It's interesting that all the comments by people here who have seen Once Upon a Time... are positive so far, and of a very kind tone. I saw a limited engagement 70mm print of it here in Chicago last night, and for me this is the worst movie of the century, far surpassing my previous pick for this which is the 2001 Moulin Rouge. It's amateurishly edited, tediously paced in the middle, and far too long at 2 hours 41 min., though I would have sworn that it was over 3 hours by the way it dragged along. The acting is very good throughout though. I guess Tarantino doesn't really direct the actors much in same way as C.B DeMille, and none of the actors should regret their performances, though they may regret being in this mess when they see the finished product. I've had mixed feelings about Tarantino movies in the past, though I liked Inglorious Basterds and had looked forward to the expected sequel. Definitely watch Once Upon a Time... streaming with a finger on the FF button, as it makes Sharknado 5 look like high art.
