Didn't love it...didn't hate it..

Rating: 9/10 (11 February 2016)

I love Tarantino's films, and this looked like it was everything I wanted and more! The razor sharp dialogue, brilliant characters and Ennio Morricone score, this looked like the most Tarantino Tarantino has ever been. And there were parts that were very good. The dialogue is brilliant, the score is fantastic, Robert Richardson's cinematography is amazing and Jennifer Jason Leigh deserves the Oscar for Daisy Domergue. And the thing I like about every one of Tarantino's films, is that you pay attention, his films really suck you in to the world, it's a 3 hour film that flew by, and every one of his films feels like an event, you don't just munch popcorn and check text messages while like you would if you were watching Michael Bay's next steaming turd. Tarantino always demands attention. Love him or hate him, his films are worth the price of admission. However there's a sense of deja vu with Michael Madsen and Tim Roth as ex-Reservoir Dogs, whether that's good or bad, I leave that up to the viewer, as for me, I enjoyed seeing veterans showing up. And this is something weird to complain about, but I don't think African Americans talked like 70s gangsters back in the 1800s. Jackson's dialogue feels like it's been taken straight out of a blacksploitation film, hardly suitable for a western. The ending of course is as blood soaked and nasty as you would expect. Maybe next time we could get a film that has an uncharacteristically different ending. Enjoyable, but next time how about a Woody Allen style comedy? Now that would be fun.
