Could have been better but overall okay.

Rating: 7/10 (10 January 2016)

The characters in this film are grand. The setting in the film is grand. The plot in this film is grand. With all the grandness and masterful set pieces to work with, the film suffers from generic dialog and no memorable moments. Some people are in love with this film, and I can understand why; because this is the first time some people are seeing this kind of film. But for movie buffs like myself, we've seen spaghetti westerns before, so the harsh setting and brutal characters are nothing new. The story is well told and the plot is interesting enough but this film is a Tarantino film... so where is the sharp dialog? Where are the memorable and quotable moments? The answer is there are none. And that is why I'm giving this film a seven out of ten. Tarantino just didn't give the film the little extra push needed to make it a memorable Tarantino film. I wonder if the flat dialog had anything to do with the script of the film being leaked early on? Did Tarantino change some of the dialog as a way of making the movie a little different? Who knows, who cares. The film is still enjoyable but it isn't a Tarantino film you will be watching over and over again.
