Disagree there.

Pitt was solid. Although I must admit it seemed like he was playing in a different movie than everyone else until the very end

But that was probably what QT intended...Having the American soldiers represent War films of the 40s-60s.

Fassbender was tremendous imo. He makes that Tavern scene complete. Probably a top 5 scene in QT movie history.

However, the greatness of that scene is why I think Django Unchained is better. Django Unchained's "Dinner table scene" wasnt as good as IB's....but it was of greater importance. It directly involved central characters to the plot....which ultimately led to "Handshake Scene' which kicks the movie into high gear. I cared more about what was going to happen to Waltz, Foxx, Washington....then Fassbender, Stiglitz....only because..

QT didnt feature their characters enough in the movie. IB needed more Basterds in it imo. More Basterds and it probably is my favorite QT of all time.
