First time ever I got really bored watching a Tarantino picture. It was meant to be a theatre play and somehow it lacks punch when it was turned into a movie.

Rating: 4/10 (20 March 2019)

Somehow this Tarantino flick got me bored. And that is really the first time EVER that I got bored at a Tarantino movie. The masses seemed to love it though. The worse Tarantino's pictures seem to get, the more tickets he is selling at the box office. The average western fan will probably like this western anyway, because it does press all the right buttons that need to be pressed to please the audiences that like westerns. For a diehard Tarantino fan like me however, this movie is his worst ever.
Tarantino often has said he will only make 10 movies in his entire carreer. This was nr. 8. After nr. 10 he promised that he will retire and start making theatre plays only. I do think Tarantino has got the talent to make another brilliant movie, but if not I hope he will stick to his own promise and retire pretty soon.
The Hateful Eight originally was meant to be a theatre play and it would have fared better if it had indeed become a theatre play, because the dialogues are more suitable for a theatre than for a movie. The dialogues and scenes are incredibly long drawn and slow, without much change of scenery. Somehow these theatre play dialogues feel unsuited to be transformed to a movie format. For the first time ever I got bored at a Tarantino movie! Not a great record.
Fortunately Tarantino will return to the gangster genre with his next movie. I am in dire need of another good Tarantino movie after this slowburning boring theatreplay mess...
