There's a lot to see here

Rating: 9/10 (7 June 2015)

There are already some wonderful reviews on here about this movie that say an awful lot - everything from the contrasts in hypocrisy to Christoph Waltz's amazing performance.
But I just had to get my oar in!
Yes, This was my first introduction to Christoph Waltz. On my first watching of this movie, I was struck by just how...diabolical...his character is.
Further, I was amazed and impressed when I learned that Mr. Waltz is Jewish. Where I should only assume that portraying a Nazi SS Officer that is also nicknamed "The Jew Hunter" could provide some consternation to the actor, as well as give plenty of fuel to motivate a very passionate performance.
If you happen to have not seen this yet and are reading this review, I would give you the following synopsis to set your expectations: It is done in acts, with definite breaks. The first act is amazing, thanks to Herr Waltz. There is plenty of dialogue throughout the movie that is NOT in English (for my fellow Americans and English speakers) - and it works. Please realize this is pure fiction, although QT does put a lot of attention to some details you may not realize you are seeing (everything from posters in the backgrounds to uniforms), as well as his nods to films styles of a few decades ago. It is typical QT violent fun with a bit of a morality tale included.
Enjoy!
