Tarantino going downhill fast

Rating: 4/10 (24 January 2016)

Oh dear, I have come to love Tarantino's films over the past 10-15 years, but this one was a massive disappointment. The story is OK, but I felt as if I was watching the unedited master - it's WAAAAY too long. Seems to me as if Tarantino has fallen in love with the sound of his own dialogue, because 'padding' does not even begin to describe it. I kept thinking there would be some delicious exchange, witty banter, subtle conversation, but no, the dreary scene just went on and on and on and on... No highs, no lows, merely a monolithic, self-indulgent theatrical. God knows how they managed to blow $60 million + on this movie, because it's as dull as ditch water. Feel free to stop watching at any point, as you won't miss any of the denouement - there isn't one.
