The Buster Scruggs and Tom Waits segments were the best. The final two were the worst, especially the very last one. It was like a failed Tarantino short.

I loved it.
The cinematography was amazingly creative. Long lenses with extreme depth of field interspersed with tight close-ups ... beautiful, intense color palettes ... great mix of traditional and avant-garde perspective ... thoughtfully done. Fascinating script and acting, as well. Nothing not to like about this film. FAX |

Finally got around to watching this. As said, the first 10 minutes are amazing. I basically yelled out when Scruggs kicks the table. I really enjoyed all of them but obviously some more than others.

Buster Scruggs, the first vignette, is live action Looney tunes. Daffy Duck wore the same outfit

If this was a whole movie about the Titular character it would have been great.
Which seems to be a theme in this thread. It's PRETTY hard for a movie to get a big belly laugh out of me, and I was about to pass out laughing through the first bit. |

I'm happy with what we got. Beat the shit out of The Twilight Zone bashing the same 2 or 3 ideas over the head for nearly 10 hours.

I guess maybe this explains why some segments were really short and others like 45-50 minutes long?

Cos I haven't seen any new rehashes of it. You don't improve on perfection. I like anthologies and even movies like this, but I just didn't like the back half. Of course it looks great. Coens and all. It was all over the place tonally, which is weird even for an anthology. |

I watched this today and it was really well done in a lot of ways. The scenery, the costumes, the closeups on some of the characters faces, the acting.
Overall I liked it and thought the premise of all the different stories was a neat idea. The Liam Neeson gimp story dragged on too long and the James Franco was to short and the ending was a little flat although it made you think of what was going to happen.
