I'mBoredWithThese Bastards

Rating: 6/10 (28 August 2009)

As a fan of many Tarantino films I walked into the theater with high hopes for this movie, though I would have to say that despite being a visually pleasing film with some well written dialog, it was flat out boring. I am not a film student who is interested in studying all the subtle things Tarantino does to make this movie interesting, I want to be entertained. One would think that a movie about an elite group of soldiers sent in to strike fear into the hearts of the Nazis through the use of brute force and barbaric tactics might actually contain action...nope. Though there were a couple scenes that made you think that the movie might be starting to pick up the pace, it didn't, and those few scenes were all too brief. I expected over-the-top "Kill Bill" type action, but the pace of the movie was more reminiscent of "Death Proof". You sit through over two hours of dialog just to be rewarded with 15 minutes of action. The movie is definitely watchable, if you don't go to see it expecting to be blown away by the fight scenes. There were some welcomed bits of comedy mixed in with the drama/suspense,but the lack of action will leave your inner bloodthirsty-bastard wanting much more.
