I just couldn't enjoy this very much. Lots of talky scenes bereft of the cleverness Quentin used to display so easily. And then the ridiculous climax. You think there would be only a few soldiers around to guard ALL the top Nazis? That alone was enough to sink it. There is artistic license and then there is gross ridiculousness.
And the black guy running around at that point in Nazi occupied France was just silly. What was the purpose of his character???
A weak film.
I hope Quentin just tossed this out as a small exercise while he put his genius into some magnum opus of which we've heard about for some time.
This was weak.
