Great acting and amazing world rebuilding

Rating: 7/10 (29 November 2019)

I loved the characters, but the story gets lost behind them. I've read Helter Skelter and I looked forward to the big ending. It didn't go as expected just like inglorious Bs. I expected the unexpected and was disappointed. Knowing what to expect ruined the movie for me. I was waiting for that final scene and when the movie ended I asked myself, "what was the point of this movie?" It had so much potential, but seriously the Manson gang was somehow so underdeveloped I was just disappointed with what could have been. It's an original script, but I almost wish it had been two separate films. I would have loved a Tarantino Manson film and I would have loved a film about Rick Dalton and Cliff Booth. However I think, the dalton/booth story was secondary to me because I wanted more Manson family the first time I watched it. The second time I watched it I wanted more Dalton/Booth and no Manson story. Somehow I didn't get enough of either in 3 hours, how is that possible?
I enjoyed the film, I think it was great. I just wish I had more I guess maybe that's the point. Maybe one day there will be a sequel and we will get to see where Cliff/Dalton go and Manson and his gang come back for more. I hope there will be more because I will never be satisfied with what I got. There was absolutely no closure to the film. This Is the first review I have written so take it or leave it. I recommend seeing the film, but I hope you go in with no knowledge of the history behind it so that you will get the most out of it.
Plus the Bruce Lee fight was worth the price of admission, and if that wasn't enough the DiCaprio seen with him yelling at himself for forgetting his lines was pure gold. Following that up with him crying over being a called a good actor was unbelievable directing/film artistry/acting. I loved it! I just think it gets lost in all the other world/story building scenes. All of the Margot Robbie scenes felt underdeveloped or pointless. What's the point of hiring her to act if she's just there to be nice and look pretty, let that woman shine with some interesting dialogue like everyone else.
