Like that last four or so Tarantino films I found this annoying as for me I can see there is a good or even a great film in there, but this isn't quite it.
Agree I enjoyed his first three or four films a lot more, his films since then have been directionless, over long and ultimately a bit boring.
I get hes making the kind of films he likes to make but can't help thinking if he was having to work to a brief/someone elses script/producers then the resulting films would be a bit more interesting.

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

needs to go back to what he's great at, crime caper.

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.)

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

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.

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.

what do black people think of this movie?

I feel like he made a film to see how many times he could use the N word. Also, it's a little too soon to the shooting for me to watch all the Peckinpah style gore.
And I still can't stand Jamie Foxx!

I liked it! Watched Inglorious Basterds the next day as I'd not seen that, which is also fucking ace. I think I prefer Inglorious actually, watching them side by side.
Of his films I think Pulp Fiction is the most successful for me, just because it skates the line between the genre-vernacular he's referencing and the usual construct of what a film usually is for a mass audience. Not saying that it's my favourite, but it does a lot of things his way and just enough 'by the book to not feel completely indulgent.
I'd love to see him do another crime caper again, something really American. Watching Pulp Fiction & Jackie Brown again, you see how he really nails down a specific type of Americana. A bit like Paul Thomas Anderson really.
I watched Moonrise Kingdom and I'll have to say that even though I've loved Wes Anderson I felt that I'd seen the film before in one guise or another. Tarantino surprises every time i think.
