Great director, great actors, what could go wrong? A top billed A-List cast, and the acting is good, but they don't have a lot to work with. The sets and costumes are great, it's a lavish throwback to the 60s and no mistake. No expense has been spared on this movie. The film for me was far too longwinded and I love all of Tarantinos films, but this one was a major let down. It just fails to deliver anything really dramatic or even remotely exciting, which is what I was hoping for. Until the last 30 minutes, it's a bit if a drag and had it been a directorial debut, I think the movie would have been more harshly criticised. I've watched a lot of movies and whilst I'm by no means a film critic, I get the impression this movie is a labour of love and film that Tarantino wanted to make. It's a story of a fading TV serial actor that has ended up making cameo appearances in other TV Shows and pilots to make ends meat. There's a sub plot that runs alongside the main story and that's the more interesting aspect of the film. If you're going to see this movie and expecting another Pulp Fiction, you'll be disappointed. If you're going to see this movie and expecting Django Unchained, you'll be bitterly disappointed. In my opinion, the movie is a very mediocre, over long, and self indulgent project for the director. I don't think he'll care one bit that some people don't really like it. I always judge a movie by this yard stick. Would I want to watch it again and the answer had to be no for this movie
