Inglorious indeed

Rating: 5/10 (3 July 2010)

I didn't see Inglourious Basterds when it came out first. After the huge hype it received, I did decide to give it a shot, and ordered it on demand. What can I tell you, I was really disappointed. Yes, the movie was fun in some parts, but mostly just boring and superficial. I talked my girlfriend in to watching the movie with me. She felt asleep after the first hour... Can't blame her.
I applaud Tarantinos approach, making a wild west style WW2 movie. The music and certain shots created an interesting ambiance. Very enjoyable was also Christoph Waltz' acting. That said, I don't have more positive things to share about this movie.
The rest was as mentioned very superficial, unrealistic, and in certain scenes just plainly boring. Other reviews have mentioned the "table talks". Seriously, there were scenes where I was like "are you kidding me?". I felt like a kid, waiting for the grown-ups to finish talking. Of course as a kid I didn't have a remote control with a fast-forward button..
Would I watch this movie again? Absolutely not. Would I recommend it to anybody else? Not really. But seeing the rating it gets here on IMDb, maybe thats just me.... So go ahead, give it a try and make your own judgment. But don't say I didn't warn you.
