Really big QT fan but if you are expecting greatness along the lines of Django or Inglorious Bastards you will be hugely disappointed. I think QT really overthink this, or tried to be too cute/brilliant. I gave it a 5 solely for the work and production that went into it. I would in 100% honesty give the story/plot a 2 star. Read up on the more negative reviews. They basically all say the same thing, and they are right. I'm not sure they glowing reviews are real.

This movie had an super-ultra all-star cast. Probably had 15+ famous actors that made appearances throughout the film. The cinematography, production, and look/feel were absolutely great but honestly the storyline/plot was mostly irrelevant, nonexistent, and frankly pointless. Add that to 2hr 45min and I can honestly say I couldn't wait for it to be over. I had no idea what the story was about or what the goal was. Most of the scenes were 2-3 minutes too long. An over abundance of constant rambling and irrelevant dialog. From the 2hr mark on some in the theater like myself would groan when scenes would just draaaaag on and and on and on. Even my girlfriend who is never as critical as myself and can sit through bland movies/tv shows without a problem even said halfway through "are you bored too? I don't understand the point". If she would say that, believe me there is something to it.

Enjoy at your own risk.
