I understand why some hate it and why some love it

Rating: 9/10 (30 December 2015)

I grew up watching westerners with my father, it was part of our bonding time, so whenever I see a western type of movie pop up, it immediately grabs my attention. Now keep in mind that i'm a young guy in my 20's so I will say that I do understand why most people disliked this movie.
We are so used to shorts and with the emergence of very powerful TV Series at our fingertips on Netflix, with twists, turns and swerves at the end of every episode, we crave for something that will deliver the same amount of impact, complexity and visual effects that TV series rely on. That will not be found in abundance in this film, it is a very long movie with the first half dealing SOLELY with character creation and that is done through very dense and heavy dialogue scenes, it to me is the most refined Tarantino movie to date and I'm sure i'll have my critics on this but this is the one because it may not be his BEST TITLE, but the most artistic one for sure. Where some see dullness I see a stage for the art of dialogue.
It is a movie you can watch many times over just to enjoy the way it was filmed, the dialogues between the characters, the one liners and overall feel through all the scenes. It was shot so well and the acting was so brilliant that you feel immersed by the universe, you can almost feel the shivering cold the characters are enduring and feel refreshed at the warmth of the freshly brewed hot coffee.
I feel like younger people (under 30) will find this a boring creation for they were expecting the typical gory hack and slash scenes from Tarantino, which are present but nowhere as abundant as a few of his other titles.
I was extremely excited when I found out Ennio Morricone performed the score for the movie but I have to admit that it felt a bit too modern for an old western movie, it somehow lacked the essence that he is known for.
Overall, I recommend that you watch it as the masterpiece that it is, allow the movie to guide you into this adventure, do not take breaks or pauses, it does feel dense and heavy at times or as the younger generation would label it "boring", but bear with it and absorb as much as you can for it all has a certain meaning, even if not apparent at first.
I am sure you will feel rewarded. I left the movie theater with a heavy heart for I did not wish it to end, by the end I was completely drawn in to their world, I have not watched a movie like this in decades and I truly hope more of this style will come to fruition, this was an incredible experience every film lover should experience at least once in their lifetimes.
