I'm guessing the reason I hated it so much is because I had no idea it was going to make that dumb plot turn and I was disappointed by it. I didn't know what type of movie it was before I saw it I just knew it involved Quentin Tarantino.
But I didn't really feel it had good humor or was even too original for that matter. Nor was the acting that great (Especially since George Clooney was in it). You are right about one thing though, it was an amusing movie. I find myself making fun of it quite often ... Just my opinion.

Well, it's mainly a matter of personal taste and the right mood and atmosphere to watch the movie. I found the plot to be dumb, maybe even stupid, but enjoyed the movie nevertheless, because I thought it was well made and had a few good things going for it.
Maybe you expected a more intelligent flick, with Tarantino dialogues and Pulp Fiction-like story line. Couple that with your obvious dislike for Clooney, and I can see why you ended up hating it. But
that on its own doesn't make the movie bad. That was my point.
I don't think you can get far by making fun of this movie though: nobody takes it seriously anyway (or at least, they
shouldn't).
