Each scene involves a twenty-five to thirty minute conversation between the characters with dialog that is either in French, German, and very rarely in English. There are some brutally graphic parts to the movie, but these are limited and aren't as frequent as the bloody carnage found in Pulp Fiction or Kill Bill Vol. 1.
What makes no scene at all is the pacing of this movie, as it jumps from place to place in a very sloppy fashion. It tries to be true to the same Quentin Formula which is to make aspects of scenes seem as authenic and as true to life as possible while at the same time make other scenes have mundane cartoonistic violence, and normally these formula has worked for him in the past but here it just comes off as very sloppy and goofy.
Take my advice and at least wait until this comes out on DVD and rent it before you spend the full price on a movie ticket so at least you can save your money. It's a definite thumbs down from me and I love Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill Vol. 1. Trust me, this movie will become the most overrated piece of garbage when the year is through. It lacks any true flavor and originality that Q.T.'s earlier films have, and it will be forgotten by the public years from now.
1. yes there's a lot of dialogue, but it's well written, and not slow at all, and i don't see the issue of subtitles
2. the violence was there, and it was quite graphic. i for one appreciated the fact that it wasn't all the film was about
some very good acting in it too, the french farmer at the beginning, top work, and the ss captain was played very well too.
Favourite scene? the scene in the pub where they meet up with the german actress, dress as german officers. i could feel the tension as if i was sitting there, and didn't expect the conclusion of it at all
