It's awful

Rating: 2/10 (24 September 2019)

I don't know why people are afraid to admit that, or feel compelled to give a high rating. This is flat-out awful. It's painfully boring. There's no plot. There are more like some "situations", one after another, linked by terrible editing. The only "plot moment" is the ending, but it's very predictable. There are no Tarantino-style dialogues - for the first time in his 9 movies. There are no "wow" moments or hyperboles - for the first time in his 9 movies. The comedy is sparse. The movie unfolds as a dull trip through real-world characters, famous actors, tons of references to B-movies from the sixties, and nothing else. Literally: nothing else. I find it difficult to call it a movie, actually. It's more like a very personal and self-indulgent hommage to a kind of cinema he loves, but that's it. It ends up like a fictional and mildly funny documentary. I'm one of the most fanatic fans of Tarantino in the world, and this is not his old self, not in style and not in quality.
Ps: Come on. I don't like fanboys and people who can't accept that the king is naked. The ending is pure mannerism and shocks nobody, also because there's no tension to resolve. Secondly, it's an anti-climax, the "fixing" of something broken, the inner wish of an old man who became reactionary. That's very different from the "Inglourious" ending, that was a shocking, epic and superfunny stroke of genius.
