I think this might just be my masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (30 August 2009)

I think a lot of people were waiting for Tarantino's great comeback, which would include all the components that made his earlier features cult movies (I'm talking about Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction of course): good storyline, stylish dialogue, cool characters etc. Although Tarantino has never made a really bad movie, Death Proof is still unforgivable for director, who made above mentioned movies. Tarantino fans can now sigh with relief because with Basterds he prove that his talent is not lost.
Inglourious Basterds is a bit similar to Pulp Fiction. Both films are a bit over the top (Basterds over the top parts are more over the top than in Pulp Fiction, but serious parts in IB are more serious than in PF), full of great (but not likable) characters and feature story lines, which collide during the coarse of the movie.
It is difficult to say, what genre of film does Inglourious Basterds belong to, but I would call it a thriller-spaghetti western with humor set during the WWII, but don't expect a war movie.
Tarantino has made a movie, which is very close to masterpiece (yes, IMO even closer than Pulp Fiction). I am saying close because in the middle of the film there is one scene, which is just too long. If ten minutes were cut in the correct places, this could have been a real classic, but it was very entertaining movie nevertheless.
My verdict: 8.5
