Not sure if this has been brought up yet but saw this trailer the other night....definitely will watch. Didn't realize his son played him. Couple of the cast are good as well.

I hope I did not offend anybody with this post. If I did, please come see me at my address in my profile so we can talk.

The Gandolfini kid looks like a total doofus if we are being honest.

I love the sopranos and will watch this the weekend it drops and probably love it too, but what an underwhelming trailer.

Well I'd say most of the reactions on those other threads would disagree with you.

I'm jacked for this one and think it looks great. Can't wait.

The kid may look goofy but Tony was really an affable kind of goof himself. His violent actions belied his real persona by nature which we saw many times trying to crack jokes with his kids, laugh, tease people, play some pranks, etc. That guy as a young man would definitely be goofy. Becoming a violent mobster - that's from nurturing.

It's all gonna be in the delivery.

But the casting looks amazing especially Liv Soprano and Johnny, Junior and Dickie Moltisanti which are key roles in shaping Tony.

I should've been more clear, I wasn't disparaging his looks, but questioning his acting ability. His late father was an amazing actor who could - without a word - express any emotion at all on his face. The kid may also be a talented actor but in the trailer it mostly seemed like he lacked the charisma and presence that his father oozed.

James Gandolfini was 38 years old when he began playing the role of Tony.

Michael Gandolfini is 22 years old now. I doubt James had any of that charisma and presence at that age, and with regards to the movie...isn't that going to sort of be part of the point of it? It's a glimpse into a young Tony and some insight into how he came to be as an older man and leader.

Agreed.

I would expect any kid, even a future mobster, to be less charismatic at a younger age.

I also think we likely haven't been shown any scenes that are more like "that's tony" intentionally. I expect a transformation within this movie and it appears we have been shown early stuff for the younger Tony.

Should we be concerned there are no early reviews of this film?

Thought I had seen people say that if a studio isn't allowing pre release screening to critics it was a good sign it may not be good.

Should we read into this? We're 10 days away from release

If there aren't reviews by this time next week, then I'd worry. But 10 days out and no reviews is still relatively normal.

Over the past couple weeks, I'd also seen a number of wink-wink tweets from certain trusted journalists implying the movie was pretty good, so I wasn't too worried.

Just finished watching. I thought it was good for what it is but you feel shorted when it ends as you want more. Chase should have turned this into a series instead of movie. Missed the boat there in my opinion. If this is a series it's lights out.

Just finished it. I liked it a lot, but I wanted more Tony. It definitely should've been a prequel mini series. I got chills at the end when Woke up this morning come on. I might just rewatch the whole damn thing again for about the 10th time.

HBO would be smart if they made "Many Saints" into a series.

100%

James Gandolfini's kid was really good, imo.

Can almost guarantee that this is their thinking. Do the movie, and if it flops or is only big with the Sopranos diehards, whatever. its just more IP for HBO Max. But if its huge, or the acclaim/crossover appeal is there, you throw a vault of money at Chase and Co. and greenlight the series. Treat it almost like a publicly viewed pilot.

Chase has mentioned doing a sequel movie, but not a series. Sounds like a legit possibility. Gandolfini, however, said he would only do one sequel, and doesn't want to keep play his dad his multiple movies after that.

Kinda sounds like what a lot of us said for El Camino (A Breaking Bad Movie)

I thought it was okay, but a bit disjointed. Would rather have seen more focus on young Tony and his maturation from young punk to grown man.
