It's Cristoph Waltz's movie

Rating: 7/10 (9 August 2016)

There are many things to like here. Cristoph Waltz has a wonderful performance. Especially the "Chapter 1". It's brilliant. Tarantino himself has said that Waltz "gave him his movie".
Also, the whole "chapter" idea is nice, though, from Chapter 3, they are not so well defined and the idea gets lost.
Other actors are also doing a fine job. Tarantino's directing is obviously improved from his first films, is good and interesting.
The script, if you forget the silly "alternate WW II" setting, is, in general, interesting, showing, in several different "angles", the "nerve games/battles" that are often not shown in movies - because it is hard to do. Yet, here, they are all well done (of course, Chapter 1 being superior to others).
Also, I like that there is much less blood pumping around than in other Tarantino movies. That got old with Reservoir Dogs.
But, the silly "alternate WW II" setting is way to silly, it becomes a real issue. It's not funny enough to warrant this level of silly. Were it less silly, or were it stripped of WW II references, and portrayed some "generic war", it would not be (such a) problem. As is, it wanders, at times, into the "revenge porn" movie kind of thing, which is never good.
Also, it's too long. I understand the idea was to depict the "mind games", and that takes time, but, for example, the Whole Chapter 2 could have been stripped and just given as some back-story in later chapters. Especially since it is the weakest and most "borderline revenge porn" of all chapters.
There are some other aspects I don't like, but, those are "Tarantino trademarks", so, it doesn't make much sense to waste time on discussing them.
Bottom line: although not entertaining as some other Tarantino films, this is certainly worth a watch.
