Overrated

Rating: 2/10 (12 March 2012)

This is a very poor film. There are some good performances, in particular Christoph Waltz who is excellent but a few good performances, and slick scenes do not make a good film and the lead, Brad Pitt, is awful as usual. I cannot understand why this has such a high rating. I went into the Cinema with an open mind and struggled to make it to the end, but I think too many people go into Tarantino films a bit too influenced by the hype - like the people who buy an iPhone because everyone else has one. The revenge message of the film is vile as it appears to justify killing Germans indiscriminately, because of the actions of other Germans - essentially this is just racist. I've watched films before that had a message I didn't agree with but the at least the film at least was enjoyable or thought provoking but this film doesn't even have that - don't waste your time on this!
