This is the long awaited "Sopranos" prequel. I have to say that
although I really liked the "Sopranos", and bought the full DVD set,
I was a little disappointed in "Many Saints". However, to be fair, I
have to say a couple of things. Even though I have the deluxe HBO package through AT&T cable TV, I had to watch "Many Saints" through the HBO Max app.. The result was not good. First, I could not get closed caption and had a hard time understanding a lot of the dialog. Second, most of the movie looked like it had been filmed in the dark. The lighting was terrible.

But again, that may have just been a problem with my using the HBO Max app. I don't have those problems with any of the other HBO shows I watch with the regular AT&T cable service.

Bottom line: I am glad I watched it and even happier that I didn't have
to pay any extra fee to do it.

Not only did the Tony character hardly make much of a mark (nothing, really) in this movie, it was mostly about a fictionally-contrived uncle. Plus honestly, it is not in the top-tier of mob movies by any stretch.
Disappointing, as I thought it was to be a tv series dealing with the early adult life of Tony as a mafia up and comer.

Chase should film Gandolphinies heart attack story in Europe where they stole his Rolex off his wrist.

Europe is a s---hole. They earn maybe 2/3 of what an American does for the same job and pay 40% in income tax. No wonder they steal.

Is that true about his Rolex? I read about his heart attack but never heard about his
missing Rolex.

Remembering your repeated poorly-considered inflammatory trollings,
I won't bite, but just remark that you've certainly swallowed the
hook, line and sinker of propaganda.

I read a post and asked if it was true. If that causes you a big
problem -it's your problem.
