Oh, I thought it was going to be a remake of Django 1966 :-(
A coffin-dragging cowboy with a machine gun seemed like the perfect material for Tarantino.
I really dislike Tarantino films, yet I always get caught up in the hype and watch the new one. It always sucks.
This one, once again, looks great. But I read the script. Or should I say, I bailed on the script 50 pages in.
Typical Tarantino. If you're a fan of his, I'm sure you'll love it, and once again I'll have no idea why. It could be a thrilling, emotional story for me if Tarantino could focus on something other than how cool he can make his characters converse. Any attempt at legitimate drama/conflict in this world is overshadowed by a smart ass tone and characters who always have it too easy.
It's like getting on a roller coaster that's very high and very fast but has no turns or dips. And it lasts two hours.
Got to agree with Jboffer, I'm not particularly a big fan of Tarantino, but I do always watch his movies when they're first out.
I see many of his movies as having a few incredible, ingenius scenes, strung together by slow moving, monotonous, boring sequences that never seem to end.
For instance, LOVED the bar scene in Inglorious Basterds, and a few other interesting moments throughout, but by and large, it was boring as hell.
I don't know what the hell he was thinking with Kill Bill. He filled the first one with amazing, interesting scenes, but the packed the second movie with the most boring ones. Talk about uneven.
Not everyone - in fact, almost no one - agrees with me, but I like Tarantino's newer films better. Kill Bill, Inglorious Basterds... love'em.
I was struck with Inglorious, how long he was able to carry a single scene - the opening, the bar in the basement...
I happen to agree with you.
I read Inglorious Basterds before I went to see it, and was amazed at the 'first chapter,' couldn't believe it was like 13 pages and kept my attention.
Thought it was great.

I'll see it, too.
