Easily the best movie this year.

Paul, this review must’ve been hastily written because it’s not up to par with your standard for near error-free writing. I enjoy this site more than most for the fact that I can read the articles without having to review a sentence to understand what it was SUPPOSED to say.

As far as the movie, I actually want to see it now despite not wanting to before. I miss the likes of good westerns and my wife isn’t too interested in watching “Two Mules for Sister Sara” again.

@Mike and Anthony

That scene was specifically because Tarantino loves Spaghetti Westerns. He basically ripped that plot point directly from a stereotypical Spaghetti Western flick. I was also confused as to why Schultz did that, especially based on the earlier scene with that sheriff that showed that he could easily have done the opposite. However, the entire point WAS to further the revenge plot. The revenge plot is a huge aspect of Spaghetti Westerns, and Tarantino is doing a less-than-subtle homage to them in this film.

I’m in agreement with Anthony. The key point between Candy and Shultz was so out of place it was ridiculous. It served to gain nothing except to drive the revenge plot. I don’t want to spoil it for anyone but when you see it, you’ll ask yourself why Shultz did what he did. As for the gratuitous racism and the use of that “offensive” word, what do you expect from a movie set in the era of slavery?

Tarantino continues is obsession with the use of the “n-word” and up until a key point between Candie & Shultz…this was a pretty decent film.

Feel about the same. Pretty meh for Tarantino standards and really predictable.
