Decent fun

Rating: 7/10 (6 September 2013)

This film has got the usual Tarantino flash of sweet camera choreography, violence, and smooth dialogue while Waltz and DiCaprio completely outdoes each other in every scene. One sequence where these two completely ruled the movie was the dinner scene where they show how tough of an argument an exchange of words can be. One goes for the KO straight away as the other sardonically submits to him, leading to one heck of a masterful, albeit violent, conclusion between parties.
160 minutes felt overly long at times and I thought 2 hours was enough at times. Some scenes felt unnecessary long while some scenes were just excellent fun along with the music that jumps from Western hymns to big bass rap. I would recommend anyone to check this out solely for the laughs the raid scene gave me. The dialogue could not have been better and every bit player, whether with a few words or a few sentences, kept me chuckling over and over. This is a good film I may or may not watch again. But if you're a Tarantino fan, this has got most of the reasons you started loving him: fearless desire to merge wit, violence, satire, and love for the art form.
