Awesome, witty, violent, romantic visually evocative, a masterpiece.

Rating: 9/10 (6 January 2010)

I didn't want to watch this but someone in my family got it. Scene one was slow way to slow for me with this German officer, smooth as silk and sinister as well as charm personified. The actor, and find of the new decade, Christopher Waltz gives a remarkable performance and for me steals the accolades by a whisker. A star is born!(well hes been well known in Europe for years but now Hollywood will show him to all the world) Brad Pitts bunch of basterds are not all the film is about but the story is both graphic and beautiful with many tarantinoesque moments. For me his best work to date. If you hate Tarantino's work please watch this, its a stellar piece from him, stellar.
Pitts uncompromising ruthless and yet comical character is played brilliantly, the boy ain't just a pretty face.
Melanie Laurent features heavily and plays Shosanna Dreyfus, she is both beautiful and acts the part wonderfully.
The spin is that unlike most WW2 films this gives a different spin being a fictional piece of work, it leaves you with a sense of satisfaction at the ultimate outcome and is a film that for me registers right up there and believe me I seen them all.
WATCH IT!
