    It just didnt really do it for me. I did enjoy it but I do not really get the hype around this at all. 

    Starting with what I liked, Waltz as Hans Landa is genuinely incredible. While all the acting performances are pretty good he is such a clear standout.

Denzel Washington was incredible and I get what all the hype is about now. Pretty sure this is the first movie I’ve watched with him in it. Absolutely nailed his performance and he is what made the movie.
