Well, maybe not that great, but highly recommended. This is a very clever movie as you would expect from Quentin Terrantino. I loved the fact that Quentin had to not only find someone for the lead villian who could speak German, Italian, French and English, but also someone who understood Quentin's poetry and genius. Oh, and he had to be a good actor too. Chris Waltz is amazing. Even better than Brad Pitt in this movie. Although, I really think Pitt is coming into his own finally. He is peaking with Burn After Reading and his role in this movie. Go see it.
I liked both the movie and the book better than the DaVinci Code movie and book. I think the key was that the movie this time did not try to follow every little detail and sub plot from the book. This also seems like more of a mystery thriller than the DaVinci Code.
