Say what you will about Quentin Tarantino - cartoon character wielding, pointless violence featuring - he manages to turn out an interesting, funny, and rich story each time he directs a film.
You've seen the trailers, you know the essential plot - German bounty hunter Christoph Waltz buys the help of freed slave Jamie Foxx to pursue their respective targets, which leads them to rich plantation owner Leonardo Di Caprio and Foxx's wife who is still a slave - now you need to see that story played out in all its Inglorious Basterd-ness.
You have to overcome any concerns you have about the depiction / glorification of racism and recognize it's all just acting appropriate to the time and place - seeing Samuel L Jackson hamming it up should put your mind at rest.
A great film, even if it's no Pulp Fiction.
