Little flaws

Rating: 7/10 (2 September 2009)

Admittedly it is one of the hardest tasks to make a movie about the Nazis/WWII. IB might be the best one I've seen so far. The problem I and probably many people have is that we know very much about the period of time and automatically, we keep on comparing the historical information stored in our brains with what we see on the screen. IB, of course, is far from being close to historical facts, but still the setup of the movie are "real". So I was very excited and my heart was throbbing towards the end, and the tension that is built up got stronger and stronger as the film goes on for a looong time, so I couldn't help being just a little disappointed of the end that seemed a bit too simple, given the complicated characters and drama that is built up during the movie.
That being said, it still was quite entertaining. What I didn't like was that some characters were kind of useless to the script, as Mike Myers' act, which was good, merely served to introduce the British spy, who got killed shortly after he was introduced. Also, I would have liked to see more of Hugo Stiglitz and all of the Basterds in action, not just in flashbacks.
But anyway, great performance by most of the actors (except maybe the German actress/spy who was a little lame) and of course the greatest idea for a movie about the Nazis. Still a must-see.
