Nope, just Tim Roth doing a Waltz impression.
You know how everyone that does a George H.W. Bush impression is actually doing Dana Carvey doing a Bush impression? Walken impressions are the same way; people doing impressions of Jay Mohr as Chrisopher Walken. That's pretty much what Roth did throughout that movie; an impression of a Christoph Waltz impression. It took me out of the movie at times. Even Michael Madsen seemed to just be playing Michael Madsen in a farmer's costume. Goggins and Dern were the only two people who impressed in that movie, IMO. Russell and Jackson were just trying to one-up each other to see who could chew the most scenery and everyone else was just largely forgettable apart from Tatum's relatively brief cameo. Most great Tarantino movie's have a standout performance that really elevates them. Djano - Waltz; Basterds - Fasbender and Pitt; Pulp Fiction - Jackson (nod to Rames and Willis); Reservoir Dogs - Keitel. Kill Bill was such an ensemble that it's harder to identify one but I thought Lui and Carradine were both amazing and the story was incredibly strong. True Romance used its characters very much like Hateful Eight did; more characters, less emphasis on a lot of them, but it did a better job of it. Walken, Hopper and Oldman made that movie from ancillary roles, IMO. I just didn't feel that way about this one. Maybe another viewing would change my mind but I just wasn't terribly impressed.

The 70MM experience was fantastic. Absolutely loved it, glad I was lucky enough to have a showing nearby. I'm not sure if that is why I have a higher opinion of the movie than most, ill try the Blu Ray again soon to see if it lowers my opinion at all, one of the things about Tarantino Movies is the re watch power.

I just watched it last night. I had no idea that was not Waltz. Just thought he was phoning it in on this one.

Now imagine you recognized Tim Roth from the start (because I'm a Reservoir Dogs fan). Wouldn't that be both distracting and annoying?

I seriously don't know how anyone doesn't recognize that that's Roth, or how you'd confuse him with Waltz.
