Unfortunately you can really tell it was written by a man, a man who clearly hasn't done much research into the topic.

The characters are so stereotypical it hurts, which really let things down. The character arcs make no sense and then the way the scenes chop between each other is just jarring.

Wanting a good origin movie for Tony Soprano, not watching his predecessors "sort of" doing some organised crime.

It started off very badly when I read the plot summary for the movie and it said "the most iconic mob boss of all time", I assume they forget about the Corleone family and two more iconic mob bosses in those movies.

Then I started the movie, the actors were all very well cast, from Tony's mum and dad to his uncle and "uncle".

The story was very boring and the wrong part of Tony's life to put into a movie, how this got greenlit is just astounding to me when all the big selling movies currently are huge visual dumpster fires of explosions and guns.

I feel like the whole movie should of been a montage and the movie should of started with Dickie in his coffin and Tony imagining doing the pinkie swear with him.

Overall, disappointed but not surprised really.

Its not the movie, I feel when making the show they knew they couldn't make something as good as Snatch, but what I felt they did amazingly is it captures the feel of the movie, with none of the big name actors, yet instead its full with an all young main cast who were very enjoyable to watch together.

The series follows a typical Snatch/ Lock Stock or similar movie type story of them constantly chasing the payday which keeps moving and I felt overall they did this well.

Don't get me wrong its not the best series ever with not the best script made ever but it captured the feeling of Snatch which I am very happy about.

I would rather watch more of this kind of series or movie then more superhero movies/series that are being pumped out year after year.
