So I must have missed the point

Rating: 3/10 (28 July 2019)

If I'm quite honest I walked out of the movie theatre just the same as I walked in. I purposefully didn't look at any trailers or read anything on the film. Seeing how I absolutely loved The Hateful Eight I thought that this, or anything by Tarantino for that matter, would be great. I was wrong. This movie was a whole lot of, well, nothing.
My impression of this film is that Tarantino got bored of not being in the spotlight and just wrote a script over a weekend and gathered up as many big names he could to make this movie. So let me first start on a positive note, the acting is incredible. Leo and Brad are very convincing in their roles. Everyone else was good too, but most of the big names had very very little parts to play. Dakota Fanning was in this movie for maybe 5 minutes to play a crackhead. Tommy Lee Jones say in a bar from start to finish and he only got about 5-10 minutes of screen time.
So back to the point, I don't really know how to write this bad review. Mostly because I don't know what I just watched. I don't know what the point of this movie was. If I had to give a rundown of it and explain the whole thing, this is what it would be... (don't worry, no spoilers here. Not that there's anything to spoil)
Leo and his stunt double had buzzing careers in the film industry, when Leo finds out that he doesn't have the audience he once did and his career is going downhill at record speed, he decides to start acting in Italian films. Meanwhile Margot Robbie was just the neighbour and wife of a famous director. She spends her time in this movie simply walking around town. Leo starts filming and is struggling with remembering his lines. Brad Pitt drives around, then fixes Leo's antenna that blew down. Then he goes for a drive and picks up a 16 year old hooker. Takes her back to her trailer park and there's he goes to see his old boss there. The kids get angry and slash his tires and he beats the one up and makes him fix the tire. After that he picks up Leo and Drives home. They go drinking and then get back home. Then there's a break in and a big fight with the hippies, Brad goes to the hospital and Leo goes to meet his neighbor. The end.
Firstly, the hippies had no real reason to want to kill Leo. They were high and explained that they wanted to kill all the people who taught them to kill in movies. Pretty weak, I didn't buy it. But okay sure.
Brad Pitt apparently killed his wife. We see a 15 second flashback to that scene and nothing after. There was never any follow up.
I don't understand what the neighbors role was in this movie. Margot Robbie was all over the cover of this film but literally all she does is walk around town then go see a movie, then go to a dinner with her friends.
This entire movie was just a waste of good talent and my time. I don't see how people are rating it so highly. Maybe I was just wrong for expecting something with a little more Action or mystery like his last film. The critical reception is very good for this movie so hopefully he uses that not to make another movie like this but to get back to his old style.
