The Review: The Many Saints Of Newark



The Many Saints Of Newark 5/10


I checked out The Many Saints Of Newark and it was not what I was expecting. I thought I would be seeing what a young Tony was like and how he came to be and got the story of his uncle with a bit of Tony sprinkled in. Not enough to show me what made him the way he ended up being. I did not watch the last few seasons of the original Soprano's series but I know how it all ended so I wasn't super hype about this or anything. It was just fine to me. There is a whole side story that either did not need to be involved, be a whole other series, or actually delved into. The fact that they spent so much time on this other story felt very out of place. Also, Tony doesn't really become involved in the story until just over an hour in and less than an hour later the movie is over. I don't need to check this out again or anything. This movie was just fine.
