I just watched it tonight. What a piece of crap. Horrid, cartoon like acting, overblown blood and gore effects. Tons of senseless violence. I have nothing against violence or gore, if it's a decent story and is needed to tell the story (say Saving Private Ryan). This was just, well crap.
I loved it, up until the last 15 minutes. The ending was truly horrible. Just cartoonish. Very much the same reaction I had to Kill Bill, Vol. I.
Tarantino has a lot of gifts as a filmmaker, but restraint seldom seems to be one of them. Sometimes less is more, and he only seemed to understand that once: In Jackie Brown, which is still one of his best movies, and Pulp Fiction, which has some truly horrific stuff happen in the story, but very often the worst of it is left to the imagination, which makes it all the more powerful.
I thought it started out strong, mostly because of Jamie Fox, but more because of Christoph Waltz (even though I think he was much better in Inglorious Basterds). I think Tarantino's biggest talent is finding great performers and casting them extremely well.
I also thought the movie slowed too much in the middle, but sprang back to life when Samuel L. Jackson showed up.
The very end though - like most Tarantino flicks was just wild unpredictable dreck. I think his movies would be much better if they didn't fall off a cliff at the very end and if he chilled on the "N" word.
no, when samuel L. saw Leo get shot and he was like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I almost died lol
It makes sense because he was his meal ticket and the conduit through which SLJ's character got ALL his power. Without him, he was absolutely a nothing who would have to ingratiate himself to whoever married the sister and took control of Candyland.
