What a load of carp!

Rating: 1/10 (4 October 2009)

awful... dull..... clumsy... .. bad accents ... The moments that were meant to be amusing were so labored and hammy, it became cringe-worthy.. was he really aiming for small boys aged between 10 and 15??.. cos it certainly looked like it.
It was like sitting through a film directed by an immature teenager ... None of his original flare and intelligence on show here. ' If you were a fan of his fresh, flawless and stylish early work.. you'll be very disappointed... if you are a boy aged between 10 and 15 & like blood and funny accents badly executed, if people being blown up and shot and stuff is your thing, but, like, you need the plot pointed out to you cos sometimes you have trouble understanding things.. and you like 'comic' style scripts...even if they are not terribly well written,.. go see it, you'll probably love it. ..And I mustn't forget to mention the over-loud inappropriate soundtrack.. love the idea of his 'homage' to old films.. it worked sometimes, but there are many more suitable soundtracks out there he could have used that would not have disrupted the film as much as it did. And most of the audience around me thought the same as many had their hands clasped over their ears at times. I'd say watch the trailer, those are the only interesting parts of the whole film ..it goes down hill from there in my opinion. Meanwhile.. bring back the old Tarantino please... where ever he is. I miss him and his genius. I hope he hasn't gone forever.
