A cartoonish mess

Rating: 1/10 (17 February 2019)

I was expecting a somewhat decent film, given all the Oscar wins and nominations, but I just don't get it. I mean I get Tarantino, but his shock value has worn off for me years ago. The formula never changes- Overwrite the script, mix history with contemporary themes, excessive dialogue, excessive violence, exploitation of, well, everything, Samuel L. Jackson, over-the-top characters, blood, blood, blood. Poor excuse for a film and more importantly, an embarrassing characterization (I think) of the tragedy of slave history in this country. If you enjoyed Wild Wild West (movie) or excessive violence mixed with tongue in cheek humor, you may enjoy, but if you appreciate quality film-making and a creative script, don't bother with this garbage.
