Anti-climactic - Over-extended snoozefest

Rating: 1/10 (4 January 2020)

It just didnt have the oomph factor of Tarantino's prior work. Long-winded scenes with characters that really didnt lead anywhere substantial towards major plot development.
Plus the Bruce Lee scene was just terribly conceived and unbelievable. Nobody in the past or the now present honestly believes Bruce Lee would actively pick a fight to try show off, nor lose a fight to some low level "stunt" double.
Anyone that knew him or read about Bruce Lee's life knows he faced racism and discrimination all his life and teached his Jeet Kune Do as a means to bridge the gap between American and Chinese xenophobia (He taught black, white, minorities his kung-fu for peet's sake)
Tarantino being a film history buff and all, definitely missed the mark in this regard. Portraying someone with such a storied background like Bruce Lee (a pioneer and legend in many cinematic regards) in a film like this, one would think extensive research is needed. It is a dishonor and a disservice to not only the dead, but to yourself as a filmmaker.
Tarantino's portrayal of old Hollywood in all its Technicolor glory gives the audience a nostalgic romp for the end of an era yet it is still a saturated, inaccurate picture filled with bloated, over-extended scenes that doesn't quite deliver in his usual gut-punch style.
