Basterds was fantastic, this is GARBAGE

Rating: 1/10 (13 February 2013)

Inglorious Basterds is one of my favorite movies of all time, so I was shocked by how bad this movie was. It's comparable to the dreadful Death Proof, only difference, that movie was meant as a joke, I think..
Tarantino can't be serious with this film. It desperately tries to shock you with gory violence yet manages to be extremely boring and lackluster throughout. The pacing and editing of this movie are dreadful. Basically it holds up well for some minutes until they kill the sheriff. From there on an already weak script collapses into random and drawn out scenes and a confusing, unfocused whole.
When they get to Candyland you are already wondering why the Waltz character is risking his life to free Djangos girl. Since the script is dull and there's no chemistry between the men. Django manages to be a completely pointless and bland character throughout the movie, you don't care about him or his quest, and that's the movie's biggest shortcoming.
I won't blame the actors since I think they're doing their best with awful script and lackluster directing. The Di Caprio character gets introduced in a disgusting and tasteless scene where one slave is poking the eyes out of another. I normally have no problem with violence in movies when it's done for a REASON. Here it's just pointless and in your face without doing anything for the story. The same goes for the use of the n-word. I doubt that even in slavery times they would use the word every 2 SECONDS throughout the movie.
And what's with the stupid names, King Schultz, Broomhilda von Schaft, Calvin Candie, Big Daddy, I mean it sounds like something a 5 year-old would come up with.
If I was black I would definitely get offended by this piece of trash. The movie critics and general audience praise for this movie only further proves that most people are sheep that want to be told what to like. I seriously felt like in the movie Idiocracy with people in the audience laughing every two seconds when the n-word was used.
Not even the soundtrack is good this time around. I don't know what QT has been smoking lately but the soundtrack is an inappropriate mess with different styles wildely mixed together.
That QT could go from the fantastic Inglorious Basterds to this pile of trash is beyond comprehension. I guess it just goes to show nobody's perfect, even though movie critics and fanboys alike will desperately make them out to be.
Basterds had an intelligent script, great acting in different languages, solid directing and editing, suspenseful scenes, a truly fresh and original feel. The 2 and a half hours just rushed through and when it was finished you wanted to see it again. The characters felt genuine and likable and you actually cared when something happened to them. This movie has NONE of that, the German scenes with Broomhilda are weird and completely out of place, thrown in just for some shits and giggles. The Candyland scenario was drawn out beyond belief and I kept looking at my watch waiting for the terrible experience to be over with.
This movie is a confused mess, nuff said, spare yourself the money and the torture of sitting through what will feel like the longest three hours of your life. And I will never listen to a movie critic or IMDb rating ever again...
