Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (2019)

OK, I'm giving it 10 stars, not because it's a great film and not because it's one of QT's best films... but because compared to everything else out there today it is a Masterpiece.
However, unfortunately, anyone that has seen all of QT's films, the ending is spoiled from the start purely on the basis that we understand how he treats history.
And, unfortunately, for SOME people it is a very slow burner, but one with absolutely fantastic acting and directing. It's a slow burner that is a brilliant period piece, and it is a slow burner that is almost a love letter to classic Hollywood, so though it takes nearly forever for any real pay off, its a fine film to actually watch and one that maintains a quality of entertainment and leaves little clues peppered throughout of the coming payoff.
And the clues are important as they are, essentially, little promises that the film is making for the finale.
The finally, however is so ultra-violent, so over-the-top that it's absolutely hysterical.
It's not his best film, but its certainly loyal to his others, gone however is the quick witted and quotable dialogue that marked his earlier films, but it is traded off for a sleek professionalism of a seasoned director.

This film didn't quite hit the mark for me. It felt excessively long, dragging on without captivating my interest, ultimately leaving me feeling bored and disconnected. While many may have found it fantastic, I struggled to connect with the storyline and found it to be disjointed and lacking coherence.
While the film received praise from critics and fans alike, my personal preference leans towards action-packed movies that keep me engaged and entertained. I value excitement and thrill in a film, seeking an immersive experience that keeps me on the edge of my seat, rather than one that relies heavily on drawn-out dialogue that fails to hold my attention.
