Sorry, Tarantino and Cowboys don't mix well, do more research on Deadwood please!

Rating: 5/10 (13 January 2013)

I don't hate this film for the sheer entertainment action/gore value almost to the point of being bombastic for almost 3 hours. I don't hate this film for the great acting performances and gripping dialogue which made full use of the chemistry between the characters juggling through their cat-and-mouse mindgames typical of a Tarantino-style.
However, I am not convinced that it deserves a nomination this time around. Tarantino must have been trying to outsmart his audience by trying to cover up massive plot holes with chunkful of conversations options 'showing off to the world' how cool this movie is compared to the rest of the action films in the genre. Things I hated are i) the seemingly lazy, recycled material from Inglorious Basterds especially the multi-European language related to Chris Waltz' character. Sorry Tarantino, mixing this with a Cowboy-based setting is just a no-no. ii) The matter of realism was never been taken seriously in any of Tarantino's films which is alright for my review, but to build on a premise of a NON-American travelling with a BLACK on a full suit, weaponry and horse, making themselves so obvious to everyone's attention when they are in the BOUNTY HUNTING business in a ruthless Deadwood era, and manage to outsmart the purportedly stupider local cowboys is beyond preposterous and belittling Tarantino's intelligence or quality towards his trademark. (Even the exaggerated characters made for the alternate reality in Inglorious Basterds had little more sense in their backgrounds) Oh and did i need to mention some of the music scores were off the mark? iii) Dr Schultz killing off random slavers without risked getting a bounty on his own head? Nice try. iv) Django's restraint behaviour even when his loved one is on the verge of 'sent off to N**gger heaven' does not match with Tarantino's aggression style. v) The taunts or threats by the villains are not consistent with a typical Western film, they do too much talking rather than with their guns. vi) A bounty hunter with the skills to hunt down the greatest criminals, came into Candyland with such mediocre preparation is laughable. vii) Why shoot the white girl who defended yours girl in a particular scene?
