I love Tarantino. All my favourite movies are QT movies, but he is rapidly going downhill in my opinion. The Hateful Eight was ok. This is more of the same, probably worse. Now, it looks and sounds great. It's shot well and all the cast and crew did a great job. Other than that, though, NOTHING HAPPENS. A complete waste of three and a half hours. I waited and waited and waited for the story to kick-in and for this film to get going. All of a sudden it looked like it was about to. Two minutes later the movie is over. Maybe I'm just getting old. My musical tastes are stuck in the 90s and no new films will compare to Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown, or even Kill Bill from the early aughts, so maybe I've just turned into the old guy complaining about new things and how they were all better "in my day," and that they don't make them like they used to. Who knows? Not me, at least. The most pointless three hours plus I've ever wasted, which is time I'll never get back.

As I've mentioned, all the technical stuff is brilliant, so if you like all that then you'll love this. Likewise the time period - if you love the look of cinema back then there will be plenty for you to enjoy. There just isn't a story at all. Tarantino rewrites a lot of history for his movies (see Hitler's death in Inglorious Basterds) but it wasn't enough to add something to this. Just a bloated waste of time.

Lots of people liked this so I'll just conclude by saying this just wasn't my cup of tea, and hope that QT returns to form for his next movie. I'd love him to try Sci-Fi, as that would a new one for him and I reckon he could make something amazing. Not sure if he's into that type of thing, though.

Anyhow...... go away now.
