Reservoir Dogs, mixed with The Thing, but to seem original, in the 1800s.

Rating: 1/10 (4 January 2016)

First, let me say this; there are SOME good in this film. Mostly bad, though. I saw it on the 24th of December in a beautiful showing of 70mm. I haven't seen anything quite like that in.. well, forever. Mainly because I'm an eighteen year old high school kid. Nevertheless, that was the one of the few things I enjoyed. I would even consider myself a pretty big Tarantino fan. But let's just get right into the bad, because this is what will mainly be talked about.
(SPOILERS) I usually enjoy Tarantino dialogue, but in this film, it was absolutely annoying and pointless. There is a monologue by Tim Roth about "western justice". Let me say this, it is absolutely f*cking pointless. But not like the pointless conversations we love in the movie Fargo, but instead, flat out boredom and unnecessary talking. That is actually my main fault with the film. There's too much unnecessary dialogue. The chapter in which we see the Jody Domergue gang set up their ambush at Minnie's. That is way too f*cking long. It's hard to watch on your second watch, let alone your third. So much pointless conversation that all meets dead ends. It truly is horrid.
Next, everyone dies mostly at the same time. Kurt Russell, who I thought was the lead, dies way too early, in my opinion. I also didn't really care about any of the characters except Chris Mannix (Walton Goggins). I don't see how great JJL is. She's currently in the lead for best supporting actress in the month of January. How? She really doesn't do anything except scream, give a menacing grin, and get hit in the face. If that's all it takes to be an Oscar front-runner, sign me up.
The score by Ennio Morricone resembles a horror sound. I enjoyed it, but every track sounds (almost) the same.
The only thing that was really worth watching was the 70mm wide and master shots. Even though this film mostly takes place in a small building, the 70mm is used greatly because we get to see most of the characters even though they're not necessarily needed for the shot. It was quite a sight to see.
In all honesty, I thought this film sucked. It had it's moments, albeit, far and few. It's almost as if Tarantino truly ran out of ideas(i think he has) and decided he'd remake a twisted version of Reservoir Dogs mixed with The Thing and set it in a western era, so it could seem "new" or "original". Well, it's not. Not at all.
In my opinion, it's Quentin Tarantino's worst film. I'm not a fan of it, and was completely let down. 1/10
