25 year old. Plus he was closer to Tony's age, being part of Dickie's crew don't make sense either.
My only issue with The Many Saints of Newark is I really thought it would have worked much better as a series. 2 hours just wasn't time. I'm so glad that David Chase signed that new deal and can't wait for more prequel Sopranos content.
Exactly I don’t know if they are just setting us up for a series spin off or another movie but it just felt like they keep setting up everybody’s story and dropping it and the Silvio “ting” really pissed me off if felt almost parody and why give my mans a hair piece I really don’t remember them talking about sil having any type of hair piece except for Ralph but overall I give the movie a 6/10 just because I love the sopranos so much I do hope a series comes out with the same cast (except Silvio) lol because that was brilliant casting by them
@@joeytoxicbaby No its not going to be a trilogy. It was a one shot movie. They just announced on Oct 3rd that they were offered a series and they are considering it. Don't spread misinformation.
The theme tune at the end was also the theme tune to the series. Young Tony Soprano would grow up to be Adult Tony Soprano. The movie and the TV show are both about gangsters.
The movie was set in the 70s, and the TV show was set in the late 90s-early 2000s. This is meant to show how time advances forward in chronological fashion.
@@azcello Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh I get it now, that confused me the whole movie. I was wondering how Tony Soprano could both exist as a child, young man and adult concurrently. I was confused as to why they never bumped into each other. Makes sense!
We all missed the reason why this movie is much like The Chinese Sopranos is because its written and directed by the Czechoslovakian interior decorator.
@@stevelawlor5112 you's got that right! Especially when Paulie cluttered the floor with the Czech's remote! He should'a just put it back on the charger. But Paulie was a made guy and the Czech wasn't!😎
Did anyone notice that Dickie was neither an alcoholic nor a drug addict. That Livia started it as a rumor at the end of the movie because he was found with medication in his pocket in which he was delivering to Tony that was meant for her.
@@taahirwilliams3788 yeah 2 hours wasn't enough to tie 6years of the series together. And I always thought that Sil, Pus and Tony were closer in age. In Saints Sil and Pus were clearly much older
It definitely was. The movie wasn’t good. Just let it be. I don’t wanna see no sequel or or trilogy. Michael son did a great job playing his dad and the beautiful Vera Farmiga played a great Liv. Other than that, Booooo!!
"There's no indication in this scene that the teens are a couple yet" ... you know, wearing someones letterman jacket means the same thing today as it did then
In the many reviews I have seen of the film, no one has mentioned the fact that Ray Liotta plays TWO roles in the film. He appears not only as Hollywood Dick Moltisanti but as his twin brother.
And correct if me I'm wrong, but that was never mentioned in the original series. It's such a cheap trope, almost never works ( there will be blood is another example)
Dickie killed the love of his life giussepina, much like Chris also was responsible for the demise of his love ade. Those two moments are linked with their downfall
I don't think this movie was as bad as some people say it is. There's very good acting and the story is entertaining. It's more about Chris' father and his influence on Tony. Can't expect it to be about Tony as he's just a teenager.
I think it was a brilliant movie with nuances like having Tony meet Dickie at Holsten's (which didn't obviously happen, but made my skin crawl), answering the question I have long knew the answer to (that Tony lied to Chrissy about how his father was killed) and why Tony was a subtle racist. I think it was incredibly well done and most people who complained about this film did so because Chase left us wanting more which I think was his intention.
@@alexakl6445 If Chase does another one, it has to include the Feech robbery and would likely focus on Tony given the final scene of the pinky swear. It is a big "if" though as he is sincerely pissed off that this was available through streaming channels in parallel with the theatre release and stated that if he had known this, he wouldnt have done this movie at all. We may be in for another 15 year wait, if ever.
I loved The Sopranos and had been looking forward to this movie. I was tempted to turn it off at any number of points during the movie. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. It barely had a plot. The characters just kind of lurched around. It was moderately interesting in how it portrayed the main series characters in their younger days, but not for any other reasons. Meh.
As a fellow fan of the series, I was also disappointed. The blk people in the film seemed unnecessary to the story, especially when you realize that junior killed dickie. I felt like it would’ve been better if the film was about the junior vs dickie conflict. Plus, some of the acting was underwhelming. But Tony’s mom did a good job to me.
@@wlouisharris it was a movie not series. Take it or leave it!!! Guess you don't understand. It's the same people coming up in the life. Honesty I think it was good. And it's going to be played out some more. Remember this make believe with trueness to back it up.
did you guys even watch the movie? how are you going to fail to mention that Liotta plays his own twin brother in prison? you literally show a picture of the prison character but narrate it as dicki's father. no, that would be his uncle.
If you haven't seen it yet and you're a big fan of "The Sopranos", I recommend it just for the really great acting, definitely including Michael Gandolfini. I've tried to imagine what it was like for him to play the iconic character that is dad made so famous. I look forward to hopefully a sequel to watch as Tony continues to go further towards that life of crime. Vera Famiga's "Livia" was spot on portraying the miserable character that she was.
Oh stop this shit. There was nothing great about Michael's acting. James Gandolfini was amazing so people want to blow up Michael unnecessarily in this role. The reality is that he was barely noticable and you could have taken him completely out of this movie and it wouldn't have changed the movie itself. We were sold one version of hte movie in the trailer and were given a separate movie. Michael was fine, but he was hardly "great".
@@Swearengen1980 in regards to the trailer version of the story , you are correct. I felt ray playing two roles was weak as well. You would of thought dickies father getting killed( as the storyline goes), would of been mentioned in the series.
@@diviningrod2671 Well they played loose with the story a little. Perfect example is when Johnny gets arrested at the carnival, he spent 2 years in jail in the movie. In the show, he was home before dinner and told the kids it was all a big misunderstanding. They completely rewrote a scene just so they could have the welcome home party in the movie.
The one answer I'm looking for is who is Christopher's mother? They never mentioned it. Dickie said that his wife couldn't have children and then they skip to the future after Christopher is born. So was it Guiseppina? Or was Chris a miracle child? They never speak on it.
My theory is this... Joann couldn't get pregnant as stated, but why? Maybe Dickies sperm was the problem.. then, Guiseppina comes into the picture and boom...all of sudden his lackluster swimmers turned into navy seals! That fresh Italian cooze woke those boys up real quick.
My theory is that Giuseppina is actually Chrissys mum and Dickie and Joanne raised him... it would explain why Joanne was often cold and mean to Chris in the Sopranos, because he isn't actually her kid, he's Dickies bastard from another woman
@@simongorvin2263 that's what I figured as well I accidentally said Iris, but I don't understand why they didn't mention it. Like they went out of their way to have the line saying his wife couldn't have kids and 30 minutes later there's Chris, no pregnancy spoken of lol
David Chase’s biggest mistake was not having this written by Terry Winters and directed by Tim Van Patten. Anyone listen to “Talking Sopranos? They won’t even mention Van Patten’s name other then to say “Directed by Tim Van Patten”.
PhilliesFan1 Fly Eagles Fly is there a reason? Has he been cancelled or labeled an insurrectionist white supremacist? Maybe he voted for a wrong person?
@@jjcnyc6313 I don’t know but it’s very apparent that will say nothing about him when the guy directed 19 or 20 episodes. The newest episode is about the movie and they interviewed Sandro Nivola who mentioned that Van Patten is his neighbor and they share a wall and told them what advice he gave him about meeting with David Chase. Nothing from Michael and Steve. Not the first time either.
If you missed Chris narrating in the beginning.. Not only did you not watch The Sopranos, you didn't even look at the screen 😂 And that was just number 1!
Ok when kid Tony said I do not want to be shot in the back. Did anyone think that was a heads up to how he probably did die in the last scene of the show.
05:20 "But there is no indication in this scene that they are a couple yet". Yes there is. She is wearing Tony's varsity letterman jacket. In US culture, a boy gives a girl his letterman jacket as a "going steady" gift which also serves as a "she's taken" warning to other potential suitors. No, they are definitely dating in that scene. Edit: Also, did you see how she was staring at Tony after he borrowed a dime at the payphone? They were clearly dating. Did you even watch the movie, Looper writers?
This was a good film DONT let these people fool you were going to get a lot of explanation here soon I love how they used dickie in this his death will be used to push tony closer to junior I especially like how Christopher grows up thinking his dad is a drug addict because he was found with livs pills we are going to see tony become evil and I’m excited Michael did a great job playing his fathers character this is a trip down memory lane nothing will ever be as good as the sopranos
The interaction between Vera and Michael was most like Livia and Tony's when he was at the kitchen table protesting that he never used pot and complained, "I'm always bein' accused!!" and she retorted with her famous, "Oh, poor you!" Loved it.
@@gigidayz6936 In the flashback during the show it is seen as how Tony "remembered" the incident. It may not have actually happened exactly that way. Also, during the show Janice said that Junior and his goomah were there when Johnny Boy shot a hole through Livia's hairdo because it was Junior's goomah that told the story. We learn from the movie it was actually Dickie and his goomah that were there.
Yes, I picked up on that too. It's obvious that dickie suffered from depression, a running theme in the sopranos. I also feel like he had "therapy sessions" with his uncle in prison, it was his way too get some guidance.
Was the movie perfect no, but it open up so many paths to go down in that universe. For example I was fascinated with Johnny and Olivia I want more of their story, also show us Johnny and Tony interacting as Tony dips his toes into the underworld, so yeah....more movies please.
I agree that they crammed too much story into one movie. This would have been a fantastic miniseries. The whole movie could have been spread over a dozen episodes ending in Dickie's death. In that scenario, all the characters could be flushed out. As for "social justice", you must be new to historic fiction and to David Chase. The historic Newark Rce Riots were important IRL plot devices in the series, mentioned numerous times and involved in many plots. If you think David Chase would base a prequel in the Newark riots and NOT use it as an opportunity to introduce a character who is victim of both the protagonist AND law enforcement, then you don't know Chase at all.
What pisses me off, is Silvio Dante in the series is born in 1957 and was a childhood friend of Tony's... yet in 1967, Tony is 7 or 8, but Silvio is already a respected member of the DiMeo crime family? What the hell is that bullshit?
And in case you're still wondering..... Tony died, that's why they did the famous fade to black. Chase has explained he did that because when you die you don't know what happens
If this movie would have been directed by Martin Scorsese it would have been way better with David Chase as a consultant, he clearly can't do an entire movie...i did think Michael Gandolfini did an awesome job as young Tony and it was cool at the end with the theme music and him holding Dickies hand!! They should do a series of young Tony just like they did a series as young Sheldon...I think they have lightning in a bottle with that and shouldn't waste it!!
The ages dont line up. Chrissy says during the Uncle Pat's farm episode that Tony was about 8-9 years older...This scene would put him at least 15 years older.

PhilliesFan1 Fly Eagles Fly is there a reason? Has he been cancelled or labeled an insurrectionist white supremacist? Maybe he voted for a wrong person?
@@jjcnyc6313 I don’t know but it’s very apparent that will say nothing about him when the guy directed 19 or 20 episodes. The newest episode is about the movie and they interviewed Sandro Nivola who mentioned that Van Patten is his neighbor and they share a wall and told them what advice he gave him about meeting with David Chase. Nothing from Michael and Steve. Not the first time either.
I don't think anyone missed any of these.
If you missed Chris narrating in the beginning.. Not only did you not watch The Sopranos, you didn't even look at the screen 😂 And that was just number 1!
Ok when kid Tony said I do not want to be shot in the back. Did anyone think that was a heads up to how he probably did die in the last scene of the show.
Shit 🥲
Ray Liotta was offered the Tony Soprano role on the show.
No he wasn't, he was offered the part of Ralphie.
05:20 "But there is no indication in this scene that they are a couple yet". Yes there is. She is wearing Tony's varsity letterman jacket. In US culture, a boy gives a girl his letterman jacket as a "going steady" gift which also serves as a "she's taken" warning to other potential suitors. No, they are definitely dating in that scene.
Edit: Also, did you see how she was staring at Tony after he borrowed a dime at the payphone? They were clearly dating. Did you even watch the movie, Looper writers?
Small details 'you' missed...what makes u think they have missed? Have some respect! Use "might have"..
“You must’ve been at the top of your f**kin’ class..”
This was a good film DONT let these people fool you were going to get a lot of explanation here soon I love how they used dickie in this his death will be used to push tony closer to junior I especially like how Christopher grows up thinking his dad is a drug addict because he was found with livs pills we are going to see tony become evil and I’m excited Michael did a great job playing his fathers character this is a trip down memory lane nothing will ever be as good as the sopranos
Movie sucked.
Wow! I never knew that Good Fellas', Henry Hill's wife was Tony's therapist! That some really good acting to just totally change up like that!
Yeah, who would recognize that voice of hers?
1:37 I already where this was going😂😂💀
Tony’s mom is cute in this movie
This movie was so bad. Absolutely pointless.
The interaction between Vera and Michael was most like Livia and Tony's when he was at the kitchen table protesting that he never used pot and complained, "I'm always bein' accused!!" and she retorted with her famous, "Oh, poor you!" Loved it.
The small details the film makers missed, a story, a decent script, balls to make a good movie
And if any of you missed this when you first watched, then you are more of a stunad then Tony Blundetto
I wanted to watch prequel about Phil's 20 years in the can, I compromise, I watched Dickie's story instead.
good one
20 years in the can? Phil never mentioned that...
I agree with these comments. If you missed these details then you didn’t see the movie!!!!
*HE DOESN'T HAVE THE MAKINGS TO BE A VARSITY ATHLETE*
Went over everyone's head
A small detail David Chase didnt see was Jon Bernthal getting the lines wrong in the Carnival flashback scene .. I couldn't believe they let that go 🤦
I noticed that too
@@gigidayz6936 In the flashback during the show it is seen as how Tony "remembered" the incident. It may not have actually happened exactly that way.
Also, during the show Janice said that Junior and his goomah were there when Johnny Boy shot a hole through Livia's hairdo because it was Junior's goomah that told the story. We learn from the movie it was actually Dickie and his goomah that were there.
Many Saints never had the makings of a varsity prequel…
Perfect. 😂
Awesome!!!
What culture > looper
Bobby Baccalieri, Sr.- You have them all fooled! Junior- Yeah that's right.
How could anyone miss that Chris is narrating it? He literally tells you he is at the start of the movie
Wait, no real indication that Tony & Carm are a couple yet? Isn’t she wearing his jacket in the scene?
How do you know these things were missed? You’re not the only one that understands the story line.
How about when Dickie implied that life was a big nothing and Silvio was confused.
Yes, I picked up on that too. It's obvious that dickie suffered from depression, a running theme in the sopranos. I also feel like he had "therapy sessions" with his uncle in prison, it was his way too get some guidance.
It's a little unnerving how good Michael plays a young Tony. Many more projects as a younger Tony in his future it appears.
Was the movie perfect no, but it open up so many paths to go down in that universe. For example I was fascinated with Johnny and Olivia I want more of their story, also show us Johnny and Tony interacting as Tony dips his toes into the underworld, so yeah....more movies please.
David chases part is more significant than you think, he’s playing eckle dimeo, the head of the whole family
*Hercule
Ercole
Chase also appears as a court portrait that Junior gets mad over seeing on the news.
One thing we didn’t miss was character development. Their was none. But they did focus on social injustice and that’s important.
I agree that they crammed too much story into one movie. This would have been a fantastic miniseries. The whole movie could have been spread over a dozen episodes ending in Dickie's death. In that scenario, all the characters could be flushed out. As for "social justice", you must be new to historic fiction and to David Chase. The historic Newark Rce Riots were important IRL plot devices in the series, mentioned numerous times and involved in many plots. If you think David Chase would base a prequel in the Newark riots and NOT use it as an opportunity to introduce a character who is victim of both the protagonist AND law enforcement, then you don't know Chase at all.
20 freaking years in the can , and not a peep. for this?
What pisses me off, is Silvio Dante in the series is born in 1957 and was a childhood friend of Tony's... yet in 1967, Tony is 7 or 8, but Silvio is already a respected member of the DiMeo crime family? What the hell is that bullshit?
Carmella is wearing Tony's football team jacket. A clear indicator they are dating
True, I wish they would expanded on that.
Rotten tomatoes gave this film EXACTLY what it deserved. 7.1/10.0
It was a good movie. Not a masterpiece but good
And in case you're still wondering..... Tony died, that's why they did the famous fade to black. Chase has explained he did that because when you die you don't know what happens
Chase has stated emphatically for that Tony does not die.
I had no idea that was Christopher narrating the movie! Mind is blown!
Killing Christopher in the Sopranos was the dumbest thing ever. He should’ve been Tony’s successor.
the main reason this movie didn’t work was because there wasn’t enough gabagool
young silvio acted like he was doing a comedic impression of silvio. What an underwhelming movie.
Things you didn't miss in the many Saint of newark
If you thought this movie was good, you ain’t a true sopranos show fan. This movie actually was so underwhelming and disappointing. Smh
This movie was incredible. Loved all the references from the show
If your a real fan then you would know chris voice. Tony never choked him he suffocates him on his own blood after the Cadillac flipped
Diehard Sopranos fans did not miss these details.
If u notice tony throws carmrla off when hes fighting the kid just like how he did the same when he fought bobby
If this movie would have been directed by Martin Scorsese it would have been way better with David Chase as a consultant, he clearly can't do an entire movie...i did think Michael Gandolfini did an awesome job as young Tony and it was cool at the end with the theme music and him holding Dickies hand!! They should do a series of young Tony just like they did a series as young Sheldon...I think they have lightning in a bottle with that and shouldn't waste it!!
Going for a quick view grab huh looper.
First detail, Michael imperioli is Christopher. Ok I’ve had enough.
The ages dont line up. Chrissy says during the Uncle Pat's farm episode that Tony was about 8-9 years older...This scene would put him at least 15 years older.
Because they wanted James’s son to be in it but also wanted to show what happened to Dickie so they retconned the ages
You may have also missed that this movie is set in New Jersey
What about Little Joe can sure sing album ?
Yes I did a LOL when I saw it
In the trailer, the narrative voice, in the beginning, is a simulated James Gandolfini voice. But in the movie it's Chris voice.
Only way one could've missed all of this is if they DIDN'T watch the movie in general
MSON should’ve been precise for being a “Prequel-Like, Soprano Story.” While it wasn’t bad, it should’ve been better!
If you seriously 'missed' any of these details, you shouldn't have been watching this film.
If you actually missed any of these you must have fallen asleep or something
I missed the part where a coherent plot started, maybe the plot will be in the next movie
I felt like the racial aspect of the film was unnecessary, especially when it’s revealed that junior killed dickie
How was this not a series?
I feel robbed
I think the movie should have been a 2 part pilot TV episode to a prequel mini-series.
