Great fun to watch but on reflection leaves a bit of a bad taste

Rating: 7/10 (21 January 2013)

A really entertaining film when you are in the cinema watching. I have no problem with the length of the film as you become engrossed in the story and characters and the time then passes by quickly. Christoph Waltz is again brilliant but if you have seen him in Inglorious Bastards and Water for Elephants you can certainly see similarities in his style and characters.
My overall impression is that its like watching a comic and is very funny in places, maybe in other places a bit silly, but thats what you expect from a comic. Then it gives you the other end of the extreme and some of the violence belongs more in a horror flick?
We again get the tense and trade mark dialogue around a table, think of the bar scene in IB and you have it here at the plantation, again very good and entertaining. I came away from the cinema feeling I had been very entertained and had a really good laugh, then on reflection having watched the film one thinks thats maybe not what you should be feeling.
So it does entertain you, it does make you think, you go in to watch it caught up in all the hype, after all its been a while since inglorious bastards (which is better in my opinion) and its only after a couple of days if you look back and think that maybe you feel its not as brilliant as its made out to be.
QT puts in a cameo appearance and after seeing him promoting the film and on various chat shows I found it a bit of a distraction and would rather he had not put himself in the film, his acting is not as good as his writing and directing! Definitely worth going to see on the big screen, it may just leave you a little confused as to how you feel about it afterwards.
