Too much subtitled dialogue not enough nazi killing combat action. Great ending but fairly boring lead up. I’m a Tarantino fan less with each movie.

I thought the "borrowing" directly from Leone/Moricone for scenery and music and mashing Moricone's music with moonlight sonata(?) was below someone with Tarantino's time in the director's seat. It clumsy, obvious and uninspired, the scene following was solid but that was the only one in the whole film I can remember with any fondness or detail... My fault with the marketing is presenting this as some homage to The Dirty Dozen. This film had no actors with any of the screen presence of the actors from that film - except maybe Jim Brown who is just HUGE. There were no Savalas, Bronsons, Marvins or Sutherlands in this production. The two stand outs were Pitt and Waltz and these still has none of the personality that character of those in the Dirty Dozen... Does this matter? I don't know par for the course of modern filmmaking I guess... The Jew bear, after a minutes build up to the anticlimax of the year, appears... he is neither huge, scary (was it being ironic?). I felt that if the Cohens had done this he would have been a giant or a midget, extreme or extremely ironic... Instead we just get Tarantino's rentboy Eli Roach. Wow. The bar scene is Tarantino trying to reproduce the shock value of the car crash climax half way through Deathproof. Except that he had really dull characters talk for too damn long before the inevitable flurry of violence occured. By which point the violence was just relief fromt he tedium of the film as it was - rather than a surprise or a climax... It fails and I don't care how clever critics think he was mashing Euro art film with action/Western/wateverer. Most are just too scared to suggest the "genius" "enfant terrible" of pooping his drawers and asking Joe Public to pay to see it. Many seemed impressed by the opening scene.
