The boring 8

Rating: 6/10 (14 January 2016)

Hmm so what did I think of this film. So my first reaction to this film was that I found it pretty boring. I fell asleep for a few minutes in the middle and I really wanted it to end. Now I love Tarantino and I love his dialogue and I was trying to figure out why I couldn't get into this film. For me it just lacked tension. I just never really was on edge about what was going to happen. I'm not sure if this is a story issue or a character issue. Like am I worried that the characters are going to survive, or is the information just not given to me in the correct way. Like this could be a SPOILER for some people.. Warning.. don't read on.. but in the bit where it flashed back, it was like I just didn't care. And I didn't care why they decided to keep Bruce Dern alive. I was just like get on with it already. Anyway, Tarantino films have a way of sometimes getting better with time... or maybe like some other people have said I was expecting a different film, so I'll definitely come back to this for a re-watch at a later date. I was actually writing that thinking Tarantino might be reading it, and I feel bad about giving something a negative review, but maybe it will grow on me.
