Mostly just Tarentino freaking out on his love for the 60's and Western films

Rating: 4/10 (6 December 2019)

Sometimes I think the only reason Tarentino still makes movies is because he likes to freak on scenes with references that remind him of the stuff from the past that he loves so much. That is ok if the film has a good storyline and plot. In this case there hardly is a storyline. Or at least a very weak one. I felt like the first 80% of the movie was like watching scenes of "Tarentino freaking out on his love for the 60's and Western films" (which I hardly know anything about so I'm sure I missed out on tons of references) and then the last maybe 20% was some good old over the top Tarantino stuff, but then that also kinda fell flat because the first 80% of the film was...well just 'so so'.
Also since I've seen Mindhunter, I saw how well Damon Herriman played a freaked out and scary Charles Manson in that series. I just can't believe Tarentino, who chose to let Herriman play Manson as well, just let him play a minor cameo role in his movie! Such a missed opportunity!
All in all quite a disappointment for me, I expected way more of this film unfortunately..
