I would argue that Inglourious is one of the worst stories I've ever watched. Tarantino has a great eye for beautiful shots and a keen sense of dialog, but his story telling ability borders on non-existent. Ingluorious was the pinnacle of this underachievement in his career until Django came out. Part of me likes both movies for what they offer, but what they offer is not a coherent script.
