About this movie

Brad Pitt takes no prisoners in Quentin Tarantino's high-octane WWII revenge fantasy Inglourious Basterds. As war rages in Europe, a Nazi-scalping squad of American soldiers, known to their enemy as 'The Basterds,' is on a daring mission to take down the leaders of the Third Reich. Bursting with 'action, hair-trigger suspense and a machine-gun spray of killer dialogue' (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone), Inglourious Basterds is 'another Tarantino masterpiece' (Jake Hamilton, CBS-TV)!

Not classic Quentin Tarantino but I like the Inspiration and direction he has in his films. Opening scenes where they are hiding under the Floor Boards from Christoph Waltz's character is brilliant. Brad Pitt's ok and rest of cast but the film goes off at a Tangent in places. Reservoir Dogs,Pulp Fiction,Jackie Brown and True Romance which he wrote far better. Death Proof bit poor also but Django Unchained a recent film a return to form. More Sonny Cheeba if you Please!.

Tarantino indulges the Jewish community with a vengeful fiction story were German soldiers get brutally slaughtered. Its high on dialogue and builds tension well but is ultimately masterbation material for Nazi haters. The so called Nazis who get killed are not Nazis but rather ordinary German soldiers who are following orders. The scene were a German soldier is killed with a baseball bat battering to the head is very distasteful but played out like it is morally just.

Some good scenes and acting... But some scenes are so long for no reason. Cut some of the long-winded talking sessions, and this film would have been an hour shorted. Highly disappointed
