It was a little disappointing, tbh. Pretty slow paced, although I think most Sopranos fans will be satisfied with the details and subtleties.

My biggest compliment is that it could stand on its own as a fantastic gangster film. Really loved it and it felt like a massive throw back.
I like The Sopranos but I wouldnât say I love it like some do, but what I will say is this had just enough fan service to make me feel quite nostalgic to the series and Iâm sure super fans will be over the moon.
I actually think this film is a lot better than it has the right to be, I had it in my mind it would come across as a tacky cashgrab but it was made with some real love and affection. Type of movie Iâd much rather see in the cinema over Bond.
The cast, background track and cinematography were all fantastic. Pains me to imagine the lovely Vera Farmiga as Tonyâs ghastly mom in the series, though she like everyone else did a great job.

Iâm going to be working my way through the best Bond filmsâŚwatched Goldeneye last night and just about to put on Goldfinger.
Actually, think that has inspired me to do a poll!
Really enjoyed this. Ryan Reynolds rarely dissapoints.

Smart move not making this in the James Bond thread, thatâs the place where people go to have their dreams smashed.

I will say about this throw back thing, again it will be great for Sopranos fans, but for others theyâve seen how Godfather Ii went back, and moreover it was used for Carlitoâs Way also (separate movie, like this one is), so it isnât exactly novel.
? I seen it on Saturday lol
Iâve lost the plot! Was it any good?
Very good.
Thats all Iâm saying haha
Good to hearâŚnow be honest did you pretend to walk around your house with a gun being Bond, after watching the film?

I love both those films youâve mentioned and I donât consider this movie derivative of them in any way. Perhaps A Bronx Tale but honestly I consider it far more as a homage to Goodfellas which you could argue is what The Sopranos always wanted to be- but imo could never truely master. Yet theyâve done it here and thatâs poetic.
The Many Saints of Newark is low key one of the best films Iâve watched all year. Sure it might not be for you and everyone but itâs made me realize Iâm more reminiscent of The Sopranos than I actually knew.
I think this is type of film that will slip under the radar this year- partly due to the name of the movie which makes it difficult for people to realize the connection but I think as time goes on it will gain cult status and stand alone from the TV show, which it really deserves to do.

I can remember, on an aside, the Ben Affleck film âThe Townâ did this to me a few years back. And I hated Ben Affleck back then, lol.

The Townâs an amazing film. Maybe one of the best heist films ever in my book, though I find Heat terribly overrated and most would say that.

Heat, funnily enough, has aged like a fine wine over time in my eyes. However, Al Pacino horribly overacts in it. Itâs garish.
If you like heist stuff, watch Money Heist.
Going back to the Town, it was well acted by Renner, Affleck and that English actress.

Is a fantastic actor, mad to think he was a guest star back in House in the day when he was starting out.
You ever seen Wind River with him, itâs by the director of Sicario and itâs sublime.

I honestly think Wind River is one of the best movies ever, at least one of the best thrillers ever. Has that kind of 90s, Jodie Foster type vibe to it.
Wind River, Hell or High Water, Sicario and No Country for Old Men - now thereâs a themed movie marathon
