I heard a lot of people say that. I still haven't seen the thing yet myself, but your complaint is one I heard often (and the clips I watched at length left me cold).Maybe for the best? Bedrockgames brought up Many Saints of Newark the soprano prequel movie. I thought it was pretty weak as a story overall. A lot of that had to do with the movie trying to accomplish way too much. It was at least 8 episodes of material crammed into a 2 hour movie. Movies just dont have the time to encompass a large scope like a series can. It has really expanded what is possible for a writer(s).
Is it for the best, though? I don't know--tough call. I unplugged a long time ago, so I no longer even get any kind of TV anymore, whereas I do still watch lots of movies, so it's mostly the downside of that migration that comes across my screen. Still, shows like The Wire, The Sopranos, Battlestar Galactica, The Expanse, and numerous others have impressed me enough from online clips that I've bought them on BD and will re-buy a few of them on 4K (something I almost never do). I'll still say in a better culture--a culture less dominated by Twitter, Facebook, and TikTok--there'd be enough decent writers to go around so that both movies and TV could flourish. But now I'm just loping off into one of my counterfactual scenarios again...
