BORING with a capital B

Rating: 1/10 (12 September 2011)

It's funny how when you look at the reviews, people either give this movie 10 stars or 1 star. Personally I would have given it zero stars had that been an option. I truly think some people have such a fascination with QT that anything he directs is wonderful to them. That's great, but rating this movie in the top 100? Above Scarface, Blade Runner, Jaws and The Terminator? Really?? This kind of blind devotion defeats the whole point of a top 250 if you ask me.
To me, this was a horrible movie. I agree that QT has a unique style of direction, but come on people, a one trick pony ain't real interesting the second time around. QT has slipped into the same category as M. Knight S...we've seen it all before. The ability to fill hours of film with pointless dialog and kill off a main character and keep going, was great the first time, but it's getting old.
The first scene was entertaining to me. I do agree that Christoph Waltz did a nice job acting in the role of Col Hans Landa, but realistically, if he gave the same performance in a less hyped movie, he would have fell through the cracks on Oscar night.
About 2 of the 2.5 hours of this movie consisted of pointless dialog leading to very telegraphed and predicable outcomes. I watched the whole movie, but couldn't wait for the final credits to finally roll. The last 15 minutes of the movie was also entertaining, but overall the movie was a waste of time. Even the "good" parts were just alright.
My recommendation is to pass on this one.
