A worthless stare

Rating: 1/10 (2 April 2010)

I am a Tarantino fan and a WWII / Nazi movie fan, so I really thought I would like this movie. I WANTED to like this movie. You can imagine my disappointment when this film almost bored me into a coma. Contrary to the opinions of some other viewers, there was nothing groundbreaking, innovative, or shocking about this film. I would have preferred if it was at least offensive instead of a 2 1/2 hour flat-line. There were no characters in it, only 2 dimensional cookie cutter stereotypes. The plot was predictable, the dialog trite. I just stopped caring about what was happening to the characters after the first 20 minutes. And yes, I will grant that the opening scene and Christoph Waltz are exceptions to this general assessment. I truly believe that the deliberately misspelled title was a secret tipoff that you were about to see a stupid, sloppy movie. Unless you need to test your seizure threshold, save your eyes the pain of taking in this empty shell of a movie.
