This review was tough to write...

Rating: 4/10 (28 December 2019)

First, this is my first movie review on IMDB, I created an account just to review this.
Second, I am a HUGE Leonardo DiCaprio fan and a love QT's movies. Django is my favorite western and one of my top 10 favorite action films and I thoroughly enjoyed Inglorious Bastards. He always finds a way to fuse a solid plot with fun over the top violence that always make me laugh like a giddy school girl, things like the Bar scene in IB and the final action scene in Django come to mind.
I went to see this movie the first week it was out and was extremely excited. I went alone because the people I normally see movies with said it looks boring. All I could think is, Brad Pitt + Leo + Margot + QT has to equal an amazing film that no doubt will be a new favorite of mine if it follows any of QT's previous films.
Then I saw the movie... I waited for 3 hours for something to happen, and outside of the final 5 minutes, it was one of the most boring and dull movies I've ever seen. I nearly walked out halfway through. It was extremely disappointing and I want to like it so much, but I can't.
As someone who loves cinematography and always looks for good lighting and acting in films I wasn't necessarily let down in this regard, it was okay, nothing like Django though. Brad and Leo did a great job in the acting, and I wish they would have given Margot more screen time, she didn't really give much to the film... mind you she is one of my favorite actresses so this isn't something I say lightly.
I almost felt like Quentin was trying to "prove himself to hollywood" by showing off what he can do and knows about the good 'ol LA days, but I think he lost a lot of what makes him such an amazing Director. It was lacking the action, the plot, and so much more.
I'd give it a 2 or 3 stars if it wasn't for good acting and cast, so I guess I'll settle for 4 stars.
