Second time seeing this since it was released on Blu-ray in 2009 and still is a solid war-thriller with Tarantino's flair with dialogue and of course, feet. But seriously, despite being 2.5 hours, the time flew by thanks to the brisk pace and great performances from all around. Not my favorite Tarantino film but it's up there. **4.5/5**

Another banger from Tarantino. Christoph Waltz is such an amazing actor in this one.

This is a very good historical movie renacting ww2 when germans occupied europe. The comedic moments were a bit drawn out, I guess it was funny during the times of production, and the scalping was unnecessary and adds no relevance Other than that, excellent movie
