did we watch the same movie

Rating: 5/10 (21 November 2009)

I can't get the point of all those critics as if the movie was super. It was not. It couldn't be! Whatever you do with that script, it's bad. I love watching Tarantino movies because i believe he has a very dark sense of humor which continuously teases you and challenges your intelligence. But this time he really messed up I believe. This movie is a very very weak movie compared to his previous movies. I think the script is too weak for a WWII movie. Think about all the movies you watched on the WWII (Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List, Life is Beautiful, etc.). They are all masterpieces and maybe the strongest movies of the directors. Don't get me as I compare "basterds" with these movies. This movie could be Tarantino's masterpiece, if he worked a little more seriously on it. I had great expectations before the movie. He would surprise and shock me with all the intelligent quotes and scenes. But his characters were so dumb that it just turned out to be a movie to insult Nazis and maybe all of us. The only two things that I liked about the movie was the card game in the basement and Hitler getting crazy as these "heroes" continued their operations.
