Wanted it to be really good, but...

Rating: 6/10 (6 September 2009)

I had really high expectations of this film, and sadly have to state I'm a bit disappointed in it. I've liked most of Tarantino's work, especially Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction.
I liked the introduction and the presentation of Landa and Shosanna. Many of the scenes are quite good with well-flowing dialogue. Technically the movie is a masterpiece.
However, there are certain aspects of the film which are not to my liking. I strive to see how Landa should be motivated to change sides and give himself up in the way he does. Also some of the dialogue in my opinion go on for far too long, making me waiting for the action to get going again. This is not a criticism of all the dialogue - much of it is really good, but the flow of the movie as a whole is disrupted.
There are other things which could be said about how Tarantino builds up the world in the film, and how things are not logical within it, but I won't go into details here. All in all this is an entertaining piece, but not what I've come to expect from Tarantino.
