As a Tarantino fan... This is disappointing.

Rating: 6/10 (2 January 2016)

I like to read reviews that hold a certain weight to them. There are a lot of amateur critics in the world that seem to jump at any chance to skewer a director for their perceived failure. There are also a lot of people with bad movie taste that think they are the cream of the crop when rating movies for the wrong reasons.
I'm not trying to group myself with any of these people... I'm simply here to tell you that I found the movie boring and the acting forced..
Of course, I've seen a lot of great movies where the main actors depend on the success of the film to define their careers. What I'm seeing in this movie though, is a lot of established actors going through the motions to collect a paycheck and an equally established director lose sight of why he makes movies in the first place.
I don't know what went wrong with the movie to tell you the truth. Maybe it was the geographical stagnation that displeased me. I'm used to seeing a lot of different settings in a Tarantino film. But this one just kind of, hovered in the same boring spot. The first Evil Dead movie did the same, but at least it went all out to distort the visual and auditory perception of the viewer, making every scene interesting.
Unfortunately this movie focused on some sort of pre-Freudian intellectual dialogue that no one can relate to.
I really had high hopes for this movie and hoped that it would be on the level of Inglorious Basterds or Kill Bill... But it was too slow, led by a lazy and boisterous Samuel L. Jackson and a robotic Walter Goggins.
I wish that Tarantino just made the Vega Brothers movie instead.
