Unions built this country when it built stuff. AND unions will save this country from the shitty “gig economy” BS that’s destroyed the service sector currently. Our economy has matured but there is ZERO reason service sector employees can’t be paid a living wage.

Not for nothing, but regarding that certain character who you “can’t see killing a made guy out of spite”...him doing exactly that (at least attempting to) is a pretty major plotline of the series.

As someone who hates mob movies but loved The Sopranos almost against my will, I totally agree with the review. It was just a typical mobster story full of the usual 60s soundtrack shout outs that make me tired. The Gandolfini stunt casting didn't help.

A-friggin-men. I just finished this utter whiff of a movie and agree with every single word of this review.

Yeah, this was not good. Way too many too-cute callouts to the show. Most of the actors playing younger versions of Sopranos characters looked like they stepped out of an SNL skit. (Only young Gandolfini and, especially, the actress who played young Janice, came out OK.) Dowd is 100% right that you get no sense about…

Dialed in, exploitative crap. Chase and associates clearly lost interest in the Sopranos during the last season of the show and by his own admission became hostile towards the show’s fans for hero worshiping Tony Soprano  and giving us the ambiguous ending for good measure, and now he’s back peddling this stale,…

Funnily enough with reference to the theme song, one of the things the film does that is very interesting to show that Tony really isn’t “The Chosen One”. It’s clear that there’s no expectation that “The son of Johnny Boy Soprano” is the heir apparent to the DiMeo family (ditto with Junior). He’s not in line for it,…

very observant - the sacred and the propane

Dickie Moltisanti is from Carmella’s side of the family. He’s not Tony’s uncle. And neither was Tony Christopher’s “uncle” although he would at times refer to him that way. Perhaps you could say Dickie treated Tony like he was his uncle, and same for Tony with Christopher, but they weren’t blood. 

“Say, do you think we can get the guy that directed both the worst Thor movie AND the worst Terminator movie? WE CAN?!?”

I still say this movie would have been better if it was just 140 minutes of young Tony waking up one morning and he’s got himself a gun.

It can’t be worse than “The Irishman”.

Random comment, but the guy playing Dickie Moltisanti reminds of Richie Aprille every time I see this trailer. 

He was REALLY good as Johnny Boy on the original series. And then he played Fred Goldman on American Crime Story.

This is a thoughtful and, apparently, necessarily harsh review of yet another “Shakespeare in Love” and “Shakespeare in Love” redux. I hope Chase will finally achieve what he wanted with the series, which was apparently for us to not like these guys.

RIP Joe Siravo.

Michael Imperioli reprises the role of Christopher to narrate the story from beyond the grave.

So..... a junior varsity effort?

Are there plastic seat covers on the furniture? If not, deduct one letter grade.

sounds like there will probably be enough reasonably stylized violence for me to jerk off to.
