High expectations unfortunately not fulfilled

Rating: 4/10 (8 September 2009)

To be honest after movies like Pulp Fiction and Jacky Brown, hearing people comment about the new movie inglorious basterds to be a true highlight, expectations were quiet high. I was a bit disappointed, as I had expected more suspense, more specialities within this movie. But the only really highlight to me was Christopher Waltz which at least kept the level. His way of being overpolite and at the same time very evil is outstanding acting. Brad Pitt for me has showed that he definitely is not one of the top actors. What a shame having him in this film. Dianne Krueger was a waste of time. Conclusion is that I think Tarantino has really gone commercially, always repeating this mix of western and b movies which some kind is boring. His films have since Kill Bill lost the unexpected and are really turning more and more to B Movies although unwanted. Inglorious Basterds is apart from 2-3 scenes just a boring outcome. Don't get me wrong I am everything else than a average Hollywood admirer. I adore the European and Japanese cinema.
