Alot of people are rating this move o n the low side. I think your all basing these stars on an expectation that it would be a look into the past exactly as the series was. I think it's close to perfect. It's a very artful way to show Tony's other side. That was the whole point of the sopranos in the first place and the creation of the anti hero. I would of rather not seen sylvio portrayed like that, and where was Pauly? I do feel that David chase missed a gigantic opportunity to answer alot of questions we all had and some pretty big holes in the original plot. Also I think it could of had alot More, how do I say it? Action? Maybe ? Or suspense? It was rather dull. I thought it was a great movie, but I expected ALOT more out of this, hopefully there is going to be a sequel to the prequel lol
