The film he wanted to produce...which is what you get

Rating: 7/10 (17 February 2016)

So as I have sat through the others, and enjoyed as much as they made me enjoy. From the stolen .. sorry..reinterpreted story of Reservoir Dogs (and yes I know that is not his first film), right through to the h8ful Eight. It is what he wanted to produce. Don't come looking for tempo, deep story, guffaws or tears. You won't get it...You won't like it..so Don't do it. However, if you wish to regale at his known brat pack pulling out stellar performances, with gimmicky voice overs, excellent wardrobe and settings. But then again as others have mentioned, it is a theater piece set on screen. It works well, as a backdrop to the Tarantiniesque blood fest that ensues. I don't agree with critics saying that Tim Roth was a playing a 'pompous' character which would not have been correct for his social standing....ofc not, he was playing Tim Roth, and the rest did exactly the same. The film smacks of the usual clichéd moments and soundbites, the verbal jousts are evident and in abundance. They always seem to end with Mr Jackson shutting someones mouth in one way or another. So if you liked Django (and personally I preferred Django Unchained). Then go see the new brain splattering, eye candy from the master.
