Good drama in parts, but too much homage and humor

Rating: 6/10 (9 April 2016)

This type movie isn't my thing, I liked Pulp fiction/Jackie Brown a lot, and True Romance is an all time favorite. Since then QT has gone more to the B movie throwback action and humor elements. Dusk till dawn and Kill Bill for me are entirely unwatchable. Movies done with more drama, and less but carefully selected moments for the humor, are more interesting for me personally. It seems like a lazy way to write, focusing on visuals and absurdities. The moments of drama in DU are very good, and the actors are as well. Then you have the shootouts with blood spraying everywhere, which is for me boring and dumb. QT is writer/director/actor, and much of the focus is on the visual. There are no particular areas that QT is shooting for that are not done pretty well, it's mostly a matter of taste. I wish he would do more stuff similar to the 3 great movies I mentioned earlier. To me QT is making movies that are more fun to direct than to watch,but then this is what some people are after.....That said I will look forward to giving "Hateful eight a viewing". Hoping QT gets back back to the style of some of his other work.
