If you want to watch a 90 minute movie morph into a 3 hour movie with scenes it doesn't need, poorly developed characters and a cast that doesn't meld together well at all. (Samuel L Jackson did phenomenal and Kurt Russell had moments where he looked to be the right person for the part, where in the end, he simply wasn't. This is for you, oh, and Fanboys, you'll rave this is Just Tarantino" and "You just don't understand."
The dialogue was lacking, the entire time. There were a couple quotable lines, but for it being a 3 hour movie, it lacked. My favorite actor in the entire movie Walton Goggins is written much better in the FX TV series Justified, and I was disappointed with the sheer inability for Tarantino to bring this amazing actor, and maybe even character, to life.
The plot had legs, I mean, how can you go wrong with a 21st Century take on 10 Little Indians, but the big reveal is revealed far too early. The beginning took too long to develop, and when it did, it finished way to quickly, but somehow leaving an hour 'til the movie ends.
I love Tarantino, his work is some of the best in the business. However, this time, I feel, like he wrote past his reputation and we just need to call it as we see it. Tarantino dropped the ball, and with a 44 million budget he has(d) no excuses.
