8.5, you gotta be kidding me

Rating: 5/10 (9 November 2013)

I read & heard a lot about this movie & was anxious to watch it. But my expectations which were sky-high came crashing down in less than 3 hours time. I mean there are so many goof-ups I wonder if I ever noticed in a QT flick. The worst part is that the film though is a period drama, is far from reality & can't even be called a drama. Add to that the length, all of 165 minutes which added to my agony. I know Quentin Tarantino is a great filmmaker but with such a great cast & some decent performances, he should have done more to the weak script, mind you he is the mind behind the story & script. My verdict is 5 out of 10 only because of some great performances by Jamie Foxx & Christoph Waltz; Leonardo had nothing much do it. Way too overrated.....avoid it.
