Tired, uninspired and boring.

Rating: Null/10 (25 April 2013)

I honestly don't see the appeal behind Tarantino's films. I haven't ever really liked his films, but still, I gave this a chance. I probably won't watch anymore of his films if he comes out with any future. Pretty much all of his films, apart from pulp fiction, are simply the same thing over and over. All of them focus on the theme of revenge. They all follow the same pattern. Long, extended scenes of characters talking, followed by a scene of violence. Characters talking again, followed by yet another scene of violence. As a result, his films just feel formulaic and typical now. I noticed how online everyone is praising the acting. Jamie Foxx is passable as django, but surprisingly Christopher waltz has received the most amount of praise. I don't know why. He plays the exact same character like he did in inglorious basterds, only this time he is a good character. All the other actors were passable as well, I guess, but they weren't anything to write at home about. The shootouts in this film, yes, they are quite spectacular and well done, but they are the only parts of the film that are worth watching. I went to the theatre with my friend to see this, and generally he likes everything, and he always has something positive to say about the films he watches, but even he came out very underwhelmed and unimpressed by this. I liked how they used the original django theme song at the beginning though, it was a nice touch. Other than that, spend your money on a film that is actually worth watching.
