The Roadsow Experience? Great! The Movie? Ugh

Rating: 2/10 (27 December 2015)

The experience that Tarantino tried to create by releasing the film as an event was great. The roadshow, overture, intermission, and 70mm were fantastic. While the experience was great, this is about the film. Why use a large format for a movie that mainly takes place in a single room? The format would have been perfect for the scenery that accompanied many of the outside scenes, but instead we were stuck in a bottle. Add to that the extremely gratuitous use of the n-word, and general absurdity of the plot, and Tarantino playing homage to himself, and I just didn't care for it. Be warned of a graphic description of forced sodomy that is over the top that left me wondering what is wrong with Tarantino that he would dream that up.
