Awful

Rating: 1/10 (18 April 2014)

Would you please join me in bringing down the silly 8.5, #51 top movie rating this movie currently has? I'm no fan of Tarantino, but at least I could appreciate Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs (until the cop beating), most of Kill Bill 1 & 2, and two parts of Inglorious Basterds, particularly the dialogues. This one I tried to watch a second time and again couldn't go pass the 1-hour mark. Twice I've failed to even get to DeCaprio and Jackson! No interesting dialogues to be found and to hold my attention, not even Waltz'. I must conclude it's the Tarantino juvenile fans who've mostly voted here, who consider a film is great if it has, as someone else wrote, witty dialogue ("Permit me to parley with you"), excessive profanity ('nigger'), excessive violence (including testicles getting blown off), and soulful (more like retro) musical score. What about an interesting story? Am I supposed to enjoy 3 hours of killing bad guys a la Inglorious Basterds because it is supposedly politically correct? After watching an hour of Django and his friend kill all those white bastards I kind of got the idea of what the next 105 minutes would be and that I wouldn't enjoy them as I didn't enjoy the first sixty, similar to my experience with "Wolf of Wall Street". I'm a huge fan of spaghetti westerns, and consider Once Upon a Time in the West one of the great films, yet I do not believe Leone would sit through this one. The high rating of Once... and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly made me a believer in this website users. Now I question whether they truly appreciate the art in those films.
