I couldn't really care for any of the characters apart from the cinema owner and it was far too long (as usual).

Before I get the usual Tarantino fanboys on my back daring to criticise one of his films (8.5 on IMDB wtf?), I watch every single film without any prejudice and just say what I think and I think it's yet another forgettable film the walking chin has dealt out since Kill Bill vol 1 (oh and well done Tarantino for getting in your foot fetish shot and being so post modern as to put a David Bowie track in a film set in the 40's yes I know it's a homage- we get it. You love movies, now write and direct something with substance like your first two movies FFS).

Christoph Waltz was damn good in it though. Sinister and comedic.
I actually agree with you on several points. It is too long and not very cohesive. But the awesomeness of Brad Pitt and the Basterds along with Waltz's character is enough for me to really love it. And how can you praise Waltz but not claim to have liked his character?
