Boring and very offensive! 3/10

Rating: 3/10 (18 May 2016)

Review: What an awful movie! As a black person, I was extremely offended with a lot of the dialogue, and it took way too long to get going. I liked Kurt Russell's character, John Ruth and Jennifer Jason Leigh (Daisy Domergue), played her role well, even though she was totally racist but the rest of the characters weren't that great. Samuel L. Jackson (Major Marquis Warren), wasn't too bad but the movie really didn't have to be that long. The fact that most of the movie is filmed in a bar, didn't help matters and when the plot started to unfold, I totally lost interest in the whole thing. The script was awful and the gory scenes were way over the top. On the plus side, it was good to see Tarantino had got rid of the long, unnecessary speeches, which I found extremely boring but apart from that, it's hard to find a good word to say about the whole project. It does look authentic, in a old time western type of way but there wasn't any depth to the various characters, who all had sketchy backgrounds. It amazed me how many shots the characters were able to take, and the gruesome poison scene went a bit too far. Anyway, I think you can tell that I really didn't enjoy this movie and I didn't find the offensive script pretty bad, so it has to get the thumbs down from me. Disappointing!
Round-Up: This movie is definitely not in the same league as the Quentin Tarantino's smash hits, Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, and judging by his recent releases, I doubt that he's going to hit that form again. Death Proof, Grindhouse and the Kill Bill franchise, we're also disappointing but this movie and Django Unchained are full of racist remarks which go way too far. Jackie Brown was a watchable movie with some great characters but I'm surprised his movies haven't been boycotted because of the heavy racism in a lot of the scenes. Regardless of my views, his movies will always make money, mainly because of the impact that his earlier movies made but I haven't heard many comments about this movie, which seemed to come in and out of the spotlight pretty quickly. I did stick with the film because I was intrigued about the direction of the movie but I wasn't happy with the outcome. I just hope that his next project has nothing to do with the West because he really is going in the wrong direction.
Budget: $44million Worldwide Gross: $156million
I recommend this movie to people who are into their mystery/crime/dramas starring Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Demian Bichir, Walton Goggins, Bruce Dern, Zoe Bell, James Parks and Channing Tatum. 3/10
