a bit uneven, but even a medicre Tarantino still quite good

Rating: 7/10 (4 February 2016)

I think Tarantino made the best from the script he could. Great characters and great cinematography, though I would have liked Moricone to write more music. The decision to add additional songs wasn't that god. The pace is a bit uneven, as in Deathproof. The first half has a great build up. Sure its just talking, maybe a bit too long, but its a really nice introduction of the characters. Second part is like a bloody remake of reservoir dogs. Everyone shoots everyone and then all are creeping in their blood. Whats missing is this typical Tarantino twist. Sure we have the felatio and the surprise from beneath, but thats not enough for a 3 hours movie. It could have been better and Tarantino showed in his other movies that he can be more creative. This is a homage film. Off tarantinos 8 movies I would count this on place 6, just behind Jackie Brown and in front of reservoir dogs. Fans will like it and shall watch it on the big screen in cinema. Those who aren't into Tarantino might find it a bit boring.
