That first scene wasn`t dull at all. It was very intense and helped introduce Landa as the menacing character he is.

^^I wasn't saying the first scene was dull (infact, it's the only scene I really felt I enjoyed).

My point is that the first scene had a completely different flavour from the rest of the movie...and I was lead to believe the rest of the movie would follow suit, and was unpleasantly surprised. That scene was more like a "Shindler's List" kind of scene, if you get what I mean (a movie many people would call 'dull' (but I wouldn't, which is why I put it in quotations)).

To Dillon: The odd thing is, I enjoyed a lot of Tarentino's stuff and considered this a rare miss for him. *shrug* It just felt like this didn't have as much 'to it' as say, Pulp Fiction. (Talking complexity here)

When they did drawn out scenes in that one, I felt something...like I guess when the lady was putting on her lipstick etc. I felt as though I should be feeling suspense, or nervous in some way...but I wasn't lead to care about that character in the slightest. (And of course, that's not the only such scene in I.G. but I figure since I'm already talking about it, haha.)
