Boring

Rating: 4/10 (30 December 2015)

I've never felt the need to write a review of a movie before, but having been a fan of QT's previous movies, and seeing the rating given to it, I feel the need to warn fellow movie goers to pack something else to do whilst viewing this title.
I don't write this to discredit it completely, it has a certain type of charm to it, the character's are well fleshed out, by the end of the movie you have a good sense about each one of them, and could probably recite most of their back-story.
Almost completely unnecessarily, being the key caveat I want to stress here, there was, for example a scene *SPOILERS* which spends about 10-20 seconds showing an extremely mundane task being performed in the snow, whereupon 2 characters put down posts to string a line between the house and the outhouse */SPOILERS* The plot moves so painfully slowly, I found myself wanting to walk out halfway through, suddenly a bathroom break isn't such a bad thing, as it causes you to get a few minutes of your life back.
The film could have been about an hour, hour and a half shorter and still sent the same message.
I'm not an action junkie, or adrenaline freak, I can appreciate a shows good pacing. So do not take my opinion here as without due merit and consideration, a piece of theater can get slow in my mind, so long as it sufficiently justifies the need for it.
This did not.
I was feeling sleepy before watching it, and I was damn sure ready for bed afterward.
