Anyone else seen this yet? I saw it this afternoon and I was left generally unimpressed. There are moments in the film that are very good and I don't even mind him completely ignoring historical facts. But it could have done with about 20 minutes cutting from the film, as some of the long dialogue sections had me thinking, "just get on with it"!

I know Tarrantino is a massive film buff and he likes to show his influences in the films he makes, but at times it felt a little like he'd read a book on German cinema of the Nazi era and he wanted to show everyone his newly acquired, but basic knowledge.
