Why did this movie get such a "meh" reception?

It's better than Django.

I agree. I think people didn't really like it because it's too masculine, too heavy on dialogue, and too centralized on the one location. It takes its time with magnificent tense scenes instead of relying on relatable anti-heroes or ultraviolence. Most QT movies are 75% "cool" and 25% cool. This movie is the inversion.

>It's better than Django

Yeah, but that doesn't mean a whole lot, does it?

It's better than Django but it's still not a great movie. I like it a lot but it still feels a lot like Quentin just masturbating on screen for two and a half hours

By the time it came out Normies were under the impression QT was no longer a "cool" director. Normies don't care about the quality of films they watch, but rather how hip or trendy they are, and how watching these films makes them appear to other Normies.

It was return to Tarantino's original more dialogue heavy method. I think people didn't really like it because it wasn't quite what they were expecting (violence for violence sake, lots of ironic references, etc, like Django and Inglorious Basterds)

Wow you used the term normie unironically.

I liked that the soundtrack was actually comprised of original shit rather than stuff from other movies. That shtick has always been cheap.

quentin is old.

boxer, ring, etc.

DUDE 70MM EVEN THOUGH IT'S MOSTLY FILMED IN A CABIN LMAO

>but it still feels a lot like Quentin just masturbating on screen for two and a half hours

Honestly that's kind of what you're going in for with his movies.

BIG

>Normies don't care about the quality of films they watch, but rather how hip or trendy they are, and how watching these films makes them appear to other Normies.
There is a lot of truth to this. My gf is a ""normie"" and she pretty much only cares about what films are popular at any moment, but even worse her opinion about these films changes based on what is the popular opinion.

DINGUS

The BLACKED scene was kino tbqh.

I don't get how the most common critique directed at this movie is that it was "overly Tarantino"

That's what made it great, it didn't feel like Tarantino-lite, like a lot of his other newer movies.

>It's better than Django.

Django was shit, just like everything he has put out in like 20 years.

All these virgins trying to justify this shitfest unironically, NO! Its not about trends or which director is "Hip" this movie wasn't good. Django and Inglorious basterds were amazing films and this is no where even close to those. QT shoved his head so far up his own arse that he forgot that he can't force Tim Roth into turning Christopher Waltz LEGIT cringef at Roth's character trynna xerox copy Waltz from I.Basterds.

No wonder Waltz walked right the fuck out from this trainwreck cuz he being an Oscar winner knew this was gunna be a stinker and it was

It goes for 4 fucking hours and has 'intermissions'. The 1950s called, they want their cinematic experience back.

Only Tarantino movie I've enjoyed in a while but I wouldn't give it a re-watch.

I liked Kill Bill when I was a teenager but it's aged badly and the soundtrack contained too much music from other films which was his trend from then on out. Didn't like Death Proof, Inglorious Basterds or Django.

Another Quantin Feetantonio's want to make a 70s movie but he can't make a real one because he lacks real tallent
so he makes a homage oh so funny one which just sucks
because he just got his golden little ticket from his early shocking films

I liked it, it was pretty much a rehash of reservoir dogs but in the snow, but i liked it. It was a hell of alot better than than the sloppy descent into self parody that was django.

It was just Tarantino sticking to what he does, but it was good. It's basically a play, I think he wants to move to theatre.

8.5/10

because it is a play not a movie

and there are much better plays

not that it's bad or anything

Its same as res dogs but two times as long. Boring as fuck.

>Another Quantin Feetantonio's want to make a 70s movie but he can't make a real one because he lacks real tallent
I think it's because he lacks a time machine.

Would have been better without the flashback honestly. Would've left more to the imagination of the viewer and make them question if he really did it.

I think it would have been too obvious that it didn't happen if they didn't show it.

By showing such a far-fetched story it's a little bit more questionable.

nah, the flashback was fine, it could work as a flashback if it really happened or the colonel's imagination if it didn't. what was stupid was tarantino's narration and that whole flashback of what the gang did

the only good thing in this flick was goggins, everything else sucked and was just autistic tarantino screeching

too much talkie not enough shootie also the dick sucking scene triggered Sup Forums

Leo made Django much better.

kurt russell was better

I'd imagine not too many people were thrilled with Samuel L. Jackson's gay blowjob seen

>It's better than Django.
what isn't?

yeah, but the dialogues were shit.

tarantino made two good movies (his first two). everything else is forgettable.

The whole point was that it was supposed to be provocative. Racial tension is a big part of the movie.

People really need to grow some skin.

everything since kill bill 2 has just been a wankfest

Not only tgat it was better than RD

I'm not even a tarantulo fan but tgis was one of his GOATs

I was at a midnight showing of this and literally half the theatre walked out during the intermission

Too long for plebs.

You say this when To Kill A Mocking Bird and Huckleberry Finn were both pulled from High School reading curriculum because both had the word "nigger" in them despite both being about anti-racism and anti-slavery respectively

So don't give me that fucking garbage excuse

>gf

NORMIE GET OUT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>You say this when To Kill A Mocking Bird and Huckleberry Finn were both pulled from High School reading curriculum because both had the word "nigger" in them despite both being about anti-racism and anti-slavery respectively

What the fuck are you on about?

Did I ever say something to imply I condone that?

I feel that the scene where they all throw up blood was over exaggerated
QT trying too hard to be edgy.

>Shoot a movie on 70mm film set 90% on a cheap ass looking set.
What did Fartitino mean by this?

That's because the types of plebs and normies that go to midnight viewings don't know what an intermission is, they probably thought it was a fancy way of saying "the movies over herp derp"

>QT trying too hard to be edgy.

It was funny as fuck.

The whole movie was nothing but tension and build up and then it totally jumps the shark and it's fucking great.

That doesn't address OP's question at all.

CHANNING TATUM OUT OF FUCKING NOWHERE

People are literally screeching over the dumbest shit right now and here you are defending pointless scene in a lesser Taratino movie and telling others to "grow thicker skin"

Why don't you learn to pick your battles better instead of trying to justify over-indulgent filth

this

>Why don't you learn to pick your battles better instead of trying to justify over-indulgent filth

Maybe I just don't like playing favorites and think people should just shut the fuck up and stop complaining about stuff in fiction period? Stop pointing fingers elsewhere, it's juvenile.

How would you feel if Hollywood started producing pro-racist and pro-Nazi films? Would you sit there and keep you mouth fuck shut if you had to sit through a scene where a white guy rapes his black slave and it's painted as being funny?

No, you wouldn't. Now shut the fuck up.

Nah jango is better

Are you wanting people to go out on the streets and protest about Hollywood?

Take your biased horseshit elsewhere and stop thinking everyone fits neatly in the categories you've made up in your head.

You are no better than a feminist, you bitch and moan about stuff when it suits your agenda. I honestly wouldn't give a shit if hollywood started making pro-nazi movies.

You're the one bellyaching about how people didn't like that scene

What agenda? Not being inundated with anti-white sentiment at all times? I literally can't even watch fucking sports without it being politicized. Are we that far gone that being a fucking centrist that's tired of seen "lol white people are bad, k?" everywhere now automatically makes you a neo-nazi? Yeah, the Nazis were bad, yeah slavery was bad, how long are we going to keep beating the same fucking dead horse?

Literally fuck you

>Jango

Drop the fucking victim attitude and grow up, you say that you don't want to be politicized, but have no problem painting a picture of what you find ok and not ok in fiction.

You've done a nice job sinking to SJW levels, anti-white, anti-black, sexist, who gives a shit? Authoritarian pieces of shit that's who.

>everyone I disagree with that has a strong opinion on anything is literally a SJW

How long are you retards going to keep playing this card until it stops working?

Michael Madsen looks like an old dyke these days

It said his name in the opening credits

I agree. Django was really disappointing, felt way too long and had such an overuse of the n-word, it actually got annoying. This is not an SJW complaint, btw. I would have said the same thing if they overused the word "coffee".

After this I had no hopes for The H8ful 8, but I ended up loving it, and even though it was three hours, it really didn't feel too long. A really entertaining movie overall. I just don't understand why they shot it in 70mm when 75% of the movie was inside a cabin.

>How long are you retards going to keep playing this card until it stops working?

The moment you stop acting exactly like them.
>It added nothing to the film
>It was filthy and in poor taste
You're just peddling the exact same shit as feminist when they complain about sexy ladies in movies or video games. But clearly you're too far gone to realize that.

I wish QT would go back to making real movies.

This flick is shit. It's the most self indulgent masturbatory movie ever made, tarantino it losing touch. The 20 minute flashback was unneeded and ruined the pacing and all the mystery, the movie would be better without it. Showing the BJ scene made it worse, would have been better left to the imagination so you're not sure if he really did it. The tarantino doing his own voiceover to explain the poison coffee ruins this whole segment on the movie, would have been better I people just started dying and we realised it was poisoned afterwards. The Lincoln letter read at the end should have been implied to be real. If the film just started and went through chronologically to the end with no flash backs or voice overs it would have been so much better. Some of the lengthy monologues are just silly and unbelievable. Everything in the coach is recapped when they get to the cabin so most of the coach expository dialogue is pointless.

there's a few interviews with the actors and they were saying the 70mm was crucial to allow the characters in the background to express emotion, like a stage play. Not sure you could pull that level of depth of field off with digital.

Okay, apparently everyone was a SJW 60 years ago when they got outraged by seeing a homosexual and interracial relationships on T.V.

You know what, you're right. Fuck common decency and restraint. Why don't we have Sesame Street just be 22 minutes of hardcore porn where the "actors" repeat the alphabet for the kiddies to watch and anyone that objects we'll call them SJWs

You're a fucking moron

H8 had more niggers than django and they felt way more forced and out of place, because it's not a slavery movie

>Okay, apparently everyone was a SJW 60 years ago when they got outraged by seeing a homosexual and interracial relationships on T.V.

Pretty much. Exact same shit of people feeling like they're being personally attacked by trivial shit.

DUDE FREE BLACK MEN IN A PERIOD OF TIME WHEN RACISM WAS RAMPANT AND HE WOULD'VE HAD HIS HEAD BLOWN OFF IF HE WAS EVER SEEN OFF A COTTON FIELD IRL LMAO

Citizen Kane wasn't filmed in 70mm. 70mm is literally not needed to achieve that depth of field so that excuse is pure bullshit, the only reason it's filmed in 70mm was so Quentin could wank over the film reel

It was years after the civil war and set in Wyoming, are you dumb? Racism was rampant but slavery was over

If people don't want to see it then it really doesn't fucking matter. People go to the movies to turn off their brains and get away from the real world. Quit trying to drag this shit into every movie then act like you have the moral high ground because you think having twink black guys sucking each other off in a movie makes it deep or makes for "biting social commentary"

That's what you're supposed to do during an intermission. Did you think it was part of the film you had to watch? It's a toilet break

>If people don't want to see it then it really doesn't fucking matter. People go to the movies to turn off their brains and get away from the real world.

People with egos as frail as yours deserve to be offended honestly.

> tfw I have to wear an adult diaper to movies because I like to get shifaced and modern movies don't have intermissions

Thank you Richard Christy

Apparently you're triggered as shit considering you're incapable of letting this go. If the scene was literally anything other than a black guy forcing a white guy to suck his dick you wouldn't give two shits about it and thought that it was an unnecessary waste of time scene

was bretty good desu, people need to get a thicker skin about the nigger stuff.

>Apparently you're triggered as shit considering you're incapable of letting this go.
That makes two of us then.

When I just watched the original Magnificent Seven?

And why not just watch the original to Django by Mel Brooks?

I know right bro?
