While it was entertaining.. It was taxing and disappointing.. Very good acting from what I could tell when I didnt have to read subtitles.. ugh.. Overall.. It started off strong but ended on a dud.. It is however my favorite tarantino film..

I always love the opening scenes of QT's movies and this one didn't disappoint me. He builds tension so well. And he did it twice during this film.

The basement scene was great as well, I just don't see German officers playing a stupid drinking game in a bar next to enlisted folk.

Good / Entertaining film. Not great.... In fact.... It never was great.

Did wish Brad got more face time. "CORRECTO"!!!

If this exact movie had been made by Robert B. Schmuck, it would have been labeled "meh" at best and "stinker" at worst. It was ok and did have it's moments, but let's face it... you could photograph dog poop decaying on a paper plate and make hundreds of millions with it as long as Tarantino's name is attached to it.

Loved Pulp Fiction, hated the Kill Bills, and various reactions to his other films, so it's not like I'm a Tarantino hater.

Brad Pitt was freaking HIGH-larious. Not a huge QT fan but I liked this movie. Christoph Waltz did an AMAZING job, too.

Was very good in parts. Very boring in others. Overall I enjoyed it though. That whole posing as Italians and saying they spoke Italian was hilarious.

Nowhere near the amount of violence that I expected either.

Recently watched it. I loved the long scenes and yes the Italian scenes were flippin hilarious. I also didn't think it was all that violent. Just a few scenes and that last scene made my stomach turn!
