I'm having trouble with retconning Silvio to be an older mentor to Tony and not a peer. Timeline got fucked up, indeed.

Yeah that was probably the biggest issue I had with it. The movie made it like Silvio and Paulie were older mentors to Tony whereas the the show made it seem more like Silvio and Tony were more peers.


I always assumed Paulie and Silvio were older but not any more than 10 years. I thought it was hilarious when Silvio had his hair issue in the garage after drilling on that guy



I thought Tony, Jackie, Ralph, and Silvio all went to high school together.

Ralph, I'm not sure about, but Tony and Silvio were high school classmates. They were all contemporaries, certainly.

Yep and Paulie was the older guy.

Just finished it. Reminded me of El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie. Totally unnecessary and not very interesting.

Imperioli narrates for like 60 seconds max in the film. that's ok.

the casting was terrible.

The guy who played the main character Dickie was invisible. It's like they took an extra and made him the lead. He was not convincing and could not carry this movie.

The guy who played Tony's dad, he is in some other shows ive seen, but it's like a cameo in this film. Wasted opportunity. Ray Liotta was wasted too.

The guy who played Junior was shit too. And they disrespected the entire Junior character in making him some kind of joke. Like a clown. There to make us laugh. To amuse us. Stupid.

Why the fuck was Silvio an old fucking man in this? the timelines don't add up to the series. He character was suppose to be born in 1957 and he's like 40 in the 1960s in this movie. WTF?

Wandering movie. No real plot. didnt care for any of the characters. So disinterested at the end.

oh yeah.... David Chase really hates African Americans doesnt he? That's the one consistent thing from the Sopranos to this movie. Fuck him and his arrogant ass. Telling us to watch this shit in the movie theaters. Glad I didn't. I would have fallen alseep.


Glad I'm not the only one who accepts mediocrity. Total bore fest.

silvio and paulie were mentors up to a point, then Tony rose to their level in the organization, and eventually boss.

Someone made a good point on one of the morning zoo radio shows today. The reason why The Sopranos was so great was because of the Tony Soprano character. A movie that focuses on Dickie Moltisanti would be like making a Seinfeld movie that focuses on Kramer's mom. LOL

The influence Dickie had on Tony was obvious. Neither one would stop eating even when their comare was having a complete meltdown.

I liked it. Didn't know most of the characters since I only watched the last episode of the Sopranos and maybe some of the first season but it was a good movie.

You watched the movie but only two episodes of The Sopranos? What's your thinking behind this? LOL

I wanted to watch it in chronological order.

Tony throws speakers out the window and vows to someday kill Dickie's son.

watched it again since it's been a few weeks to see if it could change my original impressions and it just did not.

I am very much agreeable with the Franzese's initial impressions :
