Viva Tarantino, Viva Leone, Viva Morricone

Rating: 8/10 (19 January 2016)

Love it or hate it, it arguably is Tarantino's best work yet. Enio Morricone wrote the music, and Sergio Leone's influence in style and camera work is everywhere to be seen, but make no mistake, this 'is' a Tarantino movie. It is long (about three hours) with even an intermission! it can seem long-winded and slow, depending on your pre-conceived expectations, but to me there was not a dull moment. Acting is superb (mostly) - specially from Walton Goggins, Miss Leigh and of-course Samuel Jackson. Kurt Russel also did a wonderful job portraying John Ruth. Watch it and make your own determination, don't go to the theatre expecting it to be yet another western, indeed don't go with any expectations, just with an open mind and curiosity. I bet you won't consider your time wasted.
