Tarantinos formula is wearing out. this movie is entertaining but ultimatively mediocre and somehow shallow.

let's see
crime/gangster: ✓
kung-fu:✓
war movie:✓
horror:✓
blaxploitation:✓
western:✓what's next? rom-com? sci-fi? slapstick? b-movie?
- should he just make the same film over and over again like michael bay?flashbender
- no but he shouldn't make them for the sake of covering every single genre. His bread and butter is crime movies imo_niko

Despite some of spectacular settings (nature), somehow this film looks like TV. Blame the DOP? As for the head blows not that exciting anymore.

I think because Tarantino is an incredible remixer but just an okay director. It looked and felt like a soundstage throughout half the movie.

I remember noticing a couple of nice bits of framing/pan type shots once or twice but I agree, I think I noticed those because there was so little to notice elsewhere. I was also surprised there was so little related to spaghetti westerns at all in the film given the setting/title.
Now wanting to go into an imdb type thing but could anyone tell what the directors accent was supposed to be in his last cameo part? They are sure it was Irish but it sounded more Australian to me (Either way a popper actor would've been less distracting/better.)

it was mess of a film, albeit an enjoyable mess, and although the film really lost momentum after [spoiler, see note>] it didn't really drag like some critics have complained it did.
He's not nearly as good a director as he thinks he is (and an embarrassingly bad actor). It was as if he couldn't decide what kind of film he wanted to make - it veered from being a spoof of Blazing Saddles to Unforgiven/Heaven's Gate grittiness.

I saw it.
It was long.
It was ok.
Not in a hurry to screen it again.

You can watch the original while you wait
Actually a really good Western

I loved the nods to the ludicrousness of some spaghetti westerns.
I'll be as ambiguous as I can to avoid a true spoiler (it's only a minor bit anyway)...
I love the bit where a main character shoots a bit-part character from the top of the stairs, and they fly back in a completely OTT manner, at a completely weird angle. Cracked up at that.
Absolutely loved it. Seen it twice at the cinema.
My only complaint is what hans_glib has highlighted.

An early review

I just watched it, WOW.
I loved it, Tarantino definitely made up for kill bill on this one.
I want to see it again after I watch the original- my thoughts too. Kill Bill was garbage.HijoDMaite
- < Don't think any of Tarantiono's films have been 'garbage'...his balls to do innovative shit alone makes any of his films good IMObabaganush
- < what baba saidmoldero
- yeah, I didn't meant kill bill was garbage, is was just a compilation of kung fu movies but with american actorsMiguex
- it was ok, but not memorable like his other worksMiguex

You guys are crazy, it was a great movie. Better than 99% of the superhero/CGI crap Hollywood churns out anyway.

what do black people think of this movie?

Kill Bill was probably his worst film. Too over the top. I really like Inglorious Basterds and Django though.
