It's a Tarantino film.... It must be good right!!!!!!

Rating: 6/10 (24 January 2016)

The eighth film that has been written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, this film is okay. But that is all, this is not a great film like his other pieces of work but it is acceptable. The positive aspects of this film are very strong and that means that this brings the film up. Firstly the film is okay in it's direction, the dialogue sequences are used to drive the seen forward and this film has perfect pacing because of this. The second thing which is good about this film, there are some great performances from great actors in this film. However I do think that the death of Kurt Russell's character is a little bit melodramatic. Besides the film being well directed, written, shot and acted that is all that I can think that I like about this film. The negatives about this film on the other hand are quiet long. My first bad point is that Tarantino uses Narration in one of the chapters. It is the director's voice, anyone who has done film studies knows that this is lazy film making. However Tarantino has copied this from another director from the 1960's called Jean Luc-Godard, and this means that the idea is not original and this is the one thing this film lacks. There is little originality in this film because there are eight main characters that all hate one another and this reminds me of Reservoir Dogs which takes that from a 1950's called Double Identity. The final item that annoys me the most about this film is that like Inglourious Basterds it breaks the film into chapters but clearly tells you when it does, again this is really lazy film making because the director clearly can't link the two sequences together. Overall this film is okay, but I did expect more and didn't get what I wanted, I hope that the next project is better.
