"Another historical fiction novel. Set in the American west and the impossible to imagine violence and betrayal that occurred."

Extensive probe into racial hatred, murder and racial violence existing in the era. (2 more)
Superbly written and there's no holding back with the violence and language.
Incredibly good read, but it's a painful journey of life at that time.
This is an intricate story, reaching back through the generations of civil rights - gritty indeed.

One of the best written films I have ever watched. The dialogue romps along, as does the action and the violence. As a rule I don't like violent films but Tarantino's violence is OTT rather than psychological so it becomes almost comical. This film is a cult classic and deserves this kudos.

Raunchy Hilarious NotSoFamilyFriendly Superhero
Ryan Reynolds made fans happy by making this movie and undercutting the Xmen and typical superhero mythology. Fantastic fourth wall breaking narration, violence with raunchy tongue in cheek humor .. Know exactly what you're going in for when you see it, and you'll love it.

"Again, the violence. The discovery of Constance Towers’s shaved head, in the precredits scene, remains one of my strongest fetishist images."

I wanted to like it, I really did.
Okay my low rating isn't because it was necessarily a bad comic because it wasn't, it had some really awesome parts and I love the super group so much but it was like Millar saw how much people loved the violence, myself included, and kind of just went so overboard with it in this volume that it really took away from the story because it was just violence for the sake of violence the hyper violence this time around just didn't add anything to the story and one instance really was just cringe worthy and honestly ruined the rest of the comic for me.

So as much as I wanted to like this one I just didn't.
