Excellent, excellent, and even more excellent

Rating: 9/10 (26 August 2009)

Inglourious Basterds is a spectacular film, in which the acting, music, camera angles, screenplay, costume design and everything else comes together to create a 2 1/2 hour entertainment powerhouse.
Cristoph Waltz just shines as Col. Hans Landa, and his Cannes win was deserved.
The dialogue was witty and the action scenes were done awesomely. I felt the tension the whole way through.
My only criticism is that the film is subtitles intensive, since a lot of the dialogue is in French and German. So it won't be a film for those who don't like to read subtitles for long stretches.
Quentin Tarantino is a master director, and I hope IB is rewarded with Academy Award nominations (and wins, of course).
