That being said, I thought the movie was oddly flat - Could be that with Tarantino and the billed cast, I had high expectations - But considering his history, how could you NOT have high expectations... I don't know, I'm ultimately conflicted here as I think back to Tarantino's body of work from Reservoir Dogs to Basterds and this just isn't as impactful as his other pieces, or as impactful as it should have been. I was really disappointed.
Good, but not as great as it should have been.
3/5, I guess, but probably because I am biased and have a hard time giving Tarantino lower than a 3...

Not a quite fan of the finale of Inglorious. Liked Django a lot more than the Basterds.

IMO: There are only 2 'good' things about this latest take on TCM saga:
1) Hopefully now this will make the 2003 Marcus Nispel directed remake (my very favorite guilty pleasure) & the 2006 prequel version
TCM: The Beginning (loved it too) "damn good films! or may be even epic" to those ardent fans of the original who so far hated or didn't like the 03 & 06 versions at all.
2) The young horror-hottie Alexandra Daddario, playing Leatherface's hot cousin:D
Overall, awful plot! Haven't seen the
Next Generation (1994) yet; so for me, this is the worst!
