HBO Max Discussion

Man, I am so disappointed. 3 out of 10. It was just all over the place and I felt as though it was trying to tell too many stories at the same time.

7 out of 10-a little better than I thought it would be. It could be the little references to the original (“He doesn’t have the makings of a varsity athlete”) kicked it up a notch for me. On a negative note Young Paulie was crapola-possibly impossible to cast but you’d think they could do better.

Somebody said Many Saints of Newark was a bad version of Goodfellas and American Gangster combined. That is a pretty accurate way of describing it. Too much of the movie leaned toward a bad version of American Gangster. One could argue Harold was really the main focus of the entire movie and it was a more of a back story on him then anything else.

That Sopranos movie was garbage.
Felt like a fan made movie at times. The “impressions” while not bad, came off to me like parodies. I will say though that that Russo guy did a great Uncle Junior.
Too bad, I thought the movie had promise, but it was a train wreck

I enjoyed it but I'm not overjoyed that Chase was talking about a sequel-he dismissed rumors about a series spinning off from the movie.

It was a heavy lift to hit this one out of the park-this was not a masterpiece.

House of The Dragon

I thought that Many Saints was good but not great. I guess the main thing that I enjoyed was just being back in the Sopranos world and I thought the casting and acting was really solid all the way around but the story was subpar.

I think it would have been much better as a series so that they could flesh the characters out more and make things fit together a little better. The reveal at the end was awesome but it could have been much better if everything didn't seem so rushed.

Looking forward to the start of S3 of Succession in about a week and a half!
