The Painfully never ending story

Rating: 3/10 (23 August 2019)

Big fan of QT - have enjoyed every movie he's made countless times...but
This film was incredibly painful. I found myself looking at the time wondering if the film would end and put itself out of its misery. If this is a new genre of movie, as some have said, it will fall onto the list of genres that I won't pay to see...nor...watch at home. A waste of time...and...the cost of admission.
The clever lines in the script that are so typical of QT's movies fail to make an appearance. The opening 1-1/2 hours is like watching paint dry. This is an amazing cast...all lending their vast talents yo the film. Individual characters were good, but unlike QT's other movies where every scene is stellar, this film flames out. The bottom line for me...a very long movie that fails to have much to offer.
Ironically...a film about a has been actor is a bit like a director foreshadowing his career crashing with releases such as this.
QT...have you forgotten what has made your films so notable and great?
With more films like this that would appear to be the case.
