9. No Christoph Waltz
Don't get me wrong: Christopher Waltz is a bonafide phenomenon, the only other actor - alongside Samuel L. Jackson - who can speak Tarantino's trademark dialogue to utter perfection. It's almost as if Christoph Waltz was put on this good Earth to say the words written down in QT's scripts. But let's face it: when Waltz appears in a Tarantino movie, he dominates it entirely. It's not the actor's fault, of course (two Oscars prove that), but Tarantino has a tendency to let Waltz's presence overshadow everything else. The movie literally begins to gravitate around him. That was fine for two movies, of course, and though they had similar traits, Hans Landa and Dr. King Schultz were two very different beasts: fundamentally, one was a bad guy, and the other was a good guy (yes, you could definitely argue that those lines got very, very blurred in both movies). Still, we've had a Christoph Waltz western now - Django was absolutely Dr. Schultz's movie, and few would likely disagree. It would take a lot for us to get sick of Waltz and QT, of course, but for this next western, I think it'd be smart to leave Waltz on the sidelines (just for one movie!).
