Just watched it. It's one of Tarantino's worst movies, but if you take away his name and look at it as it's own stand alone film, it's a good movie. 7/10.

The only real disappointments for me was 2 of QTs mainstays, Michael Madsen and Tim Roth, having some pretty forgettable roles. I was expecting more from them considering their memorable roles in his films.

The use of the word nigger was justified in this film considering the setting, but Tarantino seems obsessed with it. Half the dialogue directed at SLJ's character was racist and most of it wasn't essential to the plot and made it harder to focus on what was going on. That being said, it paid off when SLJ offed the confederate general and teamed up with the confederate soldier sheriff to take out that bitch.

No lie I thought it was waltz when I first heard him. Just thought they had him in a shit ton of make up lol. Then I started to recognize him.
 
True, but even his mannerisms resembled Waltz'. Compared to Pulp Fiction where he had the same accent but it nothing like Waltz.

All of the Hard on Hoes supporters will love this movie. Shawty went through some shit.

I was bout to say this lol. I didn't know whether to be more offended at the unnecessary amount of niggers or that they beat the fuuuuuck out of/then lynched a woman lol.
 
Saw it this evening not torrented but on the IMAX screen. Kudos to him for shooting it in Panavision reel (70mm) giving it a proper Westernised feel and using the legendary Ennio Morricone to produce the score..

One thing you gotta give Tarantino credit for is to be able to create interesting dialogue out of nothing really; the central plot was around the woman in captivity resulting in lots of people getting killed or maimed in a day over a running time of over 2 hours.

Being as it was after the American Civil War, I noticed the racial hatred as a backdrop in certain scenes but Samuel L. Jackson neutered that in the script

The violence in Tarantino's movies are always pulp like (the splurts and splutter of blood and body matter) and he always picks Hollywood outcasts in his films (Russell, Dern, Madsen, Roth)

I also liked the costume design and production design as the camera zoomed in on each of the characters you noticed their winter gear; tough and worn but smart looking.. .

I'll give it 4/5 stars. I prefer it to Django Unchained. .

 
Good movie. i hate walton goggins (he will always be bitchass shane to me) but he did his thing in this. Rofllll @ marques story.

I liked how you couldn't trust anybody. Up until the credits rolled i thought for sure sheriff or marques would turn on the other one. This movie was unapologetically HOH. Literally EVERY female got fucked up lol.

This is also the first qt movie where i felt the n bombs were gratuitous. He coulda chopped about 15.
 
If I gotta compare Sam Jack and QT into a HipHop duo it'd be Run The Jewels (El-P and Killer Mike)

I already know Jackson's view on "nigger" via an interview he gave whilst promoting Django. He don't give a fuck if Whites say it hence the professional partnership with Tarantino..
 
Yo when marques said "when niggas are scared that's when white folks are at ease" or whatever the line was i was like

Just saw it. Good movie. Typical Taratino movie. The whole movie felt like that scene in Inglorious Bastards where the London spy gets made. Great cast and everyone held their own but Madsen and Roth felt under-utilised. Roth definitely in 'Waltz' mode. I'm not sure if it worked without proper context given.

Samuel L, Kurt, the Shield guy and Jennifer all hold it down. The dialogue was funny and serious at the same time. I love how he uses the historic backdrop to drive story and develop the character.

Tarantino love him or hate him, racist or not, He makes interesting, creative movies. Overall 7.5-8. I'll have to see it again.
 
I liked it. Funny, direct, entertainin'. Wasn't feelin' the music in the last scene and like many have said, that nigger shit feels thrown on. Wasn't too bad before they got to the room. Hangman seemed to make it a point to not say nigga and seemed hurt when he found out about the letter.

The bitch was excellent and so were Russell and SLJ
 
just saw this movie.....not bad....I was pissed how they did the black folks towards the end of the movie.....Samuel L and Kurt Russell were hilarious....for this role Kurt Russell should be inducted into the east wing of the Hard on Hoes Hall of Fame....cot damn!
