Decent but ultimately disappointing movie

Rating: 6/10 (8 January 2016)

The movie starts out great with the classic Sergio Leone opening shot and the music from Ennio Morricone. Unfortunately the rest of the movie doesn't live up to the first 5 minutes, particularly not from the point where the movie takes place inside a haberdashery. The story feels like a mix of Reservoir dogs and a classic Sergio Leone western, but i'd rather watch Reservoir dogs or a Sergio Leone movie for the 20'th time than see this movie again.
Most of the characters feel unnecessary and the normally good actors are given very little to work with. The most interesting characters are played by Kurt Russel and Jennifer Jason Leigh. Both give good performances but its not enough to carry the movie. Samuel Jackson plays the same character he always plays, and while he does a good job with it, i'm kinda tired of that character. The other supporting actors are given very little to work with and give mediocre performances for normally great actors. Tim Roth in particular overplays his character and you get the feeling the character was written for Christoph Waltz.
Tarantino is known for his unique use of dialogue. However in this movie the dialogue is nothing special, and consists mostly of repeating the n-word until you get tired of listening to it.
The story is OK, but offers no surprises.
All in all its a decent movie, but quickly forgotten.
