Not what I expected

Rating: 5/10 (2 June 2013)

Saw it last night and frankly was bored at several occasions.First, I have no clue why Christoph Waltz got an Oscar for this performance. It is almost a copy/paste character from Inglorious Basters , and where in that movie it worked very good indeed it comes over as seen and done in Django.The violence : well pfff...I didn't care for anybody that was blown away , let stand that I got introduced to any of them. The storyline : nothing special , no surprises , no hooks. The pacing : fine. The acting : also nothing special. There is one fact about Tarantino that I like : his way of directing in terms of image, music,scenery is clearly already in his head way before the cameras is ready for rollin'.He has indeed a very good vision of what he wants, but that is not enough to make a good movie.Let me compare this to f.i. most of the Coen movies and more precise f.i. No country for old men : good pacing,hooks,no music at all,acting perfect,visual very good,witty,humor,action OK,but more over with these characters you feel connected. If there is one thing I learned : if I start to look onto my watch how far we are in the movie , than something is wrong. This movie could have been soooooo much better.
