Christopher had hostility towards Tony, but not Junior? Voice over didn't make sense.
Great point here too, didn't think about this until now.

I guess even in death Christopher never knew that Junior had his father killed (hell, tony probably never knew either). Tony has always lied to Christopher about his father as a way to keep him in line. And it all culminated when Tony showed chris the cop and told him that was the man that killed Dickie. But I have to agree, the VO was kinda out of place.
That is Jackie AprileI had this mixed up. Animal Blundetto IS the kid holding down the ice cream driver w/ Tony...but it's Artie who made the racist taunt @ Harold and the one driving the truck.
Just finished it up on HBO.
It was cool to see a lot of these characters in their time before the TV show. The casting for Silvio was absolutely brilliant. The head lean, the hunched walk, the scowl….WOW! Junior busting balls like always
Overall, I hate to say it but this was a pretty meh movie overall. I didn’t hate it but it wasn’t very good. It’s pretty uneventful in terms of the TV show and it is very minimal about Tony (which is what you’d be lead to believe). It started out strong for me but never picked up or even maintained. The biggest part that made no sense to me was some of the glaring differences from the story in the show:
*Spoiler alert (not really spoilers but details)*
Dickie was said to have been an addict in the TV show, definitely not the case here. Also in the show, Tony remembers that Dickie was killed because of a beef with Jilly Ruffalo, a man he was in prison with. Jilly murdered Dickie's cell mate and Dickie gouged out his eye in revenge. Definitely not the case in the movie
In all honesty the ending would’ve been great for the beginning of the movie we THOUGHT this would be about. So maybe it’s just part 1 of a 2-3 part set?
I kinda disagree, I thought it was solid. Not elite, but very nuanced goodness.
Tony talkin to the principal. Shows his future with therapist.
The way they handled Jr bein the one, caught me way outta left on that, and over some dumb ****
The fact that the Soprano family ran everything, yet Jackie is the boss from the start of S1. Tony throwin out the speakers, I don't want this. His dad "what this"?
The bell in the restaurant.
The portrayals of his mom, Jr, Paulie, Sil and of course young Tony, so well done by all.
My one regret, they didn't show the card game that made Tony and Jackie. But, maybe that's a sequel.
I thought they did a good job. The Easter Eggs, the prequel foreshadowing of who they'd all become, Carmella mention, Hesh, the restaurant guy, Jackie etc.
I thought that Sil impersonation was so bad and over the top. Paulie’s was fine but not great. You could tell who it was.

One thing I will give the movie credit for, it made Junior into an even bigger petty fragile mother****er. Mans was already peak petty and fragile in the series,
I didn't think that was possible, but they did it
She just couldn't keep her damn mouth shut
I see alot of people thought Tony was going to be the focus in this. The way they marketed the film (especially in the last couple months) clearly showed that Dickie was the the main character in the film.
"Many Saints" = Moltisanti
bruh what? Watch this trailer and tell me they didn’t market it around Tony
Even the poster literally says nothing about Dickie
