Some general points: Interesting that Waltz got the Oscar again for much the same performance he got his first Oscar for. He's charismatic nonetheless. Weird use of rap songs. Uneven tone. Editing was both disconcerting and a little loose. Tarantino needs an editor that can stand up to his ego. The last act was predictable cliche. Great cinematography. Strong performances, although the females were underwritten this time. Wasn't convinced by Tarantino's cameo as an Australian miner. He probably should resist the temptation to cast himself. When it was violent, it was deliciously over-the-top. All up, another very watchable Tarantino flick.

It's one small Thermal Exhaust Port for Luke, one giant plot hole for Lucas.

Sorry 'bout the spoilers. I assumed the participants above had seen the film (it was released over three months ago, and is based on a bestselling book). What's the rule on spoilers? End of theatrical run? One year? The main attraction of the movie is the wonderful cinematography, effects, acting, and directing. The story doesn't hinge on a critical twist, like a murder mystery does. But apologies all the same.
