Too much talk....

Rating: 4/10 (30 January 2010)

4 out of 10 because of a little part in the second chapter of the movie and for the entire 5th chapter and the end.
I fell asleep attempting to watch this movie. The first chapter is weird with this French shepherd and this Nazi guy everlastingly talking at a table with this weird friendly/scared manner.
The second chapter it was actually interesting, at least there was some action when Brad Pitt interviews this Nazi prisoner and his Nazi fellows.
The third chapter.. Boring.. A lot of talking, too much.. All German and french and you have to follow all these subtitles unless you know both languages already. Talking and talking and talking and i don't have a lot of patience, i like to see action or, at least, an interesting storyline, period. That's just me. Even though my wife said that i needed to follow the movie entirely to fully understand what's going on.. Well, i'm kinda "happy" with the few things that i've catched.
Some action in the beginning, a nice nap and i woke up just in time for the chapter 5, the final one where i believe the most of the action of the movie is contained.
Despite the crazy plot, totally unhistorical war movie, i wouldn't go too far saying that it was an insult to History, too much blood and guts or stuff like that. I understand that's still a movie and the director can play with it, some can like it and some not.
I'm just disappointed for the huge amount of talking, no sounds around and the camera pointing still at 2 people sitting at a table.. That's the perfect sleeping pill for me. Typical of the Tarantino style, i know, but at least a movie like Pulp Fiction was cool all the way from beginning to the end, this one not at all.
To close this vent/review 1) If you don't mind the talking, staring at the bottom of the screen reading subtitles while you're listening to french and German (mostly) i think it deserves to get a look at least once.
2) If you like to see a fair amount of action and/or an INTERESTING and catchy storyline with a cool meaning to it.. You may want to chose another title for the night, otherwise: Sweet Dreams.
