Review of The Many Saints of Newark (2021) by Mhbn — 04 Oct 2021
“The Many Saints Of Newark” Is a decent Movie. But the main problem is the pacing and logic. Not only is this movie very short, but as a movie marketed around Tony Sopranos Origin, the movie has very little to do with him.
Out of the Two Hour Runtime, he’s in the movie for less than 30 minutes and does absolutely very little to advance the plot and move the story forward. The Story is very predictable, especially if you’ve seen the series.
The Movie has a lot of nostalgic call backs that only fans will understand and appreciate. Fan service is what carries this movie. For Example, We get to see a flashback from the show happen in the movie again.
Or see Christopher as a baby. Or when Uncle Junior says that Tony doesn’t have the makings of a varsity athlete. The Movie for some reason is narrated by Christopher, and makes absolutely no sense.
If Tony doesn’t know the full story how can Christopher a baby in this movie, know exactly what happened. It’s these kind of things that are only in the movie for fan service and if you think about it makes no sense.
Overall This Movie is not very good, it’s not the worst movie I’ve seen this year far from it. But in terms to the amazing show that came before it, and it’s legacy; this movie falls very short.
