nothing special

Rating: 7/10 (24 December 2009)

I regret to say this but this is the most overrated movie of 2009. Such a waste of talent, money and time. I am pretty sure a lot of the people vote here did not even watch the movie. I have no doubt about the talent of Quentin Tarantino as a director and the directing of the movie was great, but as a writer, he does not have the same qualifications I am afraid and this was his weakest movie. Brad Pitt is normally a great actor but the role he was playing in this movie did not demand any talent. Christoph Waltz, on the other hand had a great performance. Now, let me share my humble opinion on the story. The movie is so long and it is full of never ending conversations. From the trailer, it looks like a war movie but it is not. Very little action and so much dialogs. I am not against this kind of movie making but there was just nothing special. I don't know why so many people find the story so genius. I didn't see anything that was not done before. Besides, even the idea of creating a special brigade to kill your enemies violently is as cruel as burning them in concentration camps and I found making a movie on such an issue quite disrespectful to the memories of those we lost during the war.
