Tarantino messes up big time .....

Rating: 7/10 (24 December 2015)

Dear Quentin Tarantino, I watched a preview pirated rip of The Hateful Eight. Don't worry, I will watch the censored pussy Indian version on January 15th next year. You are the last person I would want to steal from.
I'm not that big a fan of your last four films (including The Hateful Eight). They all had their moments. But they pale in comparison to your first three masterpieces.
I think both The Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight would work brilliantly as novels. Have you thought about novelizing them? I mean, both these films have so many elements that would work perfectly in a novel. Some of the machinations and interactions between the characters would have worked better in a novel. You could have captured the nuances a lot better if you wrote The Hateful Eight in a novel format. Some of the dialogs were very good. But I was thinking all along that I would rather read this stuff than watch it. Maybe it had something to do with the setting. You failed to capture the spirit of that era. Maybe Westerns should not be too talky. And there was absolutely no need for so many characters. It could well have been The Hateful Five or something.
While making Inglorious Basterds you said something about not doing actual war scenes because none of the actors were real men who fought in the war. The same was the case with some of the actors in this film. They did their best. But Kurt Russel's character was a total failure. I found it hard to believe a lot of the other characters. When Travolta was shot dead in Pulp Fiction, you felt for the guy. I felt nothing for Kurt Russel's character when he died in this film. I found it hard to believe a lot of the other characters.
Don't get me wrong. The Hateful Eight was interesting in places. Morricone's score was awesome. But you did not use it to its full effect. The two sad songs were completely out of place. It was not a sad film in any way.
And could you please stop playing the social crusader/commentator? You have absolutely nothing new or interesting to say about race relations in the USA. So all the white people hate the black people. And the black people hate the Mexicans. Nothing new there.
I still respect your balls and your your audacity to make a film like this. And I rated The Hateful Eight an (8/10) and a (10/10) using my two Id's. It really deserves a (6/10).
Best Regards, Pimpin.
