I give it a solid 7/10
The thing that kept from 8 or maybe even 9 was the editing, or rather lack of editing. Quentin Tarantino is notoriously bad at editing though, and most reviews noted that IB should have been a good 20 minutes shorter. I'm inclined to agree, only more like 40 minutes.
Each scene used uncomfortable silence and was reeeally stretched out. It would have meant more if there were only maybe two scenes like that, rather than...like, every scene.
And don't even get me started on Brad Pitt's ridiculous accent. Why oh why did that have to happen lol.
But overall it was a pretty good movie. Not enough action IMO, but like I said, if they had cut some scenes shorter it would have been fine. The best parts of the movie were about the Jewish theater girl....
SPOILER!
I loved her! I want to be her! The fact that she would burn down her own theater in order to kill tons of high officers was amazing. She had brains and beauty. Her plan with her employee/boyfriend was freaking awesome.
/SPOILER!Say what you will about Titanic, but that movie has some damn fine editing. And a LOT was edited out too, but sometimes you gotta take stuff out to make a better movie. I'm sure Tarantino will never understand this concept however, and I don't like the majority of his movies anyway, so I don't really care. :P
