"...I think this might be my masterpiece"

Rating: 8/10 (5 January 2015)

The last dialogue of the movie. I agree with Tarantino. This is his masterpiece. Why? I've enjoyed the entire 2.5 hours. The acting performances were very good. And most importantly there was a satisfying ending.
Forget about the history. Watch it like a movie. Other than that you can't connect with it. Remember connection is very important.
Inglourious Basterds is a complete film from artistic point of view. It is not a serious film. It will make you laugh out loud, root for the good guys, fear the villains, feel sorry for the suffered ones.
There are two outstanding parts in this film. The casting and Christopher Waltz performance. Waltz Oscar is a well deserved one. Truthfully this is the best performance in villains role I've seen since Heath Ledger's Joker. The casting is phenomenal. The "Basterds" are perfect.
A downside of the film is that we are acquainted with Tarantino's style. For this most of the "unexpected scenes" didn't surprise me. Still he managed to steal some individual moments from my consciousness.
Final Verdict: Inglourious Basterds is slightly underrated. My rating is 8.5/10.
