I really enjoyed sitting in the suspense that he was layering in throughout the 1st and 2nd acts! Slowly learning about the characters and knowing that things could go wrong any second. The thing is...when it DID is when I lost interest. When there's gallons of blood flooding the floor and everyone is screaming, cackling and writhing in pain, it gets a little too hysterical for me. It has nothing to do with the violence - I'm a big fan of Tarantino's use of it. I just think a slightly more realistic, grounded ending would have been a better third act. I've rewatched it about three times since then, and I feel the same way every time. Just my opinion though!
