Hateful 8
Formulaic yes, but it's his formula and nobody does it better. 8/10
I watched this last night and thought it was rubbish.Formulaic yes, but it's his formula and nobody does it better. 8/10
I love QT and I love his formula but in this film I thought his characters, dialogue and music were all second rate.
First one of his films that actually bored me.
I didn't hate it by any means but didn't think it lived up to his other films
4/10
I feel like I only watch about 2 or 3 decent films each year recently. I think perhaps the converse of this is that due to this H8 was one of the very few I was really looking forward to thus my score was artificially low due to disappointment.
Let's compromise on 5.8/10 (sorry I can't stretch to a 6)

Got 'The Big Short' to watch this weekend, and hopeful it will be one of the few that meet my expectations this year. We'll see...
Latest Almodovar is getting middling reviews sadly.
The industry as a whole needs a defib

13 hours, the something soldiers of Benghazi. Catchy title huh?
Actually a quite good true story of security contractors in Libya. After the fall of Gaddafi.
Much better than I was expecting although it was a bit Ye Ha America but not enough to annoy me.
IMDB 7.5
Me solid 7

Not a bad film, it just pales in comparison to something like Black Hawk Down.
6/10

Battle scenes were really well done but everything else is pure Michael Bay. Horribly cheesy and melodramatic at times, more American flags than you can wave a stick at and TBH I never really felt that much of a sense of threat, more mild confusion.

6/10
I don't think it helped that all the beardy men looked the same.Not a bad film, it just pales in comparison to something like Black Hawk Down.
6/10
I massively hate ye ha America when shoehorned into a film but didn't find it too bad in this.
You're dead right though, not a patch on Black Hawk Down
