Can't believe I'm saying this but I wish Tarantino didn't direct this

Rating: 6/10 (14 February 2010)

First of all I want to say that Quentin Tarantino is one of my favorite movie directors and when I saw the trailer for this movie, my expectations couldn't be higher. Tarantino + killing Nazis = yes. So when I saw this movie I had already made up my mind that I was going to love it. But shortly after seeing this I had to admit that I was disappointed. As with all Tarantino movies there is a lot of dialog, however most of the dialog was in German and French so there was a lot of reading which was annoying since most of it had little to do with the plot. In fact the talking didn't add much to the story or character development and all it accomplished was slow down a story that in my opinion would be more entertaining if it were faster paced. This movie needed less talking and more killing Nazis. Also, this movie seemed to be lacking the silliness found in many Tarantino's earlier work. I'm not saying there is no humor in this movie, but I think it would have been more enjoyable if it had the amount of dark humor found in Kill Bill Vol. 1. I wish that Robert Rodriguez directed this movie. He has a similar style of directing as Tarantino but Rodriguez cuts much of the useless chatter. Despite saying that, Tarantino is still one of my favorite directors, but I hope that he realizes that this movie was not on par with the rest of his work and that he should learn from the mistakes made in this film.
