I can't believe I'm giving a QT movie 4/10

Rating: 9/10 (3 August 2019)

Huge fan of Tarantino and eager to see this, we viewed it today. Something was missing from the beginning. If you are a fan, don't expect the brilliance and depth we find in most of his other. It seems that he had an idea and had to build the story that would lead up to that idea. What we got was a weak, lost story with very little substance. While the ending is superb and satisfying everything before it is a very loosely woven story. He must have owed Bruce Dern a part. But that scene is hollow and adds nothing to the story.
I want to pick this movie apart act by act and scene by scene but I also want to avoid spoilers. The cast has many who appear frequently in his movies there are two or three excellent newbies. While Brad Pitt is the true lead and star (because he always is), Leonardo fails big time in over playing his role.
But it is worthwhile watching all the way through. We almost walked out and are glad we did not.
