Underwhelmed
Political undertones and nuanced overtones stole some of the tension from this piece. I was hoping for a return to the Western Genre, and wanted this (especially after reading it) to be comparable to say, Silverado, but in the end it was a beautiful Tarantino film, that got caught up in being a Tarantino film.
It's odd though and worthy of discussion, I guess, to talk about how the craftsmanship affected the art. For me, it got in the way. As a master of dialogue, he violated the one rule in good writing. Show, Don't Tell.
With 70mm of screen to work with, he told us too much..
