Inglourious Basterds

If you like Quentin Tarantion movies, you'll enjoy this one. It's got his style all over it, which is all good except for one thing. When you feature a lot of dialogue, especially small talk, you should stick to it being in the language of the audience. Having to read subtitles while people spoke German and French for over 2 hours is a bit much. His choice of casting 'the basterds' was a bit intriguing with Eli Roth, BJ Novak, and Samm Levine. The first, isn't the greatest actor to begin with, and the other 2 aren't known for being serious or soldierlike at all. However, his decision to cast Brad Pitt as the lead in the movie and leader of the basterds was brilliant. He was spot on with everything form beginning to end and was the best part of the movie.

Tarantino does a good job of the world the movie takes place in from Germany to the farms of France to the city of Paris. He coves a lot of detail and develops the plot well. However, like he does in most of his movies, he doesn't transition from scene to scene, rather going with chapters. Which isn't a bad technique, but again, with a 2+ hour movie, it just seemed a little too jumpy.

As far as the killing scenes you see in the commercial, again Tarantino delivers, with my only gripe being that there wasn't enough of it.

However, if you like a movie with a lot of killing, graphic violence, and a pretty dark humorous plot this movie is for you. If you hate reading subtitles or sitting over 2 hours in a theatre, flip a coin, either way you'll be ok.

I rate this movie 7.8 of 10.
