I was mislead by all the glowing reviews here

Rating: 6/10 (27 May 2019)

This is the only Tarantino movie I hadn't seen because I hadn't heard much about it, so I thought I should remedy that. I liked every other one, except Death Proof, so I thought there was a good chance I'd like this too, especially after seeing all the glowing reviews on IMDB.
I don't need lots of blood and violence to enjoy a movie, but good writing, editing and tension have always been a Tarantino mainstay that I've enjoyed. Sadly, this didn't seem to have any of those. It's also way too long, at 2.5 hours. It should have been a 1.5hr movie. There's so much unnecessary filler that goes nowhere, which Tarantino calls "hang out" scenes. I could have used much less of them.
Instead of dragging things on like the movie did, I'll just list my pros and cons.
Pros:
-Pam Grier, Samuel L Jackson and Robert Forster are great in this
-Nice soundtrack
Cons:
-Drags on a lot with a lot of dialogue scenes that seem interesting at first but ultimately made me tired of all the slow pacing
-De Niro was wasted on this. His character wasn't interesting at all
-Story was OK but not really that compelling
If you like the "typical" Tarantino movie, don't come in expecting the same quality. If you want something different than his other movies and don't mind slow pacing, you might enjoy this.
