There are several reviews suggesting that only die hard fans of the series will enjoy this. Not true. My son and I had watched the entire series twice in the last 12 months. So we were well aware of the references made throughout the film. It just doesn't work as a movie. There are a lot of character introductions at the beginning that become tiresome. Somehow, the Italian Mafia are portrayed as weak and insignificant in the 60s and 70s. And while the Newark riots may well be an important part of Black America history, it felt tagged on and misplaced here. Overall, we left the cinema underwhelmed and disappointed.
