OK, I'll chip in. I liked it overall, but I have no class.

It dragged in spots, but I was ready for Tarantino's graphic comic book theme, beginning with using the old Technicolor "cowboy flick era" red lettering for the title and credits. It set the tone right off.

The film broke more ground in the field dug by Mel Brooks's "Blazing Saddles"; digging deeper into the bad old ugly South. A theme that I'm glad to see dragged out into more light. I think that finding a cast to participate in it might have taken some effort.

I may be the only one thinking this, but that wasn't DiCaprio's best work. Actually it wasn't anyone's showcase work.

Yes yes it does set the tone right. I see no relation with Brooks, but I have seen it decades a go. Ugly South? Not so sure. Most Nordist were also racist, anyway.

It is a political fim. That is its biggest failure.
