I really wanted to like it, but...

Rating: 3/10 (31 July 2019)

I remember the first time I saw the trailer. I got really hyped about it because it looked so good, AND it's a film by Quentin Tarantino. But the movie couldn't live up to the fantastic trailer. The only good thing about this movie? The performances by the cast, especially by Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt. Also, the cinematography is great.
However, nothing else really is good about this movie. The story, I mean the stories keep going parallel to each other. Random subplots kept popping up and confusing incidents keep happening. You keep waiting for something interesting to happen but nothing does. Margot Robbie's character has nothing to do with Leo's or Brad's other than living in Leo's house next door.
Despite those flaws, you don't really get bored because you keep waiting for the climax where all of these might come together and make sense, but it never happens. The climax is typical Tarantino blood, violence and extreme gory, which was probably the most exciting part of the movie.
One thing I wanted to mention that this movie has the worst editing during one scene, on any movie I have ever seen. When Tim Olyphant's character meets Leo for the first time, they just cut out two of Tim's dialogs, and I was astonished to see how terribly it was edited out.
There are so many positive reviews of this film. Most of them are definitely NOT paid reviews. But this is my first. I haven't felt like wasting almost three hours of my life watching any other movie since Frozen.
