Great, but could be better

Rating: 8/10 (19 April 2019)

As Tarantino's eighth it carries the pressure of the other excellent films before it and, it suffers from that. The cinematography was gorgeous and the performances were amazing from everyone, especially Samuel L Jackson and Kurt Russell. My main issue is the run time and pacing. I do enjoy long films (such as Wolf of Wall Street) if the pace has a good balance of having interesting events and keeping the interest; while there are some fantastic scenes at the beginning middle and end everything in between feels longer than it should. Mind you, I was never bored but I felt like it was on the verge of something great but just dragged things out. It is very great even with that flaw and as a fan of Tarantino I had a fun and enjoyable time throughout.
