Thoroughly dumb

Rating: 2/10 (4 September 2010)

For some reason I had high hopes for this movie, probably because of the hype. It turns out it was ALL hype I am saddened to say. I have no problem with the exaggerated violence, it's expected in a Tarantino movie. The problem for me is that the movie comes across as thoroughly dumb or even daft. From Dusk Till Dawn looks like a masterpiece in comparison to this crap. Time spent watching this movie is purely wasted time.
The story and dialogue is cliché, mostly boring and even childish. It could be a sign of the movie that the only really good acting in this movie is by the villain. How this movie has received any good reviews is beyond me. Another HUGE mystery is that this movie could be even nominated for ONE award. On one hand Christoph Waltz was by far the best actor in the movie, but then again there was no competition was there? My guess is that there must have been a drought in the movie business or a total lack of ideas the whole of 2009.
Do yourself a favor and stay away from it. Tarantino has made good movies. This is definitely not one of them.
