Many Saints of Newark and They Live

ShadowVessel π

Another great Monday, Wednesday, Friday lined up. I am curious to see that Sopranos finale, though

Many Saints is ABYSMAL sorry to say. A bizarre wtf entirely pointless movie with bad performances and much worse story decisions. A stain on Sopranos amazing legacy. Totally disregards established universe elements, even outright ruins a couple things that the show never explained and didn't need to, feels insanely rushed and slopped together, maybe studio meddling I have no idea. I'm shocked David Chase actually was involved, given how serious he has always been about protecting the legacy of the show. God just so bad. I'm sorry you are even watching it. I don't consider it canon WHATSOEVER personally. They Live and Casino for sure. You get to watch one of the best mob movies ever made and one of the worst pretty close together.

Lol. Total disagree. Somethings bothered me but I thought it was good. My only complaint was that it should’ve been a series rather than a movie as things felt a little rushed. I kinda liked how things go down differently than how they are explained on the show. In the show are often hearing details and memories—which are flawed. The only thing that really annoyed me was that Sil was so much older than Tony when in the show it mentions them growing up together & rising thru the ranks together.

Yeah, I don't get the overcorrection. Many saints is bland compared to Sopranos and doesn't have as much depth but if you divorce it from the series it's a pretty average crime thriller. I also don't like that they confirmed some elements that the show left ambiguous, but the reactions are so extreme.

It WOULD be a bland meh crime movie, only it's connected and riding the back of the greatest show ever made, that's why it's horrible, not that it's a GOOD movie in any way even outside of its sopranos connection. There are so many logic lapses it's hard to even list them, you have this HAROLD guy taking up ridiculous amounts of screen time in not even a 2 hour Sopranos world movie, a guy who shoots at made men, kills literal made men, and then stands on a street counting money and smiling at the end, that's just one small thing that totally bucks the laws of the series, there are hordes of them. The ages of characters are all over the place ridiculous, tons of little things just thrown together like that and forced which show how little they cared about respecting the series. Dickie and Tony have next to zero bonding or real weight in this movie and then the end just shoves them into a CLOSENESS at the last second unearned, nevermind the way Tony talks about Dickie in the show there was clearly a lot of history with them, dickie and junior literally have nothing as well and then suddenly Junior kills him because he LAUGHED at him falling down once? And Johnny made a comment once? Just ridiculous. The show also never even remotely gave the hint junior had anything to do with the death, not even the most buried subtextual hint. Nothing has any depth or nuance or real substance unlike the show. It's just things being done to be done and make a movie because David Chase openly says he wanted to make a Newark riots movie and used Sopranos name to do it. That's it. The performances are BAD outside of Dickie and a couple others, total caricatures of the characters. The execution and directing is insanely subpar and feels rushed, movie looks visually bad, it's just a bad movie. The fact that it is already pretty much being forgotten among even hard Sopranos fans is evidence enough that it was a total creative dud. I am a hardcore Sopranos fan, I WANTED it to be great and was hyped, I even watched it like 3 times just hoping to somehow change the way I viewed it first, and it never changes. I know David Chase always said he didn't like TV and wanted to be a film writer/director but he isn't good at it from all evidence there. His other movie, which he also wrote and directed himself, Not Fade Away, is pretty mediocre, though FAR better than this. TV and long form story is clearly where he excels.

You should give Not Fade Away another chance. That movie is…give it another shot. I love it. I wasn’t big on it the first time but I watched it again and I think it’s one of the most underrated movies made within the last 10 years. I think it’s pretty interesting that Chase actually HATED Many Saints after it was filmed. Then they did some reshoots on it that transformed the movie for him. But I def hate that Chase is so anti tv. He sees it as slumming and I can only imagine the great TV we’ve been robbed of because he refused to do anymore multi season TV after Sopranos. I would’ve love for him to do a Twilight Zone style anthology show. Or a mystery of some sort.

Well unlike Many Saints I did actually enjoy that movie and found it to be pretty decent at least, it had some really strong elements and I appreciated that it was about a band who never made it for a change as opposed to the usual success story, the ending I remember was where I found it a little underwhelming but yeah its been a little while. I may give it a rewatch soon. I did enjoy it though, when I say it was a little mediocre it's probably not the best terminology, it was a well done movie, I mostly meant just not on a Sopranos level, but that one was still a solid movie overall I thought, whereas Many Saints I just think is a total mess. I agree him doing a Twilight Zone or a similar type show would be amazing. His writing style would fit that perfectly and I think he is a big Twilight Zone fan. He had a miniseries in the works at HBO some years back that sounded good, Ribbon of Dreams I think, but it fell through somehow. I don't mean to be harsh on him or anything, he is one of the greatest creators of all time and has inspired me for many years, I just think this particular project didn't work personally and possibly not even due to him, these things happen.
