what a load of drivel

Rating: 1/10 (26 August 2009)

Cardboard cutout characters, clichés, phoned in performances. I was disappointed. The plot was telegraphed in the first ten minutes and much of the dialogue improvised to save money on good writing. I expect there are some demographies that lap this stuff up but I prefer plot, imagination, good writing and good acting. On top of all that the storyline (and I am stretching it) was so incredible I could not suspend disbelief. The only interesting moment was Tarantino generating outrage in us at the Germans watching "Nation's Pride" yukking it up as Americans were being killed, then a few minutes later the cinema audience were cheering on as the cast of German soldiers and politicos were being killed on screen.
