Watched it last night.

Nope.

Needed some heavy editing. Scenes went on way to long,  Can't count the number of times I watched the entire physical journey of a character (e.g., from the time they got in their car to their destination). The scene where he was on the set at the Western TV show should been about 1/4th as long as it was. There were several scenes that you could have cut out altogether and it wouldn't have changed the movie at all. Basically, it was if I was watching a bunch of scenes rather than a single movie.

I'm not a prude, but the thing with changing the Tate murder history seemed...well, exploitative to me.  I don't why - but it left me with a bad feeling in the gut.

Acting was great! Leonardo especially.

Watched this the other night with the Girlfriend.  I was surprised she wanted to see it.  I was happy she wanted to see it, as I did too.  I was very shocked she had no idea what it was about going in...or 3/4 of the way through.

The good news - we both stayed awake and watched it all the way through the almost 3 hour runtime.  The Girlfriend said she enjoyed it for the most part.

The so so news - I agreed with her it was "entertaining" in that I really had no idea where it was going to go from scene to scene, and it kept me watching, waiting for what I was pretty sure would follow in the finale.

The bad news - Probably not as bad as Hateful eight, but easily at the bottom of the Tarantino ladder of work.  So bloated, so meaningless, so dull.  I'm very sure at least an entire hour could/should have been cut out completely.  The finale was a HUGE letdown for me - it was the best part of the movie, but nowhere near what could have been.

I just feel so let down the more I think about it.  I honestly believed QT would hit hard in the end and make it all worth while, but he didn't.  Ending on the flamethrower scene, for me, at least, came off as a bad joke that wasn't very funny and so out of place.

The scene with Brad at Spawn Ranch had me thinking we're about to get going finally.  It was suspenseful, it kept me wondering, kept me hoping.  Then, it's over, and other than a good old beatdown, it had almost no meaning.

The finale could have been so badass, but QT decided to take his title, "Once upon a time", literally, and give us this what if scenario that was the 1 scene that not only wasn't too long, but actually, too short.  It just ended too quickly and easily, and when that happens, the suspense and terror is gone.

Oh, Quentin, where'd you go, bro?  I miss the old days of your great movies.

Grade - C-

Unfortunately, when Sally Menke passed away, that was pretty much the end of Tarantino.

Good point.  You just may be correct!

He has said that she kept him for being self-indulgent. Which this movie is the definition off.

It's been that way for three in a row.
