Violent, bizarre, entertaining but not quite.

Rating: 5/10 (20 January 2010)

Tarantino, everyone knows this guy. Violent, bizarre, great director.
If you are going to watch this movie, please do forget the first line. If you want to judge this film, you need to be objective.
Well, let's begin, shall we?. The first scene was great, I mean, there was a great atmosphere, great color selection, great script, great performances, you all know who I'm talking about, if not, Chrostoph Waltz. After the first scene, the film takes a very bad turn and goes downhill from then on.
What happens in the early-mid part of the film?. Nothing..., just an attempt to replicate some of the things he (Tarantino) did in the past, he failed terribly at all of these. Just an example:
***SPOILER ALERT****
The last bit of the film where the girl gets killed is basically what he did in Kill Bill when O-Ren Ishii's parents were killed. The only difference is that in Kill Bill he succeeded remarkably well. You may or may not like Kill Bill but that scene was beautiful, the colors, angles, animation and MUSIC were all dancing together for the same purpose.
The scene where the guy comes out with the baseball bat is an attempt to replicate the entrance of the Crazy 88 in Kill Bill. Failed at that as well, too long, too boring, turned out to be quite annoying.
********************
The mid-last part of the film was boring as well. Long conversation and very pointless ones. You know Tarantino, scripts tend to have random conversations but this was just too random for my taste.
I'm not going to go against the historical inaccuracies like some people who wrote reviews because it's fiction, you need to understand that.
The other performances were dull to me. Brad Pitt did a good job, I think the best he could've done. Why?, because he is a fantastic actor. But the part was not very well written, so there's limits to a performance.
Maybe if the film had been an hour shorter I would've reacted differently.
In conclusion, try to be objective please. Last but not least, because it's a film by Quentin Tarantino doesn't mean it's going to be good, great, or bad. If you are curious, go and watch it.
