Reviews:

More often than not, the fragmented, time-jump-y form of storytelling (a la Tarantino) doesn’t do it for me. But _Bad Times at the El Royale_ nails the format, and just about everything else while it’s at it.

_Final rating:★★★★ – Very strong appeal. A personal favourite._

Although the first half presents a smart and mysterious blend of, say, ‘The Hateful Eight’ and ‘Identity’, the plot lacks the puzzle pieces to grow towards a grand solution in it’s ending.

7/10

Wannabe Tarantino Film
Good: The time period 1969 provides a great stylistic approach to a hotel that has property on both California and Nevada, which adds to the idea of having a good side and a bad side and the hotel also creates a sense of entrapment. The cinematography is great as it makes slow pans to unveil the secrets of the characters and the El Royale. The hotel, costume design, and soundtrack help create a nostalgic setting. The directing and editing are also well done when incorporating sound/music to scenes especially when Cynthia Ervio sings. Erivo’s musical performance is filled with heart and soul and helps develop the character and conveys her emotions. Other standouts are Jeff Bridges and Chris Hemsworth. Hemsworth just has a charming presence and provides the slight dark tone of his character. Bridges plays his character well as he connects with Erivo and tries to execute his actions. However, the rest of the cast have trouble making their appearance known…

Bad: At a whopping 2h 20m runtime, the film is a slow burn where it takes a painstakingly long time to make it to the end and even the finale becomes a disappointment. At times it tries to be funny, but the humor is not a standout in this film. There is a lack of emotional pull to the characters which is evident in the finale where the characters are still not fully developed. The concept was there, but the creativity lacked, which ended up in poor execution.

Overall: Style over substance. I wanted to like this movie for the trailer was great with its editing, soundtrack, and cast, but does not live up to Drew Godard’s directing predecessor “The Cabin in the Woods,” or have the writing creativity from “The Martian.” The film reminded me a lot of Quentin Tarantino films as it was divided into chapters and had the same style with flashback stories to gain background, however, I would rather watch “Hateful Eight,” or any of Tarantino films that have excellent dialogue and action.

2.9/5 (Not fresh)

Great until it’s Not.
I really wanted to like this movie. For about the first hour, I really did, but by about the two-hour mark I was ready for the film to end, and by the time the credits rolled I found myself walking from the theater slightly disappointed. “Bad Times at the El Royale” was written and directed by Drew Goddard (“Cabin in the Woods”), a man whose work I’ve been largely split on, but whenever he hits the nail on the head, his stuff really works for me. This film started off great; there were lots of great twists and turns, memorable and diverse characters, and a mysterious premise. But as the film rolled on, and the character’s secrets were unveiled, I found myself growing disenfranchised with the film. Goddard continuously hints at darker things happening, but he never really delivered what he promises. The movie felt like it was trying to emulate the overlapping storylines of “Pulp Fiction”, and even some of the dialogue felt like it was Tarantino-esque, but Goddard never quite reaches the level of snappiness Tarantino infuses into his films. Goddard’s writing seems uneven; some of the lengthy dialogue scenes are great, while others are dull, borderline boring.
