I have tried to watch this movie for the third time, and for the third time can't get past the middle which bogs down in dialogue that has no pop that Tarrantino fans yearn for with each new movie.
The opening scene with and pretty much any scene with Waltz IS the movie. Eventually I will push through the middle and see if there is any light on the other side, but for me this is 3/10 way below average effort. I liked Death Proof much better which is surely saying something considering it's reception by fans.
One can only hope one of the greatest if not THE greatest director of Gen X makes a return to form with Once Upon A Time In Hollywood...
