First of all before I begin let me start by saying that I have enjoyed all of Tarantino's films. Yes his violence in his films is somewhat cartoonish and a bit over the top, but that is also a bit refreshing to see to see violence for what it is VIOLENT!! Instead of the usual water downed violence that most movies employ. With that said this film goes way too far and I mean WAY TOO FAR! The violence in this film is not commensurate with the evilness portrayed in this film. This movie is insulting for intellectuals looking for a drama that reels you in and makes you think. The violence is so over the top it takes away from some very good acting. The performances by Jamie Foxx, Christopher Waltz and Samuel L Jackson are all very good but even their performance was not enough to save this film.

I certainly hope that this is not the future of Tarantino and that he has not ran out of material to actually write and direct movies that have a plot and good story while still employing his unique directing style. I am so disappointed in this film and I feel robbed of 2 hrs and 45 min. I kept hoping the movie could somehow redeem itself at the end but more stupid, useless and out of place violence sealed its fate.

My big concern now is that so many people enjoyed this film and it was nominated for Best Picture. What has become of us and our generation when we reward a film with such as this? If you just want a gruesome, violent, gory file they you need to look no further than any B rated horror flick.

I expect more out of a movie and Quentin Tarantino. Yes his movies have violence and albeit at times the violence is over the top but his movies have always had several other redeeming qualities that put the violence into perspective. However this movie does not. It is needlessly over violent, incredibly stupid and insulting to intellectuals. SHAME ON YOU Tarantino!! You set the bar so low that any B movie director could beat it. I thought you were better than this.

I only watched this movie because IMDb rated it so high and I am sure my vote of 1 won't change it. If you are looking for a bizarre movie that is hard to follow and extremely boring then this movie is for you. I kept watching it saying to myself it must get better but it only got worse. Stupid stupid movie! Even after watching I still can't really explain what is about. I guess the English have a very different taste for movies. I have only written a few reviews but this one was so bad that I just had to write about it. I have always trusted the IMDb ratings for the most part but this movies really racks my confidence in the IMDb rating system and the community that votes. All of you who gave this movie a 9 or a 10 really should stop voting. Please do not waste your time unless you have time to waste.
