People keep obsessing over the references to the series, but really, whose fault is that if you didn't watch the original show?
I found it deeply satisfying.
And besides, why on earth would anyone expect Tony and Sil to be the same age?
If you actually watch the show—which, I mean, if you're paying attention—it mentions that Tony, Jackie, and Silvio were all part of the same crew back when they pulled off that heist against Feech La Manna.

The biggest issue for me was how much screen time got sucked away by trivial stuff—like the clutter and that whole affair subplot that dragged on for nearly half the movie. They really should have leaned harder into the dynamics between Dickie, Tony, Junior, and Johnny Boy, who was honestly a huge letdown since he barely had anything to do. Personally, I thought the payoff involving Junior was pretty decent—he feels like exactly the kind of guy who’d pull something like that off—but the connection between him and Dickie felt rushed. They barely shared any actual scenes together.
It also bugged me how much they tried to force those callbacks to the show. Especially that "sister's cunt" line... in the series, it landed perfectly because it felt like a spontaneous outburst, but here it just feels repetitive, like he says it every single time things go sideways. 🤦
I haven't seen anyone else mention this yet, but they definitely messed with the ages of the characters. Tony and Silvio should basically be peers, but in this version, Silvio looks at least ten years older than he should be.

If nobody else had jumped on this yet, I was thinking about kicking off a thread for the new Premier League season—maybe get ahead of the curve before the big game this Saturday kicks off.

The bar is pretty low—we aren't expecting anyone to drop a twelve-post masterpiece—though I won't complain if someone actually puts in the effort—just looking for a basic intro to the new season.
I'll take the lead on that—I'll try to have something put together by the time the Community Shield kicks off tomorrow.
