magnificent film

Rating: 9/10 (20 October 2009)

Quentin Tarantino is magnificent. I rally love the way he control the pace of a film. From the beginning of the movie. The part in the french house, where Landa (Waltz) interrogating the french family. For the first 2-3 minutes i was eagerly anticipating of something (drama obviously) big. But then, until around 5-10 minutes it became something big. For most other films, i would've already judged it a bad movie. But the changes of pace is really what made Quentin Tarantino is great.
The whole film was excellent, and the whole cast did a really good job in their portrayal of each character.Even brad Pitt, which i thought maybe was unable to play this character, i still think he really did a good job. But one actor which i thought did the best job (and quite frankly surprised me) is Christopher Waltz. Truthfully, i didn't know who he was until the film, but i've seen him in a couple of films, but i just didn't know it was him. Waltz portrayal of Landa is very very good for me, the way he expresses himself, the way he think, the Nazi'ness, the ability of speaking in many languages and still made the character easily to believe.
The best scene for me was when the basterds rendezvous with von hammersmark (diane kruger), the set was made perfect, the acting, the intensity, the comedy, was very nice. The ending of the clip was also very good, especially when hammersmark shot the Nazi private. For me that part of the film, is one of the best clips i have seen in my life.
The low down for me is the ending of the film. I think Hitler's death should be more dramatized, not that easy. The low down is also the "italian" jokes, for me is just a little bit corny. It was not that funny and shouldn't be put in the film.
Overall, Inglorious Basterds an almost excellent film.
