What happened?

Rating: 4/10 (27 August 2019)

I was very excited about seeing this as the trailer made the film look great, classic Tarantino.
*spoiler alert!!!*
Out of the 161 mins runtime I'd say the last 25/30 mins are what you'd come to expect from a Tarantino film. The first 130 mins? I'll be honest I stopped caring very quickly, it was slow & went no where. There seemed to be lots happening to different people with 0 conclusion as to why they were doing what they did, no backstories filled out, no explanation given. Reading the reviews on here I wondered whether we'd seen different films, a lot of people are saying 70's retro cool etc etc, I guess if you're interested in that era then fine, I see why it'd appeal to you visually. I just wish there were a semblance of a story which ran through the whole film. Kill Bill this isn't!
