Great acting, terribly misleading trailer

Rating: 5/10 (24 January 2011)

There are reasons why you should avoid watching trailers. This movie is one of them. Before I saw the movie itself, I had seen the trailer at least a dozen times because it seemed that the producer's goal was to ensure everyone to know of the film. And just like practically everyone around me, I was really looking forward to the film. Great, thought I! A band of American mercenaries, off to kill one hundred Nazi's each! That was practically the whole trailer... What did we get to see? Well, not much. There were no battles, no gore, just some short conversations that did not have any significance for the plot in any way. The scenes did not make any sense at all. I do not think that the way Tarantino deliberately misspelled the title of the film changes anything about its stupidity.
Of course, there is also the bright side of life. For one, I really liked the way Christoph Waltz depicted the Nazi officer. Also, Brad Pitt's outrageous accent never ceases to entertain me. The mustache that rests on top of his mischievous crack out of which a lot of bullsh*t comes, has a finishing touch.
This movie is, in my opinion, heavily overrated. The Second World War combined with a lot of unrealistic and irrelevant characters and the alternative ending just does not work. I think people are too psyched about the way the war was won so easily in the movie, or because Brad Pitt had a giant mustache and a great accent, because the movie was not special at all.
