Review of The Many Saints of Newark (2021) by Juve2Death — 01 Dec 2021

"THE MANY SAINTS OF NEWARK" is a decent movie that does not live up to the standards of the Sopranos in terms of dialog, drama, acting, humor or character/story development. That doesn't mean it isn't a decent movie.

For any Sopranos fan this movie is a must see, and although Tony's background is not the center of the story, it does give insights into the social environment prior to the Sopranos. Some key mistakes ruin the immersion, such as consistently not correctly pronouncing Moltesanti or the absolut terrible acting by the actors who portrayed Sil, Junior or Johnny - then again those characters are hard to re-enact.

Not the worse acting I have seen, but not good enough for a Sopranos prequel.
