Too Long....Too Talkative

Rating: 6/10 (30 January 2012)

I like most of Tarantno's movies so I don't write this review as a QT hater by any means. That being said, this movie is just too self-absorbed for its own good. Way too much dialog that just rambles on and on...seemingly without end in some places. It's a 2.5 hour movie that could have easily 2 hours if not a little less. Couldn't QT bring himself to cut anything from this movie?? It's filled with scenes that are pointless and add nothing to the plot, and many of the scenes that DO add to the movie are simply too long and glib for their own good. Sometimes I think Tarentino is addicted to the sound of his own dialog and as a result has his actors just prattle along without end. "Death Proof" had the same problem.
Overall it was a solid flick but it could have been far better.
