kind of lame

Rating: 5/10 (30 August 2009)

A few visually brilliant and superbly acted scenes, interspersed in plot that plods along, do not make a great movie. I'm afraid that Tarantino's narrative style doesn't really hold this film together. I found myself dozing off at several points in the film. On the other hand, Christof Waltz is absolutely brilliant as the charmingly sociopathic SS Col Hanz Landa. He leaves Brad Pitt's corny acting style in the dust. Best Supporting Actor for Waltz next year?
Tarantino could have easily edited out 45 or 50 minutes this film and left them for the deleted scenes section of the DVD. This could have been as good as "From Dusk Till Dawn", but that's not saying much. My advice is don't waste your money on seeing this in the theater. Wait for NetFlix, a the ability to fast forward through the boring parts...
