This movie was great on its entirety. Tarantino's take on this Western material was both entertaining and smart at the same time. The actors delivered well with special mention to Christoph Waltz. The story, the material itself was brilliant, it was an excellent job, indeed.
Maybe, I just do not like how bloody it was. The comedy feel plus the drama is fine. BUT, it was a great confusion for me I should feel something that is light for the comedy or should I take it seriously that it is a relevant matter for a film to present. It's just that I was not sure if I have to take in this film as an entertainment or a film which is supposed to teach me something. Do not get me wrong that it did both, it teaches and it entertains, but I felt no impact as I watch it. (MAYBE I'm not the target audience, I'm the type who loves focus and I want to clearly define what is the film for.)
But going back to what I already said. It was a great film. I'm happy that people saw this.
